Patch notes below:

Super, super pleased with the Electus Versio firmware’s feature to sidechain the tail with the input. It creates lets you paint these vast washes while still letting the dry sound come through somewhat. Here’s that leading into data bender in micro mode. Both are clocked, leading to rhythmic glitchy delays.

Source sound is, as always, Taiko and Daiko controlled by Marbles. Jittery main beat on Taiko, while Daiko 1/2 are playing on a ratio, fed a random value by Pam’s every so many bars to make a break. Taiko has noise in for release 2, while 0-ctrl is also clocked with a sequence going to Daiko’s wave and gate outs on a handful of steps to accents on each drum. Pam’s has a random reset to keep it changing over time.

Subharmonicon is also playing some chime-y notes on Prime clock divisions (1/16, 3/16, 5/16, 7/16) for interest and to add more tonal content into the tail of Electus.

I'm fully supportive of AI learning for advancing science such as complex folding of proteins, RNA, and drug research and similar pursuits.

But "creativity"?

AI can never be more than a superficial imitation of work created by humans with genuine emotions. The only practical use I've heard of are AI generated cover letters, which are pure drivel and smarmy bullshit in the first place.

I don't want to ask AI a question. I don't want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don't want AI search bars to be the default and I don't want them to be in such a way that I can't opt out. I don't want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrappers. I don't want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn't driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that's not what's happening right now and I hate it.

UNBOXIING SYNIDO AUDIO INTERFACE THAT WORKS WITH IPAD ! /TIPS & TRICKS &...

[gentlemean]

Since I'm getting back into composing, I wanted to set myself some challenges. I'd say my orchestral music is pretty good, but I haven't really tried to write anything beyond the realm of classical symphonies lately.

So: I set out to write a little theme for @meat-planet, which is the silly little webcomic of @cottoncandylesbo and their streaming gang (whose streams I've been enjoying greatly over the last few months!!).

Creative thoughts under the cut!

Picture this: you're sitting in a cheap diner, and while you're trying to enjoy the deepfried food of your choice, those whimsical idiots who are running the place keep getting into trouble.

In the background, we've got some typical lo-fi stuff. An electric guitar playing gentle chords, an electric bass, some drums, all run through that nice filter that makes everything soft.

Then, the individual characters get their chances to shine:

First off, there's @jame7t. They're clumsy, they're funny, they get into trouble. Their voice is played by a guitar with a wah-filter, because a weh-filter hasn't been invented yet.

Following them, there's @kelleycubes, being played by the slimiest sythesizer I could fit into this song. She's more elegant, more refined, more slimy.

Next is @sanitymakesposts, with the acoustic guitar. He's gentle, he's taking the time to stike whole chords instead of just pressing forward with his melody.

Then it's time for the big boss herself, @cottoncandylesbo. They've got that crunchy distortion, his electric guitar is the only thing in this song that's kinda grinding against the soft lo-fi filter.

Second to last, we've got @christianstepmoms. Siel is grumpy but straightforward, and his part is the only one that doesn't start with a pick-up beat.

Last but not least, we've got @cryptotheism's Mattie. Mattie's voice is played by a clarinet, goofing around in the background. It's more lively than the others, with multiple groups of eight notes instead of calmer, distinct melodies.

And Now, The Ribbon is Tied Event Story Summary

TL;DR: The group was working on a new song together. It was suddenly late, Amia asked Yuki if anything is okay with her mother, she said it was alright and that she was logging off earlier to not worry her and that working with N25 is where she feels more comfortable. Amia reflected how much time has passed since then that she feels the exact same as Yuki. They then wakes up the next day to a package from their sister.

At SEKAI, Mizuki called out to Miku and Luka. Luka asks about the ribbon they were wearing which was from their sister who is abroad starting out as a fashion designer and that she left around the time they joined N25. Luka asked about how Mizuki and Ena met.

Around a year ago, Mizuki was sitting through the opening ceremony. Afterwards, they stayed on the rooftop for the rest of the day. At home, they thought about the finale of an anime they liked and the campaigns for it. A week later, they've finished the video before the finale's airing. After that, they wondered about what to watch next but found nothing of interest.

During that, Ena applied to the art school she wanted to. In the entrance exam day, she was started having a breakdown while taking it. She suddenly shouted until she realised that it was just a dream.

A week later, Mizuki didn't go to school due to being tired of everything. Then Ena and them found a song made by K that resonated with the both. Ena made a drawing based on the song and Mizuki found art that was made from K's song and made a video using the song and the art.

K requested the both to make an MV together which they finished in a week. After that, Amia was hesitant about continuing to work with them, but after some pushing with their sister, decides to accept the offer. In the present, they were glad they met N25 and that they could make more songs together.

Note: events happening in the past are indicated with italics

Chapter 1: The group was working on a new song together. Amia wondered if Yuki was okay since her mother took away her sythesizer. They asked for criticism for the storyboard before fine-tuning it. Enanan asked for the transition to the chorus to look more intense, and although thought it might delay the upload. K accepted it.

