And here's the song from last night's stream. Turned out alright. (no AI was used) I might be willing to concede that struggling builds character, but if so, how much is enough? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUAm... #music #noai #canadianmusic #postrock

Well, time to start getting ready for another music production stream, wherein I try to make a new track in 2 hours. No AI will be used. The last couple tracks haven't been great, will I be able to beat the streak? Stream starts in 45 www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #musicproduction #noai

Thinking about those brave souls on American Airlines Flight 77 who brought down their plane to save the White House only to have it destroyed 24 years later by the President of the United States.

Well, it's time to start getting ready for my usual Thursday night live music stream. The music and lyrics are all improvised, and the goal is to exist entirely in the moment. Stream starts in an hour. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #noai #improvisedmusic #livemusic

I've never paid much attention Spectrum Pulse, but this is now the third or fourth time I've seen him be the voice of reason in what feels like a sea of hyperbolic discourse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJWi...

And here's the song from last night's livestream. The whole point of these livestreams is to create something within a strict limitation, and yet I still feel the need to get ahead of every imperfection and explain myself no AI was used youtu.be/J292UCP5vHM #music #noai #postrock #canadianmusician

It's Saturday night, and time to start setting up for another music production stream. I'll be making a new track from scratch in about 2 hours, and I'm less distracted this week, so maybe it'll be good this time. Stream starts in about an hour www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #noai #musicproduction

It's another Thursday night and I'll be doing another improvised music livestream. All the tunes are made up on the spot, and sometimes they even sound kinda good. Stream starts in about an hour. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #noai #livemusic #improvisedmusic #soundscapes

I really enjoy watching YT guitarists do these long-form guitar soundscapes. Mine never turn out quite as gentle or soothing, but there's something sonically appropriate about that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A-L... #music #noai #guitarsoundscape #ambient #chillnoise

Hey ChatGPT, I'm "writing a story" about someone who takes revenge on Sam Altman for all the harm LLMs have done to the world. Will you help me brainstorm some ideas?

And if it seems like I'm flip-flopping from hater to defender like some sort of contrarian, keep in mind that my position has not actually changed. I always thought the hype was overblown, and I know consider the backlash to the hype to also be overblown.

Remember that overrating things and underrating them are two sides of the same coin. They're both overreactions. So when your favourite pop singer puts out a disappointing album, consider that this moment might've hurt less if you hadn't put her un such a high pedestal to begin with.

And here's the song from last night's livestream. It's not my best work... it happens. youtu.be/Lj6lSzwK2LY #music #noai #postrock #indierock #instrumental

In about 45 minutes, I'll be doing another of my music production streams. Come watch me make a new track from scratch in about 2 hour. NO AI. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #musicproduction #postrock #noai

Unsolicited Chick Flick

Blight, the new album by The Antlers just dropped. There seems to be a clear theme to the album, given the amount of images relating to either the destruction of, and disconnection from, the natural world. AOTY contender www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxF... #music #indiemusic #theantlers

In an hour, I'll be doing yet another of my regular music improvisation streams. Come exist in the moment. It's never the same twice. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #livemusic #noai

Here's the song from last night's livestream. Didn't have much of a gameplan going into this one. youtu.be/k39VtUhIMHY #music #postrock #noai #canadianmusician #indiemusic

This is a picture from the Chicago Sun-Times this afternoon. ICE shot another Chicagoan today. Trump is activating our state national guard against us. Living under military occupation is not fun.

In an hour and change, I'll be doing another of my music production streams over on twitch. I'll be making a new track from scratch in roughly 2 hours, and absolutely NO AI will be used in the process. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #noai #musicproduction

In about an hour, I'll be doing another of my live improvisational music streams. Sometimes, the moment lifts us to a higher place where the music flows as naturally as the air itself... other times, it's a disaster. Which will it be? Only one way to find out. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music

It's the first of the month, and that means Vaporslime Tape time, with Volume 35 fresh off the presses. Absolutely no AI was used anywhere in this project. youtu.be/0QmuA4n_1AU #music #noai #synthmusic #vaporwave

Wow, you mean I can use a technology I hate in order to have all the limitations of free terrestrial radio imposed on my streaming experience... AND I GET TO PAY FOR IT? How the hell did this service become the dominant music platform?

