Don't do drugs kids...

This guy is experiencing some issues, and now we have to do a bit of cleanup. Might as well get some entertainment out of it. Gonna turn this into a hard-beat industrial techno video. Let me know if you want the source for your own entertainment.

Junk Drawer

Junk Drawer Digging through the junk drawer finding shit I knew was lost A bic lighter random keys to locks that have lost their relevance. The noise on the peripheral persists so I dig through another container a t-shirt I do not recall a sock with a skull a 3D printed polygonal cat But there are no spoons Each container full but empty and the clatter at the periphery persists a…

Looking Back Blind

Nostalgia is a prisonbuilt from the stones that anchor the trenches dug as the row gets plowedby the dragging across the ages and miles Memory is not a shelterit is a trap for the unprepareda hole in the row, as cavities growand the rictus is mistaken for smiles a shell of a comfortable mirrorpointed back but not pointed to selfnever looking ahead to the alternate pathsjust falling into the…

Last Payment

Nobody knows what this will cost meHonesty’s too realThe baring of the layers ofCallous armor peels Away from the scarred and brokenmending lines and painA confession long unspokenof plans too long refrained To tell the truth to myselfwould shatter me awaywhen I look at what is left insidethere’s nothing left to say Hatred left a wastelandrage a scorched pathviolence was the answerbut the…

Where we go

Updating

Adding links to friends, bands, resources, and shit I like over in the LINKS! page. (See the main menu, not gonna double link…) Kinda going old school and slowly removing all but the minimum from most social media. Twitch and Youtube are gonna get most of my traffic until I can get a streaming resource on this page that works reliably. Keep an eye open

Visible Noise

On this search for entertaining things to add to what I do, I learned about visual synthesizers. Thanks to my friend Alex Plasko, musician and Photographer extraordinaire, I found hardware and software versions of what I was wanting. After looking at pricing, I decided to start with Cathodemer.

Creative tools and Technology

Expanding on a thought I posted on a FB page.

My original thought, and expanding on the theme. My auditory and visual arts use technology and randomly generated unintended noises based on the use of saturated and distorted effects on generated and sampled sounds. I do the same with video and illustration. I also incorporate AI-generated imagery into videos and still pictures to enhance the whole. Visually I am also using video synthesis on…
