Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Soon we'll be drafting November's issue of Chiptune Monthly! Last call for submissions! If you have a chiptune album you've released recently, or have an upcoming chiptune show, please tell us about it! Link to submission form here: chiptunemonthly.carrd.co

happy to finally announce that i will be the in-house composer and sound designer for the office of Mayor of NYC i will craft a new sonic identity for the city with 12 bassoons and 125 layered samples of Goofy saying "gawrsh"

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Hi I wrote a big long post about deciding to step back from full-time freelancing and separate myself from the industry somewhat 😮‍💨

New awareness campaign

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE. A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force. But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

can businesses doing promotional partnerships stop calling them "collabs". you can't have that word

our halloween album premiers this sunday oct. 26th at 4pm EST! we worked so hard to make the video for this album special (shout out to @adibabidan.bsky.social for editing!) so i hope you can make it to the youtube premier! www.youtube.com/@cloudcrewco...

does anybody else's cat go extra zoomy/active/crazy on rainy days. I feel like this is the opposite of how it should work, but my cat has been this way her entire life. it's really quite noticeable!

I mastered this whole album and y'all are in for a treat of diverse autumnal and spooky tunes. it's got funk, evil beats, chiptune love songs, contemporary chamber music, digicore, pop and more! you'd never believe it was all written in one weekend.

It's pretty grim how succeeding online after the TikTokification of everything is about throwing spaghetti until the computer favors you once and then getting imprisoned by that gimmick forever as you scrounge for ways to increase the ante

writing new music :>

fall is the best season here. one billion trees turning beautiful colors. giant pumpkin weigh-off and water race. everyone wearing full force autumnal fashion. lattes, books, ciders. burning a candle themed after the city. making food with squash and pumpkin in it every week. I'm in my element

surely this couldn't be the fault of algorithms that are designed to pipe you the most inoffensive(-to-you) music as they can so that you will spend as much time on their platforms as possible. surely

wow Past Future Present Memory so pretty wowow Elemental Fusion so electroacoustical wowowow Distant Islands so super nintendo wow!!!!! music

it's bandcamp friday. the homie has new music out for bandcamp friday. it's bandcamp friday. supporting artists directly is one of the absolute best answers we have to the monolith of corporate streaming culture. buy music and merch from artists and scenes you love

today I found a photo from 2014 when I had first got my cat and she was very smol, please enjoy it

bsky hammering home the reality that cohost shut down a year ago huh. here's a blog i wrote about that a few weeks after the fact blog.aurahack.jp/eephusmmo/ some kinda (awful) poetry in this site's CEO effectively asking you to 'drive two towns over' if you don't like it here

I got the jackets in for the vinyl of Past Future Present Memory, my new album!!! they turned out so crisp and bright. (artwork + design by the inimitable @aurahack.ca !) I'm really excited for this to come together - the records themselves are still in production but the test press sounded great 🙌

memes and trolling are dead. we have to do and say interesting things now

it’s by Robert Cure of The Smiths

reading Mood Machine, a recent book of music journalism about Spotify, and it definitely cuts deep so far this gives me the grim impression that unless you make music that's comfortable for background/passive "listening", it's not worth having your stuff up on their service. your goals do not align

have YOU ever wanted to make SNES music? songs that could play on a real console?? well guess what - you can!! and you can even do it from the comfort of your favorite DAW. version 2.0 of my SNES Chiptune Guide is out now, updated and fully overhauled on its own website: samplemance.rs/snesguide/

there's something very funny to me about looking up a spice/herb grinder to buy and actually meaning it for that purpose

I found the animal crossing perfect orange at the store. with the little bump at the top. it's called a dekopon. it is the best orange I have ever eaten. I can understand how its transcendent sweetness allowed it to become the face of the animal crossing perfect orange

what's wrong babe you've barely touched your arbitrary frequency chocolate

it really is time for us all to shift more of our time and energy into hanging out irl – or, at the very least, in smaller, focused communities of friends online social media in its current form causes so much psychic damage, it’s time to let it wither away and die

yes, plex, that is exactly what we're watching

I missed @bandcamp.com Friday, but I will always rep for @infloresce.com infloresce.bandcamp.com @samplemance.rs's Past Future Present Memory has been especially fun recently: h-v-b.bandcamp.com/album/past-f...

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!)

still thinking about this honestly

massive shouts out to all the album buyers still out there in the world
