25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

Why are people saying "this is not normal" over and over again, instead of "this is illegal" or "this is unconstitutional" or "this is treason?" Not normal sounds subjective, wishy-washy and neurotic. It communicates nothing of substance.

Rest In Power ✊🏼

Did you know there was once a domestic cat constellation? 'Felis' was created by French astronomer Joseph Jérôme Lefrançois de Lalande in 1799, but the International Astronomical Union dumped Felis when they created their official constellation boundaries in 1930. www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...

New release! This set includes six piano impromptus that were one-takes and improvised while reflecting on characters from a current DnD campaign I am part of. Really, they are dedicated to the friends made during the campaign. On all streaming services! open.spotify.com/album/2JuPXz...

Whatever it is, this is my favourite sport.

When the debate about ChatGPT in education gets up and running, it’s often framed around “cheating” vs. “just a tool” while overlooking that: - it’s environmentally disastrous - it’s based on the theft of others’ work - it undermines learning (i.e., what you’re paying for)

Do consider submitting to Game Sound Con! Submissions are open until May 17 and this is an incredible event that I think every ludomusicologist should experience at least once! www.gamesoundcon.com/submissions?...

Besieged! Postcard from my collection, unsent, photo copyright 1902.

The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earth’s magnetic fields, defying the odds

I am literally just a chiptune

This is how I feel now. With all the bull shit going in the world.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Being serenaded by a MIDI pan-pipe rendition of David Guetta’s “Titanium” in the gym was not the most idyllic start to the week.

My week ahead

I’m making a public domain music history rpg called Bardcore. Hildegard & other marginalised composers take on canonical composers that encased your allies in crystals to draw their power (influence). Amazing arrangements by @georgeryr.bsky.social and Matthew Ferrandino, the Chiptune Necromancers.
