Several comments that this location seems like a simulation.
Wish these were in Ableton.
My daughter’s masters exhibition in Zurich.
Most definitely the most evolved and mature work.
Of all of her classmates’.
Wow. Inspiring.
Yes, I know that I am biased.
Sounds so good at low volumes
Don’t quite get the mix/master at louder volumes
Inspirational nevertheless

Again, the best laid plans…
Tired as F.
Good stuff happening in the studio though and the reboot of The Sursumcorda Radio Hour is almost realized.
The best laid plans
Often get disrupted by economic slavery
Another day
Another dollar
“The Olds” = B and I
Uber political
Slanted
Loose band (Sex Mob)
Sex Mob played at my club Sursumcorda circa 2001-2002

Great moments
Braga
Great venue as always
No longer on the edge but nostalgic
I keep vacillating on what genre I want to produce.
Dub Techno is so alluring. Experimental ambient so satisfying.
Guitar-based is so tactile.
I need to get back into a process and stick with it.
So many distractions.
Genius
Unique
Experimental ambient
Wish they were Ableton focused rather than FL Studio.
This was recommended in a Knausgaard subreddit.
Just finished it.
I enjoyed it. 4 of 5 stars.
Deep into physical setup and pre-production for the return of the Sursumcorda Radio Hour.
It’s going to be a gas gas gas.
Scintillating experimental and experimental ambient mixes. Bravo.
Back in the day.
Early 1990s.
Some Minneapolis club.
E B Da
Something new. Low-fidelity experimental ambient guitar. A = 432Hz (as always).
Melancholic based on recent unfoldings of life’s rich pageant
Tape and vinyl-esque
Murky with a bit of shine
Bernadette and I are deep into setting up a studio, pre-production, and nostalgic reboothing of the live streamed Sursumcorda Radio Hour.
This plugin gets a lot of flack from the YouTube producer community, but for experimental ambient production it’s pure quicksilver.
Thank God.
I’m increasingly less interested in making tracks and more interested in documenting a life.
Most modern production advice assumes music is built like a product: define a goal, optimize the workflow, refine the result. Useful enough, maybe. But the music that stays with me feels more like a memory than an achievement.
So my process has become a form of journaling. Music as blog.
I collect fragments: old jazz records, favorite and nostalgic tracks, degraded guitar loops, field recordings, overheard conversations, books, strange photographs, half-forgotten dreams, cities, obsessions, periods of uncertainty. Small artifacts from ordinary life. Then I let them sit together long enough to begin speaking to each other.
I trust accidents more than formulas. Mood more than technical correctness. I trust the strange moments when machines and memory begin blurring together.
Each release feels less like a statement and more like a timestamp. A note left behind saying: this is what the world felt like from where I was standing.
Years later, I hope I can listen back and hear not just songs.
And, leave a time capsule for my family in friends and hope that a giant EMF event doesn’t erase my legacy.