It was suddenly 4:30 am, Amia asked Yuki if anything okay with her mother, she said it was alright and that she was logging off earlier for 'the sake of her health'. Suddenly a sound was heard from Yuki's room and she went to go check. Afterwards, she found nothing and just thought it was her imagination. K expressed concern about it but Yuki mentioned how working with N25 is where she feels more comfortable.

After both Yuki and K logged off, Amia and Enanan talked about how the MV looked similar to the first one they made together. Amia realized how much time has passed since then and admits that she feels the exact same as Yuki.

Mizuki wakes up the next day and they saw a text from their mother saying that they got a package from their sister.

Chapter 2: The package contained some clothes and a ribbon. Mizuki wondered how their sister is doing abroad. The package also contained rare foreign snacks which they decided to give to the others in SEKAI.

At SEKAI, Mizuki called out to Miku and Luka and gives them their snacks. Luka asks about the ribbon they were wearing. They said it was from their sister who was abroad starting out as a fashion designer. They also said that she left around the time they joined N25. Luka asked about how Mizuki and Ena met.

Around a year ago, Mizuki was sitting through the opening ceremony when two students called out to them. They mumbled about how they would've skipped and lied on the roof if the teacher hadn't found them. They stayed there for the rest of the day.

At home, they remembered about the finale of the magical girl anime they liked to watch. They looked up the campaigns for hyping up to it and decided to make a video for it. Mizuki's sister came into their room and asked if Mizuki wanted to see clothes she made a while ago. She also asked if Mizuki was doing alright. Mizuki shrugged it off but her sister was still worried.

Chapter 3: On the way to school, two students forgot to do their homework and then they spotted Mizuki. After they've gone home, they continued making the video for the campaign. They thought about how they're looking forward to the finale but they're also sad about it as well.

A week later, they've finished the video thirty minutes before the finale's airing. After the airing, they wondered what they should watch next but finding nothing of interest. They wanted to talk to their sister about it but she's currently out shopping for the flight. They feel sad about how they're not going to have much time to hang out and talk like they used to.

Another week later, they didn't go to school due to being tired of everything. They didn't want to worry everyone around her. Then they found a song made by K and it deeply resonated with them.

Chapter 4: Mizuki found art that was made from listening to K's song. They decided to make a video using the song and the art they've found. They finished it the next morning. Though they forgot that they shouldn't have done that without getting permission from the artist first. They DMed Enanan to ask permission to post it.

In the present, Miku asked about why Mizuki didn't want to go to school which they answered that the things they were dealing with was annoying. Ena approached them asking what they we're talking about. Ena talks about her side of the story.

Around a year ago, Ena applied to the art school she wanted to. In the entrance exam day, she was started having a mental breakdown while taking it. She suddenly shouted until she realised that it was just a dream. She also snapped at her mother and feels terrible about it.

Chapter 5: Ena started breaking down while drawing something. She heard a notification from a post of a high schooler's selfie that got 300 likes. She started doing the same thing in hopes of getting likes.

The next day, she wakes up to find 700 likes from the selfie she uploaded. She had the sudden confidence to draw again but she ended up drawing nothing that satisfies her. She ends up posting more selfies to get more attention.

Later, she ended up having a breakdown due to the notifications she kept recieving. Thinking of wanting to disappear, she suddenly found a recommended post from someone sharing their thoughts on K's song. She found the inspiration to make something after listening to it.

The next day she wakes up to a DM from someone who used her art to make a music video.

Chapter 6: A week later, K sent Amia a message requesting to make the music video of an upcoming song. They were skeptical if this was K, but the latter sent demos of a few of her songs. After that, she accepts it.

When the time comes, K sent the demo and told Amia and Enanan to just express what the both felt after listening to the demo.

Amia felt hesitant but decided to do it anyways because they wanted to.

Chapter 7: Amia and Enanan works on the music video together. Quickly after both of them muted, Enanan finished the rough draft. Amia paused after glancing on the draft of a girl screaming, being reminded of what people thought about them.

Amia continues working on the music video, when Enanan confronts them about what they felt after glancing at it. Amia explained about how they interpreted the song, having the girl "forcing a smile while not being able to do so". Being hurt way too much to the point where they'd stop caring, running from the pain and doing fun things to forget about it.

Enanan understood what they meant. Both of them decided to go for what Amia interpreted.

Enanan suggested the concept of "having something broken being taken away" with the girl holding a box that could be changed depending on the viewer and someone crushes the box and tells her it's worthless. Amia suggested to add a ribbon to the box to signify that it is important to the girl in the music video.

A week later, they finished the music video and then K asked the both if they wanted to working with her and Yuki.

Chapter 8: Enanan accepts the offer while Amia was hesitant about it.

