youtu.be/ksdSIBBGtnI learned this morning of this beautiful piece by a teenage benjamin britten. hmmmm I've had the modernist chamber music itch lately, maybe after the idm binge is done it's time to go back to my roots

bears repeating: this game is so so cool and pretty, the new story being added here is pretty unique and moving, and the new version will have a few remixes by me!! don't miss it

it's not bandcamp friday

new jaxcheese comp !! jaxcheese.bandcamp.com/album/select... it felt like time... I've been accumulating tracks a little slower since #9 but I think a lot of these are heavy hitters. some exciting new experiments and plenty of my favorite old sounds. thank you for listening <3

with as often as this gets posted it kinda feels like leaving money on the table that no one has released a chiptune album titled "the crap sound of 8-bit"

think this book just gaslit me with deliberately unclear kerning. insane tech!

the orchestra is doing copland no.3 this week. never really felt spoken to by this stuff, appalachian spring, etc... what happened to this copland youtu.be/hdHkKTcgfNA

my dear friend @michaelwithana.bsky.social and I put together a bespoke 9-piece "rouge stage music from sonic adventure 2" cover band for this very special occasion. I'm working on the arrangements and I'll be playing drums. this will probably only happen once ever! not to be missed! I'm so excited

I made a "real book" with transcriptions of 15 handpicked vgm obscurities to bring to my local vgm jam sesh!! download JAX's DEEP JAMS at jaxcheese.net/sheets feat. tunes from MARIO ARTIST TALENT STUDIO, LEADING COMPANY, SNOOPY CONCERT, SORA NO FUDOUSAN, IHATOVO MONOGATARI, and more...

so thrilled to be on a tracklist here with *literally shogo sakai* as well as a bunch of chiptuners I admire. the album's going to be really great and unique from what I've heard, please check it out!! I think this is also the first time ever you can buy a cd with jaxcheese music on it, wow

this wkd: played loud brass music in the street. tonite: went to brutalist city hall to see some v placid, oblique experimental silent film. lot of ppl on this part of the net have been saying our Radical Resistance Art needs to be loud+horny but I wonder if there's still a place for the dry+subtle

it's bandcamp friday!

new update to the meta. I knew of "brava" for a woman soloist before, but just now I worked on a tape where a guy called out "bravi" after the dittersdorf viola&bass concertante. apparently that's the right form for groups. so it's about more than just reaction time, you need to know the vocabulary

final goodbye to my home of ~20 months. like me, it was sometimes warm and loud and sometimes cold and quiet, it contained many mysteries, and it occasionally smelled a little funny

you used to be able to call things "rayxanber iii"

'Gunstar Heroes' was released on the SEGA Mega Drive 32 years ago today in Japan.

my ongoing galaxy brain take on this sort of dilemma is still that you absolutely should buy games that you don't like and which are terrible for you and you can't finish. I do this all the time and it's much more horrible and meaningful than "enjoying a game," gross

I wrote and sang a song for the new 10th anniv @staffcirc.bsky.social album!!! it was an honor to celebrate this special occasion with a bunch of musicians I have admired for years... I'm pretty new to this kind of songwriting so you will have to forgive the rough edges (but I plan to do more soon!)

tried listening to aphex twin "selected ambient works" for the first time yesterday and youtube somehow started playing vol 2 at the same time in the same tab and I didn't realize for like 20 minutes. it was kinda hip actually. "wow the asynchronous rhythms seem way ahead of his time" etc

it's Bandcamp Friday! one of the only big events that celebrates paying artists kindly :') check out my... - NEW album of emotional FM chiptune post-rock - electroacoustic glitch album with friends - experimental SNES chiptune album my car broke down recently so help is extra appreciated this time

it's bandcamp friday

someone should do a youtube video essay in the style of those glenn gould radio docs. "the monstrous avarice of wario land shake it" but there's an old woman musing on the psychology of greed in your left ear and a young businessman explaining the hardware inside the wiimote in your right ear

why did they teach us to start every letter with "dear [name]," not doin that unless the person is actually dear to me, which is a pretty serious thing. I think you have to try to be honest about it

men only want one thing

Save the date! STAFFcirc's 10th anniversary album drops on August 31st. Attend the premiere at 11am PT / 2pm ET via www.youtube.com/@staffcirc

in baltimore. bought a slightly busted copy of MOONLIGHT SYNDROME for $20. going to play the congas for ~35 minutes at "bit gen gamer fest" later. coincidence???

guy who learned about "delulu" and now thinks labubu is short for laborious: "that sounds pretty labubu man"

thinking about this again bc I just heard two guys do it perfectly in sync while processing an old pops tape. seems like the viable window is about 0.8s and the optimal pronunciation takes about 0.5s. not quite frame perfect but still challenging, these guys must practice to live recordings at home

it's "rockport chamber music festival" season. it's "weave your car through beautiful rich people for half an hour trying to park" season

today the guy on my commute who grumbles about "fauci fanatics" when he sees me wearing a mask tried singing himself a little jingle about it instead! I hope finding a creative outlet brings him some peace

been "entertaining unrealistic fantasies" lately, you guys ever try this. it's kinda nuts. I'm trying to figure out if there are any drawbacks
