indeed, hard to keep up, keep those reccos coming
I sort of avoid listening to Io, especially the first track, it balances perfectly between being haunting and childlike. Reminds me a bit of Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd's OST for Mysterious Skin.

What the heck, wasn't expecting an MLO mention here. I'd bought Io looooong time ago.
Thanks for the heads up.

correction: in the video I quoted, she says "when they passed MSIs back in 2018, FB's users said it made it less meaningful." Still, that's in agreement to what I said above.

Basically what Frances Haugen said here. They are considered "meaningful social interactions" that are supposed to help a social platform "grow", but in essence they only favour short-termism; they make a social platform more toxic in the longer run. Even FB's users had said "back in 2018 that when they get past 'meaningful social interactions' they make it less meaningful." How is a "50.3k posts" link and an "experienced" badge meaningful to a 100yo like myself.
Personally, I'd like to be able to browse/search a topic like "recently purchased/stolen/eaten/read/watched cds/books/films/bananas" much easier. Those topics tend to be a few hundred pages long; maybe on page 250 someone posted something about a book or record that I didn't know of; I'd like to be able to find that quickly without clicking 'prev/next' and scrolling through quotes of quotes of quotes.

Just thinking about how brian tregaskin made a separate thread for cringe
Seriously, I thought I was the only one confusing tregaskin with trageskin

Was looking at options for making cold brew coffee; initially I thought I'd get a Toddy, but ended up buying a Hario Mizudashi jug. Really practical, although can't say I was amazed with the build quality tbh. So far I've made cold brew coffee and also green tea with it, good stuff.
Next up probably looking to get a burr grinder.

It's similar to that Metallica cover.

For all this evolutionary psychological stuff like "ah yeah the human brain has obviously evolved to focus on the mid-low frequencies because the stone age sabertooth tiger's farts were exactly on the same fundamental and so you see this gave an evolutionary advantage and also explains why the original Roland TB-303 was so successful" please kindly fuck off.
New AFX collaboration with Novation: TigerFarts. 1 subosc producing only sabertooth waves. No filter. AI driven but it's not clever. Custom microfartuning patches by RDJ.

This article may be of interest:
The formation of rhythmic categories and metric priming
Also: I know eff-all about neuroscience, but the Mismatch Negativity component (MMN for short) has come up a few times when reading articles about Music Perception & Cognition. Think of this: you listen to an audio stimulus like a metronome i.e., a beep sound at a constant rate:
b b b b b b b b
and suddenly one of the beeps is different (quieter in level, or just silent)
b b b b b q b b
... you perceive this as unexpected (aka a mismatch), and if you were hooked up to an EEG machine, about 400ms after the trigger (the different beep), the EEG would show a 'dip' in its graph. This is of course related to unexpected twists in music, syncopation etc.
Now, here's the awesome thing - this study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29720932/
apparently (aka "if I understand this right") says that people exposed to typical western music show MORE MMN, i.e., they perceive sudden irregularities in music as unexpected, whereas people exposed to non-western music are more chilled with syncopation and their EEGs show less MMN activity (the subjects in that study were sub-saharan Africans that grew up listening to African music).

On a mission to find a sad drum loop. Sure there must be a sad, drum only, hip hop instrumental
It'll be like the "yeah! Woo!" drum loop, but slower and going "no! boohoo!"

Yaaass - Been following the Github progress for about 3 years now (and every 6 months or so blindly trying to compile the source and failing every time near the end of the process). Thanks for the heads up
How come, what's the issue? Just curious
Only had a quick look just now. Interesting stuff, quite a lot of modern C++ used as well.

lol
I've played a decent amount of traditional African music (stuff like gahu, atsia, atsiagbekor, agbadza from Ghana, a bit of sabar from Senegal) that's just drumming & singing. All those styles have at least one part that marks just the offbeats with nothing on the onbeat. So the Dopplereffekt bassline just feels natural this way, in fact it's really similar to a particular Ghanaian drum rhythm.
CK playing Agbadza (this is in 12/8).

i hear the first bass note as 1.
the syncopation in the bassline got me confused for a bit, i had to slow down the audio to figure out how long the loop is. turns out it's 6 measures in 4/4
heck really.. agreed re the 6 bars of 4/4. Tried shifting the track against the metronome, can't hear it any other way, it's too late now
bpm is 108.92
that chord progression tho

Is there an equivalent of this forum in metalhead forums? "Losing the pitch in tracks and knowing it" where they try to dissect some AFX/Ae track

I don't think I ever hear this Meshuggah track correctly. Brain always puts the snares on 1 2 3 4, putting all the cymbals and vocals on the off beat. Sounds cool, but I don't think that's the groove the band intended (I think the cymbals are meant to be on the 1 2 3 4 as well as the vox, but my brain refuses to put it there because of how I interpret the intro riff):
I checked it out, tempo is 110bpm (or 220bpm, whichever suits. I prefer 110).
Song starts on the one. Haake's then enters with cheeky hi-hats in the offbeats like
The bit that starts at 0:32 has bass drum and snare drum like this:

i can't figure out if the snares are on the & (1&2&3&4&) or on the 1. that bit between ~0:50-1:00 where's it's a pretty straightforward thrash might be key to figuring it out but i'm not smart enough
Have only heard this once just now - in that bit you mentioned the SD is on the numbers aka the onbeats.
Usually they put a crash on the 1 when they change from e.g., the verse to a chorus, that's what helped here.
Another similar SD fuckery from them happens in Demiurge, where the snare is on 1 and 3 (not the 2 and 4 as usual).
You ARE smart.

awesome music as well

I've finally given up on r/aphextwin. There was a thread asking if RDJ is your favorite artist.
