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.

New album

To be fair, this isn't just happening in America - it's a worldwide hysterical blindness to seriously fucked up agendas coalescing before our very eyes with virtually no resistance.

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.

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).