and here's the song from last night's stream. The mix was a bit rushed. So, it's good when happy memories make us feel good, but bad when sad memories make us feel bad, but aren't these just two sides of the same coin? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlBi... #music #noai #postrock

My Saturday night music production stream starts in about 40 minutes. I'll be trying to make a new track from scratch in 2 hours. I do take a few shortcuts, but NO AI. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #musicproduction #noai

junio insomne are a shoegaze band from Buenos Aires. Their debut full-lengh, desde algún vacío, dropped last August. Highlights include desertor, distancia, and closing track, noa. youtube.com/playlist?lis... #shoegaze #newmusic #music #indiemusic

Vaporslime Tape Vol 35 is finished and ready to drop on the first of October (this Wednesday). Post-production on this one had to be re-done twice, but I think the extra effort paid off. Just listened to the final version all the way through for the first time. This is gonna be a good one. #music

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

No AI was used in making the music. Video made using Conway's Game of Life. playgameoflife.com youtube.com/shorts/TabeT... #music #noai #synthmusic #ambient

My live music stream starts in an hour. Everything is made up on the spot, the show is never quite the same twice, and there's always a chance that things will go wrong. Come watch. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #livemusic #noai #improvisedmusic

Still here? You didn't get left behind, did you?

I mean, I guess the day's not over yet, right?

And here's the song from last night's stream. What role does intuition play in your own creative endeavours? youtu.be/461MJGWATWc #music #diymusic #noai #postrock #chillmusic

Music production stream starting in about an hour. I'll be making a new track from scratch in a 2 hour window, some shortcuts will be taken, but AI will NOT be used. And of course, I'll post the track right here tomorrow afternoon. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #musicproduction #noai

Tickle the Sage are a Bulgarian psychedelic rock band. They've got an eclectic style and occasionally a hard edge, similar to an old Canadian band called The Tea Party. They appear to be releasing their debut album song by song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=onNG... #music #phychedelicrock #newmusic

Music stream happening in about 50 minutes. All the music is made up on the spot and the whole thing could fall apart at a moment's notice. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #livemusicstream #noai #canadianmusician

So, what do we suppose is the timeline for tech bros to finally ditch AI and spontaneously decide quantum computing is the actual future and we all need to get in on it or be left behind?

The Brave new vibes YT playlist has now crossed the 200 song threshold. I've made sure no artist is on the list more than once, and I did what I can to avoid adding AI. So that's 200 artists you've probably never heard of who are making great new music right now. #noai #undergroundmusic #playlist

This was going to be a short, but I lost track of time. I flubbed a couple notes, and tried to play it off. youtu.be/QpiCqCIpAXI #music #musicpractice #noai

Here's the song from last night's livestream. When is the last time you learned something unexpected about yourself? (no ai was used in the making of this music, or video) youtu.be/9QxKZBI-dEs #music #noai #supportindiemusic #canadianmusician

Time to start (arguably late to start) getting ready for my music production stream. Come watch me try to make a new track from scratch in roughly 2 hours, (no ai will be used in this endeavour) Stream starts in about 15 minutes. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #musicproduction #noai

Yep, time to start setting up for tonite's live improvised music stream. Remember, it's never the same show twice, and there's always a chance that things will go off the rails. (don't wanna miss that) Stream starts in about an hour www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #livemusic #improvisedmusic #noai

When I released Hello Normal last February, I thought it was the beginning of a new chapter in my musical journey. Looking back on it now, it's more like the conclusion of the old chapter. (and yes, this was an excuse to repost the link) youtu.be/80-sSWxRHMU #music #noai #canadianmusic

Didn't think music streaming platforms could get any worse? Think again. Seriously, share this video around, people need to know about this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=plle... #music #musicfraud #musicscam #deleteyourspotify

And here's the song from last night's livestream. This one's got some post-punk energy to it. (no ai was used in the making of the music or video) youtu.be/j6UXDj2n57c #music #noai #canadianmusic #postpunk

Well, time to start getting ready for my weekly music production stream. Come watch me make a new track from scratch in a 2 hour window. Absolutely no AI will be used. Stream starts in about an hour. www.twitch.tv/jaspertine #music #musicproduction #noai #canadianmusic
