That American Idol guy who killed his wife who experienced AI psychosis via a never ended slew of prompt generated love songs for his mistress is a bit on the nose, but glad to see Suno getting some press.

Music is inherently social and prompt-based genAI of any medium will never be able to fully square this circle without presenting yourself as just a straight cornball.

My advice to anyone considering grad school: get the public uni degree over the private bc the faculty you want to study with are all adjuncts and will never get a full time job at either so you might as well go to the place that won’t put you in decades worth of debt.

Every single brand, organization, governmental agency, elected official, public figure, and journalist that is still posting on Twitter is complicit in fascism, the assault on trans rights, and the proliferation child sexual abuse content. It's just so thoroughly revolting. I hate it

One time in 🇵🇷 I was at the 🔫 range and Logan Paul walked in and just because it was ridiculous for him to be there I audibly laughed out loud and he looked at me really concerned and I realized it was cuz I was laughing at him while holding a loaded G17 and that would probably concern anybody

Late disco/early house/freestyle music truly had the power to bridge the various racial divides that plagued the tristate area and that’s why they invented hair metal to distract inner city and suburban ethnic whites from keeping their eyes on the prize. 😔

I know it's a cliche at this point to say but music bloggers were truly the canary in the coal mine for having their work ingested into ai systems that replaced them when echo nest used the whole music blogosphere to create data sets for streaming service rec systems. BuT iT's JuSt MuSiC

Entire mainstream media and Berniecrats missing the forest for the trees by not framing their criticism of AI within the context of everyone at the top being part of an accelerationist cult that takes the work of Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin as factual prophecy.

I decided to start Klang Academy as a culmination of over a decades worth of teaching and learning from my students along the way. Many of the issues they run into stem from some combination of both gear acquisition syndrome and a lack of mentorship that guides them throughout their sonic journey.

Peretsky @peretsky.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Musicians and sonic artists do not need more technical tutorials, they need to learn how to compose, produce, and publish their work with intention. This intention needs to be the spark in which the fire can burn, you can’t expect to find it halfway through the process.
