New Music NEVER DID EXIST thanks @bytemapper.bsky.social for mastering again #drumandbass #jungle #breakcore open.spotify.com/album/0SkfHq...

Woke up this morning to find out I am taking a substantial paycut. As such, if you are in need of mixing and mastering for affordable rates, please contact me. Currently, I'm like $1800 a month short of where I should be just to keep my kids fed and the lights on.

Thinking back to my college bio teacher being presented with a packet of paper from a classmate refuting climate change, taking a single glance at the author, and telling my classmate to leave the lecture room. I only wish to channel that sort of energy in my 50s.

God help me, I'm debating scrapping work on my current EP's stereo masters to pursue Atmos

I've noticed this year that my enthusiasm for Halloween is nonexistent. My nightly viewing has gone from schlock horror films to lighthearted British comedy quiz shows.

Massive RIP to Patricia Routledge. I used to watch Keeping Up Appearances after school on PBS. The humor was lost on me as a kid, but her chops doing pratfalls were always appreciated. Anyways, the pilot is one of my favorites, if only for the phone conversations.

I've got ten bucks or so to spare on the Steam sale, recs are appreciated. I like giant robots, weeb shit, and esoteric roguelites. Bonus points if you can jam a little brutal violence in there.

Finding out they're animating arguably the most batshit Baki storyline for Netflix is certainly something. Baki Dou is a wild one.

The greatest, Michael Mann's Heat

The small fry free with purchase does help

Re-Animator From Beyond Society

Been almost a month since smashing my ring finger with the massive car door on my Ioniq 5. I can finally bend strings on the guitar without pain, so maybe next week

Fewer things spark joy like receiving a correspondence from an attorney about a complaint, contacting said attorney to verify your identity, and finding out that you are not the person they are looking for. The sense of relief is immense, would not recommend.

Finally aligned my workload to get an opportunity to write some new stuff on guitar. Naturally, while running errands two days ago, the heavy ass door on my car smashed half of my fretting hand. No broken bones, but pressing the strings is absolute hell.

Somehow, my most underrated gear purchase this year was simply upgrading to the full Soundtoys collection during their last little promo.

Devastated to hear about Brent Hinds’ death

Seeing Josh Homme featured on Theo Von’s podcast once again solidifies that Matt Pike somehow was the most credible dude to run a fuzz pedal in the stoner metal scene

Gonna need plugin companies to stop acting like mixing without soloing is like some revolutionary concept

In a rental car at the moment, while my car is in the body shop getting some paint touch-ups. Having driven an electric car for the last 4 years, I had to call the rental place 3 times to ask if the rumbling and sputtering was normal. I was told, yes, this was normal for a new Chevrolet.

Against all odds, I'm somehow working on another EP after pulling ten-hour days at my day job

Man, fuck this heatwave

Massive RIP to Ozzy, Black Sabbath's early run was crucial to my tastes as a teen. Glad he got to go out with one final tour under his belt.

Y'all know what's wild HATE might reach 10k plays on Spotify soon That'll be a huge achievement :3 I've never had anything happen to a project I've done before Thank you all 💖 And especially thanks to @pankoniko.bsky.social for the art and @bytemapper.bsky.social for mastering

Feeling particularly ancient after receiving some surprise headline that the Majin Vegeta and Goku fight from Dragon Ball Z turns 31 today.

Granblue Fantasy Relink is the most anime game I've played in ages, and it's simply a delight. Non-stop shonen level end of arc fights, a lovable old man that is actually younger than me, and the most vanilla protag in existence. 11/10 would recommend

Bro, my potatoes are almost ready this week from the garden. I've stalled on harvesting the new potatoes to get some proper roasting lads. Coupled with some garlic scapes and Jerusalem walking onions, and I'll be eating good.

All my preconceived notions about the JV-1080 were correct, and that's a wonderful thing, I won't lie. I love that certain pads just make you think you're about to play the dopest fight in Breath of Fire 3 or something.

Any Southern folks see the meteor in the sky? Scared the hell out of me getting the mail earlier

Why tho

Boy howdy, I disconnect from the news cycle and get in for a real shock every weekend, lemme tell ya.

Real talk, 5-pin MIDI DIN is the shit. Just one single way to connect the thing, clearly labeled, easy as can be to just unplug and swap to a different device.

Anyone got any suggestions for a Mac-compatible editor for the JV-1080? My eyes are getting too old to look at a digital display from 1994 like this.

I need VST developers to stop marketing things based solely on how grungy and digital they sound. Hell, for the same price I can just buy an old rompler and get authenticity.

The older I get, the more I understand the appeal of pentatonic runs

Gonna disconnect from the news just for today and Friday so I can celebrate my birthday, and my wife's. Back to gnashing my teeth every time I doomscroll on the weekend.

Easy, Aliens

If you ever need to experience what drugs feel like without pissing hot for a potential employer, by all means go through most of Baki the Grappler and its sequel series. What an absolute fever dream of a battle manga.

BYTEMAPPER//HELIOS.III is an animated exploration of an audio-reactive, retro-inspired environment set to the music of ByteMapper (@bytemapper.bsky.social) youtu.be/hN-hb4IYDhg

I know the modern era is all about that digital shininess and clean sound. I get this big dumb smile on my face anytime I hear stuff coming back from my Portastudio tho. Thing is just mojo with a power cord.

Peep my wife’s hydrangea tho

Subterranean Homesick Alien

A week or two in now with this obtuse Roland D-110, and I think I've finally figured out how it works. The manual is one of the most confusing documents I've read, but that's all good. It's got a vibe for sure.

Sicckkkkkk

Living for the era of cheap rack gear. I might not ever afford the likes of a MKS-80, but by golly I can snag a D-110 for less than the cost of a decent fuzz pedal.

Dropping a new song tomorrow

My new hyperfixation is just going to be Talking Heads

Thank you to everyone who came to the premiere of “My Enemy” I hope you all enjoyed the maxi-single and the video! 📺 youtu.be/UxTyhZbMt5w?... 🎧 bfan.link/MyEnemy
