Taking a down day to catch up on socials after a week well-spent at #ColdWaves XIII in Chicago last weekend. Always a blast to hang out with the rivetingmusic.rocks hooligans. Met loads of cool people, did a bit of day-drinking, and even released a new track while there. Can't wait for next year!

Come join our community of creatives! I’ve always been big on collaboration and this new chapter is very exciting. :)

In these trying times, we each must become "plumber vengeur" in our own way. -Note: if you've not yet seen the film Brazil, you should do that right now. Call in sick if you have to. -MGMT

After more than a year of moving in the shadows following the 2024 release of ExoAnthro (EP), new Solid-State Sunlight music is on its way! Tracks are ready to roll, queued up for three separate releases coming soon! Volume control, please stand by.

Enjoying peak high-country hiking season! Escaped the studio and explored this lake full of salamanders. As usual: #bluesky, here's some blue sky

Been heads-down for a hot minute working on new music, so getting out for some fresh air was long overdue. #bluesky here's some blue sky.

The new Bow Ever Down single, "Complete", is available now on Bandcamp! boweverdown.bandcamp.com/track/complete

It's May 2nd, and #BandcampFriday. Take a sec to check out some artists you've never heard and snag a couple fresh tunes. solid-statesunlight.bandcamp.com We're coming up on the first anniversary of debut EP, ExoAnthro! Its tales of a crumbling beige timeline almost seem aspirational lately. 😅

New mug from @eff.org has arrived! Lady Lock is going to be helping me track some bass guitar on the new song today. #musicsky #synthsky Need mug? shop.eff.org/products/hea...

Am I dreaming, or did Bethesda just re-release horse armor (Oblivion) for $10 this morning? Inflation, I guess? 😂 Brace yourself, the memes are coming... store.steampowered.com/app/3533970/...

This morning I prompted a local StableDiffusion instance with some of my favorite poetry fragments. It's wild to observe how this machine interprets the abstract... and how real humans can experience real feelings while witnessing math hallucinate.

I like to think I've become a lot more dedicated to making music these past few years. Submitted in support of this statement: - "Make guitar heavier" (note I wrote myself several years ago) - "Add filter movement to synthbass to reduce unison-collision tempo drift" (note from last night) 🙃

Note to self: not everything is a traumatic emergency. We are capable of high-fidelity response. Strive to increase bit-depth. 1 = Everything urgent. There is no future 2 = Urgent, Standard 3 = Urgent, Medium, Low n+1 = Additional states lead to increased stability (self: let's do this one)

Finally! Back on the mountain again after getting delayed by some medical stuff. It was wicked cold, bright, and wind-burned my windpipe (oh the irony). BlueSky, here's some creepy-blue sky:

Gentle reminder: Texla vehicles are packed with cameras that record video footage at all times. I, personally, do not support destruction of private property, but if you insist, cover your face or you'll be easy to ID.

Stopped by the local library this morning. In a world where a stranger in the cloud can remotely revoke a book, it felt important to reconnect with the physical.

Gamer crew: I stopped by MicroCenter earlier today since it's been reported that AMD RX 9070XT stock was plentiful. They were sold out. Employee said they had *several hundred* cards in their store alone. All gone. Bummed I didn't snag one, but it's great news for Team Red! 🤘

Recovering from a facial/scalp surgery is wild. Our nerves' ability to heal is incredible, but oh so many zaps.. shocks... zing-zing.. zipppity-whoop!

Snagged a new SM58 mic today. At the register the salesperson smiled, sighed and asked if I wanted the protection plan. 😄 Is there any task more absurd than offering insurance on an SM58? (They can be used as a hammer in a pinch, and have cost the same $100 forever.. like the Costco hotdog of mics)

Too windy to tackle the high road, so took the low road. Still below-zero windchill, but so nice to get out for a stretch. Here is the requisite (partially)blue sky..

Today's hypothesis: The frenzy du jour, whatever it happens to be, is hand-crafted to distract from DOGE wiring America's deepest datafeeds up to their AI of choice. If you're a competitor in the race to AGI / ASI it'd be supremely advantageous to have an infinite firehose of real world data.

