My take is... if you believe in something you have to convince others you're right, not relinquish your values and be a slightly less worse option.

My Dad's first cousin, so technically my second cousin(?) is my "aunt" because it's way easier than trying to understand the first part of this sentence or if the first part of this sentence is genetically accurate.

Just sharing that i miss this version of social media and this made me laugh, thank you

Who are you selling products to if your product has taken away the jobs from the people you need to sell records to?

Everything is terrible but I'm having fun at school:

I didn't realize this was in the context of soccer and just found it to be a deeply poetic meditation on the nature of being.

Two different signs with two different audiences in mind.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

YouTube video by Laurie Anderson - Topic From the Air

This morning I randomly remembered that Laurie Anderson exists. From the Air is a vibe.

"Good evening.
This is your Captain.
We are about to attempt a crash landing."

One of my teachers at @syracuseu.bsky.social and an incredible composer. Deeply beautiful music.

Check this album out!!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This is the way.

My Mom saved our Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. I'm now very grateful she did.

like a skeleton

wanting to start again?"

I, in a completely non-trolling and sincere way, think the new Taylor Swift album is her best album. Other albums have better songs, but this is cohesively and thematically her strongest and most diverse collection. Except Cancelled. I don't care for that one. (although I think it fits the theme).

I released "Early Electroacoustic Works" last week. It's a collection of drone, noise, plunderphonics, and acousmatic works from 2010-2016. Give it a listen if you'd like!

I'm obsessed with the "new" version of "We Built This City". First "We flushed this toilet." Now "We quilt this city"... for toilet paper.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I'm personally fascinated by the increasing likelihood of things like this happening. The commodification of 20th century culture.

U2 was called that because they thought there was a little guy inside the delay pedal who played everything a second and a half after the band did.

Three Studies for Baritone Saxophone and Electronics features my friend, Floris Van der Veken. He is very good at saxophone and also fun to hang out with.

If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend driving from NY to Oklahoma with a Belgian and letting him ask questions along the way.

Bandcamp Friday is over, but the record is still in the world! If you like noise, plunderphonics, drones, and field recordings, you might like this record. Listen for free or purchase for $7.

I put out a new newsletter today! I talk about the new record, my love of @amandashires.bsky.social's new record and upcoming concerts with Society for New Music.

Jokes aside, I'm really excited to be putting this into the world. Putting this record together helped me to better understand my own musical journey.

I'm really proud of it. You can hear me develop my voice, but I also think the pieces stand on their own.

I hope you enjoy.

It's #BandcampFriday! Both Taylor Swift and I have new records. Mine is mostly plunderphonics, noise, ambient, field recording based soundscapes. Hers probably is not that. You can listen to/buy mine at the link below:

Eden is the right answer. Lemon Grass is also a go to spot. Pheobe's is more of an "old school" fancy place. If you're able to drive out of the city itself, The Craftsman in Fayetteville (about 10-15 minutes from downtown) is also amazing.

Good god I need the Democrats to be better at politics. If you can't figure out how to spin this, please leave politics and let smarter people take over.

Oh hey! Thanks @untidyradio.bsky.social!
