Hey I have a shitload of codes left for my Winter's Eve single 'Arboretum of Solitude' so grab away... It's atmospheric piano-led Ambient with a Black Metal tinge. eveyweveydevey.bandcamp.com/yum vz87-el6t 6tzx-3e87 zuyp-h7bv m8yy-b35t 67fp-kyfk kldb-guv9 kpqm-bqzt z6rf-x9y7 zylx-etnv ntpj-ubq9

Fooling around with the MC-707 tonight. #musicsky #calvobianco

We've all been there... Lied to, lied about and taken for granted. This song is defiance... taking a stand... standing up for yourself, and refusing to be gaslit into silence. But you won't find it on #streaming. #art has value. kiffie.bandcamp.com/track/last-o...

Useful info for anyone who feels like they're seeing less and less content from people they follow. Note that these instructions will help you see more things posted by others. But if you want others to see more things posted by you, they'll need to change their own settings. Thanks @bsky.app 🙄

21st Century Phrenology being sold as actual science.

OH: if you take the $11/month that spotify costs and put it toward buying physical media (or DRM-free digital downloads, but make sure you have a backup strategy for them), you will eventually have a large collection that nobody can take away from you Credits: @ariadne.space

This. And when you're fucked off and in the sea: go fuck off some more.

It’s Bonfire Night so…here’s some Bandcamp codes. Yeah, that’ll do 3nh6-57kt 55q2-b5z7 g88d-xuyv jm26-jjq3 6rmk-ygys nxbt-7unl lev2-vvvj 48b5-k8ty lrtv-u7hg v5vj-ybez byav-7ly3 u2c9-5nzt mmju-bak7 n22s-j5f9 5mmp-y3ez tunn-cqeu tmam-xt2p xjau-vjmj shadowdancermusic.bandcamp.com/album/1999-u...

Another thing I love about the MC-707 is resampling. In this case I had the kick on a different track from the rest of the drums because I used the saturator aggressively. Now happy with the kick, I resample it and import to the drum kit. Gives me back a track (and makes drum scatter fx easier)

Nu volgen 2 hot takes waar jullie uit moeten kiezen. 1. De ook onder Nederlandse jonge middenkiezers populaire Zohran Mamdani huldigt standpunten die vrijwel rechtstreeks uit het verkiezingsprogramma van #GroenlinksPvdA komen. Ergo: de standpunten van GroenlinksPvdA zijn populair. 1/2

Reposting again for those in the back!

This is NOT normal. If you need banks, PE and government backing because investor money is drying up, you should go bankrupt. www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-ma...

Graspop Metal Meeting 2026 lineup is absolutely nuts. www.graspop.be/nl/line-up/p... I'm a techohead, but my son is a metalhead. Do I go for the full four days now? :P I guess this is your thing @florgoth.bsky.social ?

That’s rather unedifying

The industry’s obsession with developer productivity is meaningless. More code faster is greater productivity? More features? More Pull Requests? If Priti’s book has more chapters than Bill’s, is Priti a more productive author? codemanship.wordpress.com/2025/11/04/p...

Self Promo Monday. Struggling badly, on the verge of giving it all up. If anyone needs any design work done it would be appreciated. Design For Arts& Culture& Nightlife& More. My design work link can be found in bio Cheers ✊

When you dump out a puzzle box, and 2 pieces are already attached, do you break them apart or leave them together?

The importance of independent media: After the Dutch elections Wilders posted claims about potential election fraud. Even the biggest right wing newspaper told him to stop making 'Trumpian' (quote) claims and respect our democracy/state of law. Our media are not perfect, but no shitshow either.

Learning the Roland MC-707 Scatter function now. Way more powerful than I previously thought. It's basically a granular synthesizer that takes the MC-707 mix or individual track's output and uses a step or sequence as the grain. And it's sequencable, so each step can have different grains/fx.

Too soon? #xmasdecoration

Looks like the tagging/search has been fixed? #raveyardshift

With the lovely weather today, I took the convertible out for a spin with the oldest. Probably some music making tonight.

Go home Spotify, you’re drunk.

Great piece from Shannon, who has come to the very sensible conclusion that the very male-dominated discourse around AGI is basically conspiracy theories.

"Sustainable delivery feels calm, not frantic. Slow engineering produces fewer incidents, lower turnover, higher pride." A quite "anti-mainstream" take nowadays that I totally agree with (from my personal experience): "In Praise of Slow Software Engineering" russmiles.substack.com/p/in-praise-...

“Slow is not the opposite of fast. It is the opposite of careless.” is also a great quote…

With tagging/search having significant delays here at BlueSky, the For You feed by @spacecowboy17.bsky.social has been quite helpful. bsky.app/profile/did:... But ffs BlueSky, fix that. Search is useless right now for anything current.

Still looking for new music. Also looking for anyone who would like to do a show on Experimental or Electronic music or any genre you would like to cover. If you'd like to suggest a playlist or show you can email [email protected] If you have music see the post below. #musicsky #music

People often hate agile because what they've been told is agile and made to do is definitely not agile and absolutely something to hate However, there are people who hate true agile and I believe they hate it because test and learn repeatedly and quickly shows their idea was wrong

Going to give proper love to all the #raveyardshift posters when tagging/search has been fixed, but for now I will be singing off and go make some music. :)

Hey @pfrazee.com are you aware search is broken for some (all?) at the moment? E.g. searching for #raveyardshift only shows older content, with many folks now posting under that tag right now.

Just me, or is search/tagging completely messed up here on Bluesky at the moment?

So, last time I posted some Bonzai Records bangers for the #raveyardshift Gonna do some more of those this week. :) Kicking off mysteriously and moody, with Land Of The Rising Sun by Introspective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP_F...

Decided I will make two project templates for the MC-707. One for building full tracks and one for full live sets. You can set the color of the faders individually, so no need for labels if you can remember a color. ;)

Re: Streaming, game subscriptions, etc. What companies don't seem to realise is that people keep these things around, even when not using them a lot, *because* they are cheap. A 50% price increase makes many people cancel and take a month when they have a few things to watch, then cancel again.

Religie is als je geslachtsdeel, dat hang je ook niet uit je broek in het openbaar.

Anyone up on Samsung phones? Partner needs an upgrade and doesn't want anything other than what she's used to. So I'm looking for a Samsung phone at a reasonable price and need recommendations. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not quite sure yet if I’ll make tonight’s #raveyardshift but I’m lining up some bangers anyway. My bag of bangers is far from empty btw. 😎

Practicing a fill/transition. #mc707

I prefer the vampire from Sesame Street over Dracula anyway. Some say he doesn’t count, but I’m quite sure he does.

D66 boekt nu al een beter resultaat op remigratie dan het hele vorige kabinet

No MSFT, Google, etc. you are not increasing the price because of increased 'value'. *Customers* decide what's value, not you. If they're not using it, and/or don't want it, you're just offloading your bad investments. I was on a canceling spree already, just more to add to the pile I guess. :)

Wrote this over 2 years ago, remains as true today as it did then. What's changed: - LLMs have become more useful - It's clear we're reaching the limits of transformer-based AI archectures Path to AGI remains no more than theory.
