I’m trying milk alternatives this week. Oat milk gets a pass, even though it tastes a bit like nutrigrain. Almond milk does not spark joy.

I enjoyed Spider-Man: Brand New Day as the director intended, in Screen X and with the sound of The Odyssey rumbling in from the next cinema over during the quiet moments.

"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)

New music! This one was originally planned for a fanmade FFXIV romance visual novel, but seeing as the project has been on hiatus for about a year I decided it was time to finish and release it! Full video: youtu.be/6phYSDFFlSM #FFXIV #ff14 #finalfantasyxiv

It's Queensland Games Fest again this weekend! I'm not doing the Lightning Talks this year, but I thought I might share a bit of my talk from last year

Title card, it says "comb filtering in 5 minutes or less with Zander Hulme" on an image of a spectrograph of a comb filter sweep

Sad news - those beautiful arrangements are such a special part of the Tull sound on those albums she worked on.

Watched the Mandolorian and Grogu for the second time tonight - *such* a fun movie. My favourite character is the trumpet fanfare that plays right at the end of the film. #starwars #themandalorianandgrogu

Of course the ABC is running this publicity for the far right. Has any news media ever run the equivalent, teary “why I’m leaving for an actual left wing party” article or does this just go one way?

The Mandalorian and Grogu is ridiculously fun - and I loved how bold Ludwig Göransson’s score is in melding classic symphonic elements with synths and sound design.

I've been re-listening to some old music I ended up making unlisted, because the lack of response at the time had me convinced it wasn't good. Here I am, 4 years later, and finding it is both high-quality, and totally in line with what I am trying to achieve today! youtu.be/671MY-4hQoM

🗡️🌊 @mattnava.bsky.social and @awintory.bsky.social have a long career of collaboration, their two creative disciplines intertwined. I remember distinctly how exciting it was when Journey was nominated for a Grammy, and now Sword of the Sea is the latest winner. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Music stores should also have cats in them and sometimes the guitars will have cat scratches in them and that will be okay

The bassist who played on the Golden Girls theme was COOKING - the *Dun-Dun*, the descending scale, then doubling the melody and ending playing a power chord. 🔥🔥🔥

Timothée’s a little bit right though, yeah? Musicals run for weeks, months, or years. In opera you get maybe four performances - if you’re lucky. It would be nice to be working in a genre enough people were actually interested in seeing, so you could do more than a handful of shows.

Just watched the most recent #StarTrek episode ‘The Life of the Stars’. This one will surely go down as one of the great Star Trek episodes. The performances by Holly Hunter, Kerrice Brooks and particularly Robert Picardo in this one are truly something special.

My and Aaron's High Score talk from last year is finally online 👀 It's a deep dive into the Cozy Caravan FMOD project, and turns out there's some wacky shit in there. Unfortunately the sound is via the PA not direct, but most of it still comes across pretty well www.youtube.com/watch?v=18CV...

I’m considering becoming *that person* who unwraps lollies in quiet moments at concerts. Does anyone know where I can source lollies wrapped in actual cellophane or is it better to DIY it and wrap my own?

So the credit card option on the KWS/Epic Games age verification platform that Blue Sky uses doesn't even work? It just comes up as declined for no reason. There's no way I'll be giving them my face or id scan, so I can't get to any DM's on here for now.
