Oblivion Sound Lab @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’m doing themed Letterboxd favourites, starting with slashers where the killer wears a motorcycle helmet. I’m back on a giallo tip and watched Strip Nude this week. Easily the sleaziest giallo I’ve seen. There is bush within the first ten seconds. 030

Oblivion Sound Lab @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Drill down into this thread and check out the early versions of Take on Me. The very first version sounds like ‘60s garage rock, and Morten Harket’s initial stab at the song is completely bonkers. 052

Oblivion Sound Lab @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social · 18/09/2026FINALLY finished patch design for my next soundset. This one is a collaboration with a musician, who is making a percussion sample pack to accompany the soundbank. Expect EBM, darkwave, and dark electronic sounds on this one. Stay tuned. 030
Oblivion Sound Lab @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I roll my eyes when someone (usually a right wing agitator) spouts off about schools and doctors “turning kids trans”.

Oblivion Sound Lab @oblivionsoundlab.bsky.social · 18/09/2026When did YouTube on iOS start supporting picture-in-picture outside of the US? So nice of Google to support a feature that’s been in iOS since 2020. I shouldn’t grumble. It’s nice to be able to listen to music on YouTube and do something else at the same time, instead of staring at a static video. 010
