While we're on the topic of weird synth-y things. This gem of a concept/experimental pop record came out a couple of months ago. Can't get it out of my head, so I put it out here instead. blackdahlia.bandcamp.com/album/the-im...

Do yourself a favor and give Multiple Man a listen. Weird squelchy synths and chugging beats. All while sounding like it's performed in a big empty warehouse. Scratches the itch real good. multiple-man.bandcamp.com/album/new-me...

I will never understand what makes bands think that using AI slop as their backdrop during live shows is a good idea.

Heldigvis leverte både Schnodig og Strikkland til de grader.

Mørketid _og_ formdupp for favorittlaget samtidig er røfft for psyken. Heldigvis er det retro/dunkel/sint synthmusikk på en av de lokale scenene i kveld.

Author & Punisher, damn. That was like watching a warmech marching on a battlefield. Absolutely crushing live set.

Slides and code from my talk on pseudorandomness at #HelloStavanger can be found on github: github.com/mollerse/pse... You'll find a link there to the live slides, if you want to play around with the demos.

Min kollega Vilde og jeg skal ut på en liten konferanse-turné denne høsten. Andre stopp blir HelloStavanger ( @hellostavanger.no ) i Stavanger 22. - 23. oktober. Ta turen, få digg faglig påfyll.

Min kollega Vilde og jeg skal ut på en liten konferanse-turné denne høsten. Første stopp blir TDC (2025.trondheimdc.no) i Trondhjem 20. oktober. Stikk innom og si hei hvis du ser oss! (ps: det blir livepod med @kortslutning.fun på TDC, som en ekstra bonus)

I will never get tired of this song. promenadecinema.bandcamp.com/track/alone-...

I'm not usually a person who listens toa lot of ambient/experimental/noise, but lately I've been to a couple of shows that fit that bill. And I've really enjoyed those shows. There's something that comes through when performed, that recorded material just doesn't give me.

@derw-lang.com You wouldn't happen to have the numbers for this, would you? Be interesting to see the differences.

Sometime the big mainstream festival in my hometown (Øya) books something for their afterhours programme that really tickles my fancy. This year that was ULTRA SUNN. And wow did they deliver!

I remember doing a paper on Ozzy, and specifically this song, back in '02 when I was 13. Ozzy got me into metal and gave me a life-long love for music. RIP youtu.be/jxXTJyghWlg?...

Finding a local brewery's taproom, plopping down by a table with some refreshing liquid, and writing post cards. Easily one of the most enjoyable parts of any adventure.

It's the first day of summer vacation, it's also a friday. Seems a good a day as any to post some recommendations for fresh new music. (Just a fair warning, my tastes are a little all over the place.)

It's 7AM, so apologies to my neighbours. But I had to. 🥀

It's on days like these I notice how much of an impact football has on my well-being. Say what you will, but few things come close to watching your team take a victory from an, on paper, superior opponent.

No fomo here. None at all 🥲

Watched this video essay on science shows. Had never heard of Car Talk (probably because non-american), but that sounded like such a stellar show. Would have loved to listen to something like this growing up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J82N...

I just love it when I randomly stumble upon a track with the perfect bpm for the pace I'm moving at. Sometimes it's funeral doom, other times it's hardstyle. Either way, still love it.

Caught a Castle Rat show, and wow that was fun. It was pure 80s sword & sorcery camp, and I loved every second of it. The music was heavy and groovy, scratching that itch in way only only trad doom can.

Didn't know I needed a slowed down, thunderous doom metal cover of Britney's Toxic. But apparently I did. And it was glorious.

Tip for conference speakers: never apologise for your content being too hard or too easy or too weird or too boring or whatever. The audience came to your talk. Assume they’re interested and can take it.

I get all warm and fuzzy whenever I see concatenative programming show up at a conference. Even if it gets reduced to a meme about stack-fiddling, completely missing the properties that make them interesting. #ndcoslo

Thanks to @olafurw.com I finally got the origin story of Tungur Knivur. This song was a huge part of my university experience, and I never actually knew the origin of the phrase 😅 open.spotify.com/track/3Got6x...

Slides from my talk at #ndcoslo are up on mollerse.github.io/pseudorandom... The slides are interactive, if you want give the Unknown Pleasures-generator a whirl. You'll find the controls in the tweakpane up in the corner.

Har ikke SoMe-ansvarlig @mollerse.bsky.social posta her enda? Uansett, sett av kvelden, for @mib.im har fått muligheten til å prate om seg selv, og da blir det vanskelig å få han til å stoppe. Men forhåpentligvis noe interessant i arbeidshverdagen til Mikael og: shows.acast.com/kortslutning...

Went to a show on a whim today, following a rec from @idieyoudie.bsky.social . Glad I did. Madeline Goldstein were excellent. The addition of live guitars was a real nice touch. Darkwave with a heavy dose of dreamy pop and just enough EBM stomp to keep it interesting.

Wow. Violent Magic Orchestra were a total blast live. Absolutely bonkers. If you get the chance to catch them, do yourself a favor and go. Part black metal, part hardstyle, all chaotic trippy fun.

I dag er den ene halvdelen av Kortslutning, @mollerse.bsky.social, på @kode24.no-dagen for å prate om hva de driver med i NRK. Si hallois hvis du ser han!

If you enjoy proggy metal that doesn't get too much up in its own business, you should give Lowen a listen. I've not been able to get this out of my head for the past couple of days. It's short for a progmetal record, but to me that only makes it more impressive. lowen.bandcamp.com/album/do-not...

I will never tire of the version of «No Shuffle» from this show. The crowd participation towards the end is just icing on an already perfect cake. Happy 24.2!

I like it when songs that sound this good also come with a message. frontlineassembly.bandcamp.com/track/moloto...

It's friday. You should listen to Spark! and have a little dance. Or not, I'm not the boss of you. But I think you should.

I have feelings about AI & the web & my experience being trans "in tech" in 2025 - so I screamed some thoughts onto my personal web log. I hope for all of us a more queer & humane future. Keep building communities & dreaming better paths. https://www.miriamsuzanne.com/2025/02/12/tech-ai-wtf/

Got to see SRSQ today. That voice belongs on a much bigger stage, but I'm glad I got to see it on a small club stage.

God mandags ettermiddag! Vi har en fersk* episode ute, denne gangen med det noe kryptiske temaet «Erfaringsradar». Siden vi er en proffesjonell podcast er episodebeskrivelsen såklart top notch. kortslutning.fun/episodes/erf... *(10t er vel fortsatt ferskt?)

Went to see Chameleons today. Absolutely excellent show. It's so nice to see people who've had long careers still beam with joy when playing. Also, changing the lyrics of Mad Jack to reference a certain Orange Turnip was 🤌🤌

Me and my trusty MIDI-controller are making an appearance at NDC Oslo this year. We're doing a fun little exploration on the topic of pseudorandom noise. ndcoslo.com/agenda/light...

I was today years old when I learned of the link between Confusion by New Order and the opening scene of Blade.

I love that I can just hop on a train, chill for 30mins and be in a whole other city. A whole other city where an ambient noise show just so happened to be going down today.

Godt nytt år! Rykende fersk episode ute på kortslutning.fun/episodes/sel... (og alle andre steder du finner podcasts).

Our annual off-topic commentary podcast finds us discussing Iron Maiden's "Somewhere In Time". www.idieyoudie.com/2025/01/01/w...

Handwritten "thank you"-notes in packages always puts a smile on my face.

Tourism by walking around is quite nice.

It might be that I'm tipsy because "I skipped lunch and ate dinner way too early while on vacation and then went for beers", but I'm having a blast going through this list.
