murmuration. more relaxed sounds: added formant-like bandpass sweeps to the natural harmonic string glissandi and reduced the overall random pitch shift to +/- an 1/8th tone for just a little microtonal juiciness. also the platform is sinking ...

hi, can you do me a favor? take a picture of your pet and then take a picture again while you sing to them thank you, this is for science here is my contribution

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help. We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party

How's everybody's 'Vembo going? I hope everyone had a good 'Tobe. Some people say the Deece is where it's at but for me it's all about the 'Vembo

want to feel old? the dvd (1986) is now as old as Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (731) was when the dvd was invented

doing all this directly in metasounds is deeply blursed, look at all those spaghetti string lights struggling to keep up

Thanks NPR Music

I've noticed more people getting these pedantic yet wrongheaded notions about polymeter vs. polyrhythm lately, where is this coming from? Is there a youtuber I can blame?

You wake up one morning and everyone reacts to you as if you are two feet to the left of where you really are

The most basic argument I can give you for ditching Spotify for *anything* is Spotify, uniquely, pays *nothing* for much of the music on the platform. Is there *any* improvement in paying for Spotify over pirating? You're a paper-thin moral slice away from buying music from a bootlegger. Why do it?

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

The health condition they're trying to hide is that the gold filigree is actually growing on his body, that's where it all comes from. It's a side effect of the necrosis from the interdimensional parasite that is trying to enter this world through him

Also worth noting that "well, I guess I just can't leave the country right now because the government's fucking with me" is a situation green card holders have been used for a long time—another demonstration any indiginity the government pushes on immigrants will eventually be turned on citizens too

Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*

Oh I didn't realize Bugonia was based on Save the Green Planet! I don't know if that makes me want to see it more or less

The awesome thing about having a stomach bug and a nasty cough at the same time is that the things that soothe your throat are exactly the things you're not supposed to eat

orange cats singlehandedly redeem masculinity

most relatable thing about Zohran is that Stereogum passed on writing about his music

bjarni.bandcamp.com/album/fracas sounds like the laundromat (complimentary) cyclical, motor-ish, yet organic some of the machines have unbalanced loads

A thing that I think is good is when a human creates a piece of art

Douglas Adams was a true visionary for realizing that if doors could talk, that would actually be really terrible.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.
