An all time favorite getting a long awaited repress + first vinyl edition in the US!
the last of our albums not to get a reissue on vinyl... is getting a reissue. The weirdest and most hypnotic record we made, and a unanimous band fave the last time I checked.

Decided on a whim to put the app on sale for the next few days for cheap - $5.99. Great time to grab it if you’ve been waiting!

This dev update post did surprisingly well for some reason... Maybe it was the mention of midi control that caused the algorithm to boost it? Either way, please have a look at the app’s instagram page for some of the recent stuff I’ve been working on…. www.instagram.com/p/DJM9be6uZ5...

Hard to believe it’s been 3 years since the Algorithmic Art Assembly. I had such an amazing time returning to San Francisco and seeing so many friends. Need to get back soon!

The Last Days of May – initially inspired by Australian guitarist Roland S. Howard – is @zsennef.bsky.social’a longest piece to date, a wistful work of sweet melancholy with the course and tempo of a dimming summer’s day, undercut by his trademark sleight of hand in intricate, decaying detail.

has anyone written about AI-assisted vibe coding? the loss of the flow state, the move away from mental modeling of computational processes, managerialization of the developer class, etc? it feels like a bellweather, but i’ve had trouble explaining to non-programmers.

Have a great weekend, or best you can. Open a window and listen. Play one of your least favorite LPs, CDs, or tapes and decide if it's worth keeping. Pick up a favorite book and read a section at random out loud. See ya Monday — or maybe Tuesday.
