The metric I use to determine if AI is being used in an unethical fashion: Was AI used to avoid paying money to a human?

And the metric I use for determining if something is AI slop: Was it made with AI?

I have become my parents. At A$5 including post I couldn’t resist. I feel a little guilty because I think the seller probably lost money on this one.

Free stuff!

I mentioned in my Diva Gemini walkthrough video that there was a small folder of Diva percussion sounds I made for my demo tracks.

I've now added it to the Free page on my website.

Last few days to grab Dreamstate at the intro price! A swag of synth/dream/chillwave patches by @killstarr.bsky.social and myself.

New Diva soundset! This one is a first for Oblivion Sound Lab: a collaboration! I teamed up with fellow Melbourne producer Killstarr, and we each designed 60 patches broadly in a dreamwave and chillwave style. oblivionsoundlab.com/product/drea...

Cover art for Dreamstate, a soundset for the software synthesizer Diva. The cover illustration is in a retro, vaguely '80s-meets-art-deco style. A recumbent female head emerges from a grid like plane, like a mountain range. She gazes up at a sphere suspended in a starry night sky, possibly a planet. Text read: Dreamstate. Diva Soundset. Killstarr. Oblivion Sound Lab.

Started watching Uncut Gems, immediately intrigued by the music during the opening scene. Turns out Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never scored the film!

Treat your ears and have a listen to Matt’s walkthrough of these two Diva soundsets.

The Unfinished @theunfinished.bsky.social · 25d

Diva Gemini and Diva Gemini Dark are now available to buy and download from my website.

Brand new sounds evoking the retro analogue wonder of Berlin School, electronic ambient and sci-fi film scoring.

"Couldn't make X today because of woke" claims are easily disproved by pointing at South Park.

Todays haul. Reliving my youth. Like millions of other awkward teenagers The Violent Femmes were my favourite group. By art school it was The Pixies. Never owned Doolittle though, it was always just in the air. Not a U2 fan, but have a soft spot for War and got it for A$5.

3 CDs: War by U2, The Violent Femmes self titled, Doolittle by The Pixies.

Gotta love Ian Brown's absolute commitment to not putting the microphone anywhere near his mouth in the music video for I Wanna Be Adored. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D2q...

So many Keith Haring imitators these days

Just took my 16yo for their first driving lesson (sans professional instructor). My heart should stop racing any day now. Apparently my car "speeds up when you put your foot on the brake".
