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

You don;t have to support this shit. If you spend the $15 every month that this costs on thrift store DVDs, your quality of entertainment will probably improve AND you can take a month or two off here and there and still have something to watch.

Going back and listening to "MDCX" again just for fun while I meditate on my new patch to see if my brain comes up with any tweaks it needs.
What a goddamn album "MDCX" is!
"Kallistó" is obviously the standout with the bassoon involved, but "Evrópa" is a close second. Excellent pedal bass

Coming up to the finish line on this new #wavestate patch.
Explored a horrible dungeon in Elden Ring this morning to get me in the right frame of mind. It absolutely worked.
The Shaded Castle is terrible, but thanks for the inspiration, FromSoft

Progress on new #wavestate thing
I could leave it where it is and be happy, but I’ll work in the rest of the planned sounds tomorrow.
A minor… and it has a very dungeon atmosphere about it.
I’ve been playing non-stop Elden Ring though, so no surprise.

Tomorrow’s the day. I can think of no better gift than people picking up and listening to some of my #music on #Bandcamp

So hey, my birthday is coming up next week. I tend to be very low-key and quiet about it.
If you’d like to help me celebrate a year around our star, go listen to some of my #music. Follow me on #Bandcamp if you don’t already, and maybe buy yourself a thing or two.

For the first time since getting the PS5 (fairly soon after it came out, so a number of years back) I had to clean out the fans.
It sounds much happier now and hooray I took apart a piece of electronics and didn’t break it (which I was super-afraid of).

This probably reads as dinosaur talk to the converts, but, as I've said elsewhere about all these kinds of things, playing an instrument in a group is, at minimum, fun. Fussing with prompts at a black box that would happily burn Jupiter for a country song is, at maximum, sad.

There is no such thing as ethical generated AI.
There is no such thing as AI 'art.'
AI generated media is theft.
Enthusiasm for AI is weird and stupid and yes you should feel bad if you've used it for anything.
Give up on it, move on and do something worth time and effort.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