The next day, Mizuki we're reflecting on how much fun they had making the music video but also scared about what they will think of them and that they will leave them.

Mizuki's sister comes in and gives them things before she leaves the next day. She noticed the MV playing and Mizuki explained what it was. They begin to express how they feel comfortable but also doesn't know if she belongs there. Their sister said that places where they don't belong doesn't exist, and that they should be in a place where they think she belongs to.

Mizuki's sister gave them a mannequin and a ribbon and tells them that they shouldn't give up the things they love and that she'll support them no matter what. Amia joins the call and accepts the offer.

Back in the present, Mizuki was glad that they have met N25 and that they could make more music videos with K's song to deliver to more people.

i hate punching bag characters like as a concept (the the degree that ive has to stop watching shows like parks and rec because of their treatment of jerry) but myron is such a good punching bag character because he's actively the fucking worst. like he's a creep to women. he owns and abuses slaves. he'm brags about sythesizing a drug with a nearly 100% addiction rate. he's canonically a rapist.

when npcs shit talk him i'm like, yea, that's a reasonable response to his behavior.

crystal's tunes #1 - Hex Dealer by Lip Critic (2024)

for the first album to talk about on this new blog, why not go with the most recent album i've been loving, namely Lip Critic's debut studio album Hex Dealer. i first heard of these guys late last year, and was immediately intrigued by their unconventional instrumentation - two samplers, and two live drummers. in anticipation for the album i listened to their previous releases countless times, and since the album's release back in May its been one of my most streamed albums of the last month.

the opening track, It's The Magic, immediately sets the vibe with a comparatively slow and long track (4.5 minutes as opposed to the album's average of 2.5), but this works very well to ease you into the unique sound on display here. bret's vocals are absolutely fantastic on this album, providing a raw, punk energy to every track, but it never becomes *too* much. they know when to pull back and give a quieter performance before absolutely yelling one final chorus to pack an extra punch.

the real highlight of this album though is the production. the combination of distorted samples (though never straying into harsh noise territory) along with the two live drum tracks offer you a wide variety of textures and rhythms that never lose your attention. this is probably the most inspiring and creatively produced album i've heard this year, its completely unlike anything else i've heard recently and is bursting with enough energy to get you absolutely locked in - it's been my soundtrack for when my brain needs a jumpstart all month. every single element here is just so satisfying to listen to, like the audio equivalent of popping bubblewrap. destructive and chaotic, but simultaneously thought out and carefully considered.

these lyrics are surprisingly catchy too, with the choruses of singles Milky Max and In The Wawa (Convinced I Am God) being major earworms. they also don't stay too serious with this album's lyricism, often going for absurdist or surreal scenarios as opposed to personal introspection, especially on My Wife and the Goblin, a song about his wife and the goblin and how his son and the mailman want to kill him with bombs. its an utterly ridiculous concept for a track, but its so well-constructed that it just works effortlessly.

(tw: flashing images from 1:30)

there are darker moments on the album however, such as the first half of Sermon, which feels like you're being surrounded by a suffocating stormcloud and offers a brief moment of respite from the fast-paced madness, before going into a frantic breakdown with deliberately strained vocals launching you into the back half of the album.

the combination of highly sythesized instruments and percussion including breakbeat loops combined with the live dual drumming helps create a unique sound on every track, with each song taking on its own distinct identity despite often sharing some common qualities. from rapid arpeggiators to gritty bass tones, soft keys to vocal samples, theres never a dull moment here. Lip Critic have created an explosion of creative, colourful and crushing music and compressed it into a 32-minute blast of intensity and energy, and they're shoving it directly into your bloodstream.

if you check out the album and wanna hear more, i highly recommend their previous project Lip Critic II (technically their first "album", though it's more like a mixtape), as well as their EPs Lip Critic: Truth Revealed and Kill Lip Critic, especially the song Entry Level Stud (a song about getting your kidneys stolen while trying to get an ear piercing at Claire's).

Everyone has Mai, it came free with your fucking Sythesizer V Studio Pro!

(I might be making a song using Mai so I'm making my own design for her)

[restrainedhungr]

so I was talking a little with @/forzaun and it kinda solidified my thoughts on how drugs, alcohol, ect work on Briar

Basically, anything that is *sythesized* or not natural, processed ect, does not effect her, or effects her to a different degree due to the unnatural parts that compose it.

Alcohol does not effect Briar Tobacco might/Smoking Drugs that are "uppers" become "downers" for her and vice versa Hallucinations that are synthesized, do not work at all

Shimmer as an example works more akin to alcohol to Briar, than it does a miracle drug or steroid. It also doesn't have the same addicting qualities it does for humans, outside of it making blood taste different flavors (depending on the kind of shimmer they're using)

Natural hallucinogens, and things that get you high do work on Briar as normal though Mushrooms Eating/Licking poisoning toads Pure fermented fruits will get Briar "drunk"
