    the Logic of that just fails. Digital Performer is the best name for a kid.

    it's like people buying those shitty stupid looking Yeezy sneakers because they just came out and dude was first in line so has the rare thing which makes him cool because people are fucking shallow and stupid. the video is sped up but.. well..

    there's no joke. the person who made that happen should be punished somehow.. something appropriate. it's awful. i don't want to see everything get ruined because "we can". there's no sacred cows but for fuck's sake spare us all this endless horseshit of nonsense novelties.

    he had a long history of depression and was hospitalized for a bit because of it. he wrote a lot about depression and did it as well as anyone has. you can google "david foster wallace depression quotes" and get a lot of returns. it's a bummer because he was on meds that worked but they were older meds and had some side effects that can make parts of life difficult. he was married and wanted to start a family so after lot's of thought and discussion w/his doctors they switched his meds. the new meds didn't work well. and as happens sometimes when switching those kinds of meds.. you can't go back.. because sometimes the old meds won't work any more because the brain.. synapses do a thing where they close off to those particular chemicals and the receptors do no update. he tried to go back to the olds but no go. so, he hung in there as long as he could I guess and was still writing. one or two of his friends said he was writing to simply escape boredom. then at some point in 2008 he hung himself in his kitchen. his final totally unfinished novel was released after he died. kind of a mixed bag of brilliance and tedium and half baked stuff. but the brilliant parts are brilliant. but suicide and depression are deep in a lot of his work. he handles it amazingly well and makes ideas about it very relatable. but reading it all after he died felt more revealing to me. had a different feel of course.

    oof. send them a message and walk it back or tell them you just committed to something for a certain amount of time or whatever... it's a fine line of obvious bullshit vs. a convincing story.. but the other option is to fess up and tell them you spoke w/o thinking and are obligated to hold up your end for other clients. you never know.. they could say "Well, we're prepared to offer you $1 billion and a foosball table"

    classic prince story in case you've not seen it. here it is in 4 parts. there's a documentary about the "We are the world" recording and ho wit was organized etc. i guess lionel ritchie did the whole thing?? i haven't watched it but apparently it's full of gems about all the heavy hitters involved. lot's of hilarious stuff and awesome stuff. they recorded it around the grammy's because everyone was there for that so they made it happen after the grammy's at like 3am or something.. i'll have to watch it eventually. sounds like a laugh.

    cross posting this from the social media thread as there is some Ai relevance. a really good and a solid rant with receipts. bends towards what they're doing w/Ai and why etc. props to @iococoi for the link.

    saw him a couple times ages ago. both were good. he can put together a set for sure. once was early laptop days and his set kept crashing.. 1st time was when he toured w/MPC 3000 and a mixer.. that set was slamming. Royal Astronomy tour.

    i feel sad for the boc sub forum as they have nothing new to talk about it. some cringe inside the beltway forum memery

    just things and stuff. sooner or later all the bad things are going to line up and the rains won't come to save the day and well.. i don't want to think about a city of 22 million people running out of water. media usually makes these situations sound more shocking/dire than they are.. let's hope that's the case

    yeah.. maybe only people who have good taste should have access to the ai i kid.. but you made me lol.. Normies: "first they came for the autechre and i said nothing..." i still think it's shit that Ai is being focused on the arts instead of the boring jobs that people hate.. but i suspect it's all going to go bonkers everywhere.. Ai balls deep in every sector. teaching kids at home via some iPad Ai thing that has one biased view.. while another iPad Ai thing teaches other homeschooled kids a different set of biases. there's already some Ai based tools, machine learning tools for all kinds of sound sorting and sample sorting etc for producers.. and there's that thing you can buy that's a plug in that you run your half baked ideas through then apply a (insert producer) brain to and it comes out the other end sound like that person's laid hands on it. this whole line of thought makes me think about the happy accidents and imperfections/mistakes that people leave in their music. Ai looking backwards through the lens of musical history. .genre by genre is going to present us with some weird shit i think.. eventually. if someone smart does something with it that is.. i hope there's some pure geeks in the mix somewhere steering things away from pure commodification. "let's experiment" vs "let's monetize it". open source Ai. we'll see.

    sound quality pretty good. really hoping we get soundboards of some of these. just so good. epic stuff from the autechre.

    sounds like the rush in changeover from previous band included some fuck ups. i suspect there was some sample rate mismatch from the main clock that made it all twice speed. oops.

    i don't think so. i wouldn't even know how to look. it's all water under the bridge now though. i only got a few complaints the first time i took my stuff off streaming services and zero complaints more recently when i took my stuff down.
  24. ignatius
    i never got _any_ traction on streaming services. had stuff up since the beginning. so like 10 years or something.. made like $200. lol. and then took it all down. then tried again and got even less traction that the first time. bandcamp been decent though. it's not a service i've ever used other than netflix/youtube for video. never have i streamed a piece of music. shrug. some people do alright on streaming services though.. not many.. but some make a few dollars even with the shitty conditions and all the scams and shit. if i had ever made any real money from it i'd put my stuff on there and leave there but i don't see the purpose of it. a handful of listeners.. and spotify constantly mixing up my albums with artists or the same name etc.. and me having to tell them to fix it etc.. ugh. annoying. it is what it is.
