UVI Falcon 27 is out, and with it THREE gorgeously diverse expansion packs! I did a demo for all 3... this is "AI Torture Dungeon" for Savage 2, with its aggressively clownstep-adjacent snarls, off-kilter neuro wobbles 'n' generally bad attitude: soundcloud.com/uvi-official...

This world needs more colorful/rainbow Thunderbolt cables (not just “USB compatible”) — so confusing how there’s often a tradeoff between charging speed OR data transfer, when one superset TB cable really can do it all… now we deserve to do it with style!

Dario Marianelli’s “Elegy for Dunkirk” from Atonement (2007) and Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” (à la Platoon) share similar melodies and spirit — and harmonize nicely when keymatched. Also the war theme. Strange no one else has picked up on this in all the years since.

There’s a superior alternate universe out there where roughly 75% of synthwave is dominated by James Horner’s syncopated steel drums, swooning shakuhachi, and wildly-wailing sax from Commando.

Ellie Goulding "Lights" has been on my mind since I heard it both in the Elle Fanning movie Teen Spirit and on The Masked Singer. It was also cool to hear Elle sang on a version of Orbital's "Halcyon". I'm fond of when the same element appears in unrelated media.

The vastness of the UVI SonicPass is astounding... even one or a few of these themed instruments (and their playful UIs) would've blown teen me's imagination — I regularly use the electroacoustic harmonics, ethnic plucked, glitchy SFX, vintage sampler homages and soooo many more.

Also, despite how entertaining the Terminator films are, the worst thing to come out of them is an imagination-impoverished mindset that their sensationalist sci-fi is a shibboleth for the "AI doomer" scenario. (That and the Matrix.) Real life, actual possibilities are even more interesting.

Many people lie to themselves everyday, inaccurately feeling they can tell the difference between human and AI — often, they can't! It comes from a fear of losing their own humanity, when the right thing to do is to embrace curiosity, learn and use the tools to gain understanding.

I enjoy rolling fluid chords around tight groove structures — often improvised beats that aren't "loops" but jammed in one go. It's fun to make harp-zither hybrids accelerate and lock into the rhythm, then drift and unsync momentarily.

I believe The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is a pure litmus test of whether you can have unbounded, funmaxxed, anti-cynical enjoyment in this day and age. If you can see it in 4DX with friends and family — go for it — and you'll have a sore back AND many happy memories afterwards!
