Think I figured out the source of some unwanted blips in the sequence layer of the new patch and I *believe* it was some bogging in the transmission of MIDI through the USB-B cable while I had the editor open while doing other things on my laptop

I also think I have a catchphrase of sorts for my #music that I could possibly put on a run of t-shirts (still really thinking about that) "tónlist fyrir þinn eigin heimsendi" – music for your own apocalypse

Final change made to the #modwave patch to really have it ready for YouTube and Bitwig Changed the overall pan of oscillators 1 and 2 on Layer B. Panned OSC 1 all the way to the left and OSC 2 all the way to the right (kept the sub in the middle), and that's made Layer A

So here's this album from Fluke I didn't think I'd be able to get because of outrageous shipping costs (thanks, 🍊) But my partner's awesome, and hooray for an early birthday present

Couple more ideas are coming into focus for the Hyperion project I want to do "andóreiða" – anti-entropy on the #wavestate and have that be Berlin School-ish too now that I'm becoming more proficient with that style and starting to enjoy making it more

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The ideas I've been having lately have been catchy enough that I have them in my head before I've even gotten the sequences programmed in either a hardware synth or into my DAW It's been great, and I hope this feeling persists for a while 🙂

A lot of fun to sit back and vibe with after having to honest-to-god use a calculator to figure out a few precise modulation values that had no room for guessing Anyway, this is half done, and my brain is shot #ambient #modwave #musicsky #berlinschool

Building the new #modwave sound finally. I have a sequence I like fed into a delay and reverb I like. #wavetable shopping has been a pain in the ass, and my planned modulations resulted in a humongous mess, so I'm having to completely re-evaluate all those plans. Getting there... getting there 🙂

So I've had a few days to ponder why the "inevitability" angle for pro-AI arguments has been bothering me **so** much, and I've landed on why. This won't be too long of a thread because I've managed to condense all of these ponderances down to their essence CW ahead

Icelandic made a very interesting choice with their prefix choice on "greind" – "intelligence; mind" for "genAI" spunagreind = genAI one of the meanings of "spuni" from which we get the "spuna-" prefix is "tailspin; corkscrew"

I recently spoke with someone who isn't familiar with me or my work. They weren't sure if my music was legit. so I'll say it now. I DO NOT use genAI at any point in my work, and NEVER will.

Dreaming up a new #modwave thing that won't be part of the Hyperion project Still wanting to do something Berlin School-ish, and thinking on the title, "það er kominn tími til að gjöreyðileggja spunagreindina" – "it's time to destroy genAI"

Been going thru it but it hasn't killed me (yet). First time I felt like doing anything musical in a while, so I went live and captured it. www.youtube.com/live/fOMei14... Yet another dive into the possibilities of the benjolin accompanied by a resynthesizer and some granular processing & delay.

So I just saw something a little while ago about how in this current age of AI-generated madness, human-created art – and specifically art with happy accidents – is needed more than ever, and it got me thinking about my music and how it fits in with the idea of happy accidents, with a focus on the

90 minutes to go until "samtal við Ummon" releases, and 4 hrs. and 30 min. left until Bandcamp Friday begins Tested it in the car when I was out earlier and my god it's thunderous and the swells really roar at you (in a good way) Get excited!

As the release time for this draws nearer, I really hope that my nearly-overwhelming excitement about how well this song turned out and how rad it is rubs off on some folks and they'll take time time to dive in. I mean it when I say if ambient songs could be bangers, this one would fit the bill

5/8 songs for "staður handan tímans" are done now Runtime thus far is 145 minutes This is easily going to close in on if not eclipse the 240-min. mark. Regardless of a potential 4-hr. runtime, I still intend on pricing it reasonably so you get quite a lot of music for your hard-earned money

Firstly, and probably most importantly in a way, the minilogue xd works since I'm using that as my MIDI controller for my VST synths. Additionally, I was prompted to install Rosetta when opening the Librarian software, so that should allow for continued function once macOS 28 hits Hooray!
