my minecraft city is bigger than a square kilometer
I might be getting carried away The very loose idea is a solarpunk city. I haven’t been able to find any solar panel mods that work with my server, so I’ve been focusing on greenery, farming, and public transportation in the form of minecart rails everywhere. I might write a more detailed post about New…

pretty pleased with how these drums are sounding
isolated drums from my cover of “Look What You Made Me Do” (work in progress) Sound Toys’ “Little Radiator” and a mono spring reverb impulse response are doing the heavy lifting Feel free to download the audio and use it in your own projects. If you do, I’d appreciate if you would credit me

work in progress: cover of Taylor Swift’s “Delicate”
part of my WIP Taylor Swift dub reggae cover album project There’s not much of that dub flavor yet, but there will be more in the final mix Ngl, I really like the interplay between the bass and the drums, i.e. between myself and Tidalcycles. When collaborating with humans isn’t practical or available, collaborating with…

snippet of Taylor Swift’s “Calm Down” – my dub reggae version
a few days ago I posted this without any melody and asked if anybody could tell what Taylor Swift song it was. It’s “Calm Down” (a work in progress). Out of all the songs I’m doing for this cover album, I think one lends itself to reggae the most. For the bonus points, the non-synthesized…

can you guess what taylor swift song this is?
I’m working on a dub reggae Taylor Swift cover album. Here’s a snippet of a track but I muted the melody. Can you figure out which of her songs it is? hint: this version is about the same tempo as the original, and I haven’t changed any chords bonus points: can you tell which instruments…

I love the patterns on this froggy
or is it a toady? are they the same? or is it froggie? so many questions this cute little amphibian was hanging on to the side of our garage

VCV Rack resonator sequence
delay is probably my favorite effect. I also love physical modeling. This short clip uses both

not all heroes wear capes
is it unethical to punch a nazi? No. If someone wants to systematically wipe out entire groups of people it’s not assault, it’s self-defense.

inside a Hammond M100 organ
So many tubes. That’s part of what makes its sound so lovely A few years ago I recorded a bunch of drones which you can get here: https://archive.org/details/beckstrom_hammond_organ_drones

I built a skyscraper library in minecraft
My world needed a tall building so I made a library. It has 10 floors and the view from the top is nice. It’s made almost entirely of stained glass, and with some nice shaders it looks awesome. As always I wanted to do a solarpunk thing. I don’t have a solar panel mod, so…

arbitrary dress codes are stupid
I’ll just say it.. they are stupid. Working on a job site building a house? Hard hats and boots should probably be required. Going for a round of golf? Why tf does it matter if you wear denim, or – god forbid – forget to tuck in your shirt? Can you imagine how disgusting it…

alternative birdhouses
we moved the birdhouse about 15 feet so the noisy chicks wouldn’t be right outside my office window giving me bird-flavored sensory overload. instead of using the birdhouse, this bird decided to use hanging planters… which are right outside my office window. One is filled with eggs and one is filled with adorable chicks. They…

Some interesting designs on a tree
We were cutting down a dead pine today and I noticed these really cool patterns on the trunk. I don’t know what made them. I’d guess some combination of bugs and birds. Regardless of the artists’ species I enjoy their work.

yes GPTBot, eat up! enjoy the maze of garbage
Check out Iocaine – it traps web bots in a never-ending maze of garbage text instead of letting them scrape your actual website The image is a screenshot of my terminal showing recent requests from my web server. Right now it’s all GPTBot, whose purpose is to scrape data to train “AI” models, or, steal…

Book: “Simple Sabotage Field Manual”
A relic of World War II, this literature describes easy, simple ways that everyday citizens can toss wrenches in the machine, figuratively and literally. Useful if you happen to work for or with a fascist government. Purely theoretical and for entertainment purposes only. “Simple Sabotage Field Manual” by United States. Office of Strategic Services is…

solarpunk synth modular drums?
Continuing in my obsession of African music here’s a snippet of a work in progress. It gives me a solarpunk vibe, I can imagine dusty distorted modular synths, powered by the sun of course, playing African-inspired rhythms on top of a building covered in flowers and vines if you like this, don’t just listen to…
