The currency of the future will be 'realness' and authenticity. The moronic average and below will slurp up AI gen music, content, video etc. but what will be valuable will be what's actual, or real.

New tracks coming out my Deep Space Temple studio this summer, and an older one that's working right now (Belgian N25s) I thought I would put them in a combined playlist called Knu Tstuf. #technosky #indiemusic #electronic

I used to think every song needed to be an epic 9 minutes for a 'serious' experience. But I've learned from Lorn and Boards Of Canada that it's possible create something interesting, or beautiful... or sad... even if it's shorter.
With that in mind, take a quick listen to Sajjittar!

It's 1000% nostalgia goggles, but I'd do anything to be 11 year old me again watching Robotech eating cereal on floor of the living room.
It's easy to be SUPER sniffy about Robotech now. But if you were growing up in small-town UK, with four channels, and very generic kids TV...
then IMAGINE what it was like seeing something like Robotech for the first time.
I owe my love of anime to Robotech lighting the spark.

Demiurgent - heavy groovy experimental percussion thing. Makes liberal use of a thing called Battalion from Unfiltered Audio. I'm really getting into their tools, I also love the BYOME (bring your own multi-effect) plugin they make. #musicsky #techno #indie

Feels really great to be finally getting a divorce from Google. They yanked all of my "bonus" Drive space last week and instead of paying their extortion, I'm simply ending my use of Google Drive. The trick is going to be getting off of Gmail; there's so much history, can't lose all of that.

And I have zero idea why anybody would cast Jacob Elordi as James fkn Bond in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming film. There is nothing 007 about him. Who dreams this shit up? Is this Denis' first pick? If so, I'll be forced to trust him, he got Timothée Chalamet right for Dune I suppose, loved that.

After working these tracks for most of 2024 I'm finally ready to fully release them. Bandcamp is the best place to support independent artists like me (but Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube streaming too).

This album is incredibly close to being ready. Some of the demo mixdowns and previews have been posted here, but the mastered album versions are tighter and generally better. Releasing independently on Bandcamp (also available for streaming on: Apple Music and YouTube Music) this MONTH!

If you have to be told that "you're in charge, not him" it means you definitely are NOT in charge. And they all clap. This is bad comedy.
BREAKING: Trump told the Cabinet today that they're in charge of their departments, not Elon Musk.
According to two administration officials, Trump said that Musk can make recommendations but not issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy.
Musk was also in the room.