Made it up the mountain today, tromped through some snow. My route led through some interesting trees. Once again BlueSky, here's some blue sky. 😎❄️

Hot take: I appreciate the clever, disruptive nature of DeepSeek R1's training, but did the market just voluntarily scrub billions from the economy because of an unverified "it cost $6M, trust me bro"? Can we get a price check on this, Bob?

Just had a discussion with my local AI about the enshittification of the internet. The irony is not lost. I will say... the machines are pretty dang optimistic.

Spent most of today getting an instance of StableDiffusion running locally. The AMD card made things extra spicy to set up (vs team green), but now I have unlimited access to cute neon cybercat images! Mission Accomplished.

Containerized tabs in Firefox!?.. How did I sleep through this? Hang on, I just need to completely reorganize my browsing battlestation. one sec

Anybody want to help test a new custom feed? Check out 'Mordor QA Dept' in the Feeds catalog. It's only set up to collect Industrial Music at the moment. Will expand further if it works well.

Today's hike was cold and bright. Less glamorous views at lower elevation, yet some interesting waterline textures and, as always, the blue blue sky

Wholesome update: Enjoying winter break with my spouse before the next semester of grad school spins up. During which, nothing says "I love you" quite like updating a kitchen appliance. Mmhmm

Last night at a holiday party I was asked why I make music. A simple question with a oodles of too-long answers. Ultimately I settled on Peter Gabriel's "Love to be Loved". That track explains in 5 minutes what I struggle to express in 20.

What a year for Solid-State Sunlight! 2024 saw the release of the debut EP. Seems trivial now, but felt insurmountable at the time. Back in the studio creating some fresh grumbles. 🎧 Thanks to all of you who listen, follow, and support this DIY project. I couldn’t do all of this without all of you.

Needed to replace my snow tires so I got these. Barely clears the front suspension knuckle. Super ridiculous, but I kinda dig 'em. 😆 Mad Max mode: Engaged

Regarding mysterious drones hovering about: We could set up a crowdfund to compensate a couple college students (on winter break) to follow a drone until it need to recharge, then either swiping it or documenting the hell out of whoever's waiting at the landing area. Any bored NJ students on here? 😄

My recommendation for op-ed columnists struggling to grasp the mixed response to the UHC CEO killing: Go watch Natural Born Killers right now. www.imdb.com/title/tt0110... Seriously, the USA has had an exquisitely-documented "hot murderer" kink for a long time.

Stoked to get back into the studio today. Synth has been tweaked and is grumbling spectacularly again. Gives ya the jibblies!

Grrr.. struggling to get the analog synth to grumble the way I wanted. Had to walk away, so I made pao de queijo instead. What a tasty trade!

Given the political detour, are any Tesla owners considering replacing your cars soon? If so, what tickles your fancy?

In a world where we receive a parade of "woopsie, massive data breach" notifications it feels mighty weird to celebrate our Spotify Wrapped lists... these expressions representing how thoroughly an AI has mapped our musical/emotional patterns. At least my Terminator might appreciate Love & Rockets?

Officially a BlueSky resident now that I'm repping Bandcamp Friday on here? You be the judge. Let's light this candle.. solid-statesunlight.bandcamp.com An entirely DIY project (writing, recording, fixing the leaky faucet), it's about learning all the things & making crunchy music along the way.

Some days I'm a hiker, other days a musician, most days a gamer. Yesterday I was a plumber. Got the job done, yes, but definitely 2-stars. Would not recommend, would not make Angie's List. lol

Question for my music-producer cohort: Any tips or tricks you'd be willing to share wrt managing the untamed maelstrom of VST plugin licensing? Its jumbled ecosystem of phone-home launchers, wrapper apps, and walled-garden storefronts has always given me "first semester malware" vibes. /shudder

Spent some time on the mountain today. There was enough snow in the high country to finally break out the snowshoes. BlueSky, here's some blue sky.
