I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.

Also, I'm not making a page for it here but this week I've officially started a booking entity! If you make dungeon synth, dark ambient, or other electronic music that goes bump in the night, send an email to [email protected] if you wanna try playing a show in Pittsburgh :)

I really wish how-to guides weren't mostly video. just give me the text, please.

Say "Oh, yes please! Thank you, cutie!" to whimsy.

a little sprinkle of summer and I'm out here furiously snapping lone trees again.

Useful thing to use here

Ghost of an Idea: Hauntology, Folk Horror, and the Spectre of Nostalgia by William Burns The future ain’t what it used to be. The concept of nostalgia has seeped into almost all aspects of modern-day media, none more so than horror culture and its borderlands of Hauntology and Folk Horror.

some wisdom is timeless.

For folklore often holds the swan as the witches' bird. A deliverer of messages to our dead sisters. A wide-wing psychopomp that can fly between life and death. We make cloaks from its gifted feathers. We tell it our submerged secrets. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #FolkloreSunday

My relationship with making music has changed. For now, I'm putting all my projects to sleep, with no new music releases in the foreseeable future - aside from some existing commitments. Whether sleep becomes permanent is unclear. For now, thank you to everyone who was nice to me and my music.

"Take me seriously," he cried, stamping his little feet on the ground while tears streaked his hastily applied mime makeup. "Okay," whispers the world, "you got it buddy." The world patted him on the head gently while pulling the back of his undies higher and higher until the elastic snapped.

We're closing submissions on May 4th, so get in your pitches while you can!

You've probably been wondering: "How many eels is a cottage worth in 14th C. England?" This is a reasonable question. I get it. And happily, I'm here to help! I included a chart showing this kind of equivalence in an article I wrote for HistoryExtra , but here's an excerpt! 🗃️🧪

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

it seems I am a bit grumpy today.

another day, another reminder that just because someone broadly aligns with some or all of your values, doesn't mean they aren't awful people. you probably already know some or listen to their music. arseholes are arseholes.

Instant block. I do not want your theft-based, planet-killer writing hollowed of lived experience. Fuck off and keep on fucking off till the waves swallow you. AI always means Arseholes Involved. You will find nothing but derision and harsh curses for it in Hookland.

fourthpeak.bandcamp.com/album/greenp... A long time in the works, a split between myself as Greenhollow and Fourthpeak, whom you may know as Gray Friar, Magic Hilt, Forgotten Relic, etc. Very proud of these works and humbled to share space on this release with a friend. #music #synth

love the future where there's a cool ass moon mission and you see a cool ass picture of the moon and have to go comb through a few different nasa sites and their flickr to make sure it's a real image.. you have to act like a conspiracy theorist before believing/enjoying anything

it's really good and you need it.

IT’S HERE! Nature sprites, magical blooms, holy and unholy trees, wild men of the woods, numinous forests, dying-and-reviving deities. 👉🏼 Pre-orders for The Green Issue are now open worldwide! helleborezine.com/products/the-green-issue

It's worth remembering that not everyone who shares your values and ethics is a good person. Arseholes are everywhere.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Recently I have been writing music inspired by concepts of rural decay, loss of community, unforgiving environments, and how people turn to the uncanny, esoteric and supernatural in times of existential crisis. The music is at times comforting, communal, reverent, discordant, and inscrutable. 1/

Dear @aptshadow.bsky.social the latest book has me wondering if I am pronouncing "Portia" correctly. a "sh", or a "t", or a "ch"? is it "Porsha-Fabian" or "Port-ee-ah-Fabian"? or "Poor-cha-Fabian"? Or a secret fourth way? And I overthinking this? Please help. Sincerely, Human (lower case h)

as a lover of Ciani's music, this is very exciting news. I don't know what we did to deserve Ciani's return to music, but I hope we are still doing it.

available for pre-order - don't miss out, folks.
