Really nice design, sounds really cool!
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 ...

It's easy to get annoyed at people who are all like "do you know who I am?" but you should be nice just in case they're masking for amnesia and are hoping you know.

When discussing last night’s power outages and the outage map, my phone auto completed it as “outrage map” and I think that’s beautiful.

After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs.

I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild.

RTs appreciated 🙏

I used to make yearly donations to Wikimedia Foundation, but after talking to several friends in the nonprofit space, I've switched to recurring monthly donations instead. The predictable income stream helps them plan for the future. Throwing it out there for ppl looking for the best way to support
