The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

grok can't get better at writing and work. its usefulness depends on euphemistic substitutions, vague noun modifiers, and moral equivalence. it has to bookend every graf with interpretive scaffolding & nominalize & launder & drift pronouns or it can't produce. it doesn't actually know anything.

Feeling nostalgia for literally like five months ago when we dropped the Deltarune Piano Collections, Vol. 1. This was the first arrangement I wrote for it, over a year before we actually decided firmly to make the album happen, and it's still maybe my favorite! youtu.be/b1fcz31OCjw

you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group

Periodic reminder that Materia has a firm anti-AI policy. If you decide to upload songs from our catalog to genAI platforms to create ai cover songs, I strongly recommend an expensive IP attorney on retainer, E&O insurance, license insurance, and residence in country without extradition treaty.

Thanks all for a phenomenal year! Grateful for team Materia and the hundreds of artists trusting us with soundtracks, lofi, sheet music, covers, remixes, publishing, classical arrangements, and more. I'm thrilled for what's ahead in 2026.
