Reminds me a bit of the one from The Leftovers, mixed with Twin Peaks and they’re both very favourable comparisons

Listening to a lot of soundtracks for films & video games lately… I just listened to the one from Severance closely & wow. There are a lot of things to really like about that production, but I had never really focussed on the soundtrack in isolation before. It’s a bloody masterclass.

Managed to get along to Patrick Duffy’s (aka ‘The Cardboard Guy’) art exhibition at Kank Wolverang records in Ballarat before it closed… and WOW! The level of detail is IMPRESSIVE! Give the man a cardboard box & he will make a masterpeice!

This is a bird that looks like a cross between a turkey, an otter, and a duck. It dives like a seal or a beaver. The tail flick! It swims underwater for long periods of time & has little bubble trails on the surface as it swims. WTF IS THIS BIRD THIS BIRD IS AUSTRALIA WHAT

w/ Sarah Curro on violin, David Jones composing & drumming live, & guest vocalist Carmen Warrington singing live & on singing bowls for the last three tracks. Six years since this thing started — very grateful to have had the opportunity to share the work so widely.

In 2021 Sarah brought David Jones on board as composer — he wrote an original score & played it live on drums. You might have also seen an early VR presentation of this show at Light Dimension in 2024. This shows how a work like this can have a foot in both art worlds. youtu.be/M3IRGgnOjoc?... 🧵

This one's been six years coming. Back in 2019 Sarah Curro — 1st Violin Section Player w/ the MSO — commissioned the very first VR artworks I ever made: eight visual projections for a live concert. Those 8 pieces became the 1st 8 in my ongoing Circle Series. 🧵

Last night the security cam went off because THERE WAS A RED FOX chucking my one of my work boots into the garden. I didn’t even know we had those here, but apparently we do & apparently they have something against my blundstones. It’s not ruined, but it DID rain, so it was an excellent prank

I've now published all 30+ hours of my Venice Immersive 2025 coverage. I categorized the projects into a dozen elemental genres to help navigate it. There's 64 possible combos of all four elements, but 12 primary dyads. I unpack it all more in this LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/posts/kentby...

There are four elements (earth, air, fire, & water), and if you take into consideration the order / center of gravity, then there are 64 possible orientations. In looking at the dyadic orientations of two elements, then there are a dozen configurations that do a nice job of create "elemental genres" of immersive stories and immersive art. This post shows the twelve combinations, and then the associated projects underneath that.

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

@cyriak.bsky.social Hey! I really loved yr book “Horse Destroys the Universe”. I bought an eBook when it came out, but I recommended it to some folks last week & it’s out of print. Fair enough for the physical books, great job! Is there still a way for my friends to buy an eBook somehow?

I attended an art talk last week where a discussion was held about recognizing art people create online as being just as valid as work recognized by formal institutions. I implore artists working online to document EVERY project you create. Get a journalist to write about it if you can.

For sure! And it’s cool if it’s not for you — I just get really sad for people who won’t even give new music a go. I mean, if I had to listen to the same music I listened to in my teens or early 20s, my creative life would be so limited! Good for you for getting out of your comfort zone!

New Arca album ‘XXXXX’ dropped a few days ago. Perfection. So good. Anyone who tells me that the only good music being made was the music they remember from high school is just lazy & is afraid of expanding their tastes. This is brilliant.

Have been working on a video about my process of making 3D materials & have visited some very beautiful places to gather more images. While editing it’s come to my attention that my fav faux fur coat makes me look like a Babadook that’s getting way too close to random dirt/rocks/sand/mushrooms.

The fact that the headline was “They’re building a future no one wants” — was already clickbait. Which is a total bummer, Lanier’s whole point was that the way we’re thinking about some of these futuristic technologies is entirely wrongheaded

020

ReVerse Butcher @reversebutcher.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

That’s fair & I think that the interviewer, like most interviewers for weird YouTube specials, was probably trying to provoke him into saying something dumb. By making a dumb comparison. I don’t think Lanier took the bait, but you’re right.
