Ok so something just flew overhead putting out a sound that was *almost* a pure sine wave with an amplitude pulse and just... the way it sounded as it hit the heights of its pulse, my first thought was, "my dude put a compressor on that!" 🤪 Oh no...

And **another** thing!!! Don't come at me ever and tell me that you learned how to do xyz thanks to AI You learned fuck-all. The machine did it for you, and in the case of generating music, art, writing, or any kind of creative endeavor,

The same people who are impressed by AI music are the same that have conversations on speaker phone in public places.

Ok, so I decided not to record a second version of "samtal við Ummon" with Layer D pitched down the extra octave, because I found that I can do that pitch shift while the sequence is running, and it'll shift without having to strike the key again So, filing that away for possible live performances

Ok I'm going to have another yell about AI that I feel is necessary. I am so sick and fucking tired of the inevitability argument that everyone is bringing up. Although it feels like AI is a grievous sickness unleashed upon the world akin to the Pandora's Box myth, this is not some all-powerful

www.subvert.fm/raudvik/trac... I have a new song out and it's pretty great! It's also shorter than my usual fare so if the length of my songs is something that's always kind of put you off listening, now you can have something that's more agreeable length-wise 🙂

I needed to try something different with my music, so I took a day to sit down and learn how to use ZebraHZ. This is the result of that learning session. I hope you like what you hear as much as I en...

First version of "samtal við Ummon" is recorded and it's playback check time! Clocked in at 28:45, but to be honest, I could have just let it run forever. This soundscape is so much fun to play with and listen to.

Tapping the sign again, and I will extend it to include the following: Don’t sit there and tell me that AI is a tool, either. If you can’t create something without using the plagiarism machine, then, bluntly, you aren’t meant to create. Exit door. See yourself through it.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Made a second version of "samtal við Ummon" with the common pitch octave register for Layer D shifted to 0 rather than -1 where I had it for YouTube yesterday. Have a project file for both in Bitwig, so we'll see which one I end up liking more.

#JustListened So once again, I'm at a loss for words when it comes to the music @raudvik.northsky.social makes. But I did enjoy this one! It evokes images of space travel for me; vast and wide open, with the tiniest spec of melody as the spacecraft. Listen on headphones! Highly recommended!

As far as this new piece from the #multi/poly fits into the greater whole of "staður handan tímans", it'll be the second to last track, followed by "erkienglar" The coincidence of it is, "samtal við Ummon" is in Eb Mixolydian, and "erkienglar" is Eb Major, so the album brightens a bit as it

Video for "samtal við Ummon" is done That was a great performance, and I'll share the link soon. Checking a bit of playback first because the #multi/poly being the multi/poly, that soundscape got pretty intense and drove levels pretty hot.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Have any of y’all seen the video footage of the massive billboard on the back of a barge showing a ChatGPT ad of a breaching whale, which in turn ruins the view of the actual ocean? Fuck AI, and fuck these tech-bro fascists. Stop using it, and let their burgeoning empire crumble.

So looking like there won't be a full-length release for the beginning of October, but that's ok I haven't been resting on my laurels, as it were, just got wrapped up in other things I'm going to start building "samtal við Ummon" on the #multi/poly this afternoon, and I'll start practicing

A challenge! If you're reading this, post about something cool that your friends have made. Here's a two-track album one of my best friends ever put out some years back. It is because of him that I dove into synthesizers and started making music, so... staer.bandcamp.com/album/equili...

I'm just a professor of creative writing. I thrive on ambiguity! But I'm exhausted by administrators from the "hard" disciplines appealing to "it's messy" to describe something that is. If you say you didn't use AI, but you did, you lied. That's not a "debate," a "different POVs." That just *is.*

I've changed my mind about having "Tríton" land with blávik. This feels like it needs to belong to my primary half.

Time to go off a tiny bit You know what I learned beyond a shadow of a doubt today while making this new song using a heretofore unknown method (for me, at least)? genAI is absolutely unnecessary, and anyone who acts like it is necessary is utterly full of shit.
