Wanted to have a quick talk about my handle and artist name, rauðvik.
If you have a passing knowledge of Icelandic/Nordic languages, you‘ll see the root, "rauð-" in there, meaning "red."
"-vik" derived from the verb, "að víkja", one meaning of which is "to deviate from." /1

Y’all, I had my doubts after being stuck in bed for a month and only having 1 of 3 tracks recorded for this new album with only a week to go before release…
At the moment, though? The 3rd song of 3 is exporting 😤😤😤

What awaits listeners on December’s album, "deyjandi stjörnur?"
Dense #wavestate #drones that will likely demand multiple listens in order to grasp what is going on to the fullest extent.
These drones are massive, and at times it seems as though there are more than 4 layers at work per track.

Apparently 1st of the month is going to be the designated PS5 cleaning day unless the fan gets loud again before that. Christ I didn’t think this thing could draw in that much dust in so short a time

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Current track is going to be the death of me.
There’s *so* much going on in this patch that I forgot I programmed into the #wavestate, so I’m having to track down all the theoretical mods to figure out if what I’m hearing is a malfunction requiring another take, or if there are explanations.

Musician folks, who is an artist who, if they listened to your #music, you’d be over the moon about it?
For me, definitely Martin Stürtzer, and it’d be an extra perk if he enjoyed the experience.

Finally… after a full day of there being noises of vast magnitude outside that headphones couldn’t block out, I can get cracking on "deyjandi stjörnur"
This is a very special #wavestate #drone that’s brewing. Anyone who’s become a fan of that side of my work, hope you’re excited

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I can’t lie…the kids ate with “that’s AI” when pointing out a lie or something deceiving.

Real talk, there is nothing fun at all about Promised Consort Radahn.
Is the fight possible? Yeah
Have I gotten close? Yeah
Has the learning process been enjoyable? No
My learning of his moveset notwithstanding, even doing proper evasive moves doesn’t guarantee escaping damage and a quick death

It’s always a good time when @synthsky.bsky.social goes on a reposting spree since it fills my feed with cool music stuff (the way it very well should be).

Playing around with some new ideas for the #multi/poly for the first time in months.
While I *can* build without the companion editor software, I can say I definitely prefer to have that in front of me to build sounds with this massive #synth.
Love it, but without having the editor layout,

Listening to the master of "endalokin alheimsins" again and I find it lovely how the glitter of the bitcrusher I put on Layer A is *always* present – sometimes more, sometimes less.
It’s maddening in the best kind of way, and I like to imagine it as a sonic representation of the final

there's only one use of AI that I'd REALLY like to see...
"you appear to not being using any of the AI features on your phone. Would you like to remove them all and any associated data that we've scraped without your permission?"
that's it. AI to detect AI refusniks which then deletes itself.

The veil of shadow is lifted and Enir-Ilim stands before me.
I’ll be savoring this as much as I can. I’ve been enjoying Shadow of the Erdtree more than the main story, dare I say it

I want to watch it, but frankly, I don’t give a shit about going in blind. I’d be just as glad to read an article summing it all up, then just watching at a pace I can choose.
