“It is not only animal and plant species which are being destroyed…but also…human priorities. The latter are being sprayed not with pesticides, but with ethicides—agents that kill ethics and therefore any notion of history or justice."

If we consider all the forms of generative AI, including text, images, code, and video, it is fundamentally metabolic media.

Intensification - Kate Crawford - Eating the Future: The Metabolic Logic of AI Slop
AI slop isn’t invested in the order of events or even looking like reality. The slop is not the territory: it just smothers it in synthetic goop. It’s flooding the zone with AI shit.

Trichotomy, for violin & piano (2015)

Ended up recording this piece ten years after composing it with the absolutely amazing Maiani da Silva (of Eighth Blackbird), with a gorgeous mix from Lewis Pesacov, and insanely fine video documentation by Louis Ng. I am honored.

Friends: I just put together a website dedicated to "Silicon Valley pro-extinctionism." It includes a list of articles that I've recently published on the topic. In my view, this is one of the most important issues that almost no one is talking about. See the link below!

Fantasia e ricercare

Recorded a year ago at Cincinnati Music Hall for a program developed by Four Larks and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra with conductor Matthias Pintscher, it is a nearly hour-long baroque improvisation for harpsichord.
