Wolf Alarm - Rosie Katz
YouTube video by Rosie Katz Wolf Alarm - Rosie Katz

I made this last night and today. My new method for song naming: search for a photo on my phone that will work with the song, then use photo/search word as the name. Wolf Alarm. Whoโ€™s the Wolf?

Technical stuff: I started with some guitar and a looper pedal (hence the picture) and recorded it coming out of the amp on my phone then emailed it to myself and started playing around with it in Ableton using their pre-made sounds/samples. I also converted the guitar stuff into MIDI to play with.

The song title is about the grief of losing my youth and the world that surrounded it, but itโ€™s in a major key because Iโ€™m still holding on to a grain of hope. It feels good to make stuff for me again!

The Video Game Industryโ€™s Existential Crisis (with Jason Schreier) Video games are more popular than ever, but many of the biggest companies in the business seem like they are struggling to adapt and convert that popularity into stability and sustainability.

we're doing an additional interview podcast every week now. For my first, I talked to @jasonschreier.bsky.social about how and why the video game business has changed so much in recent years www.404media.co/the-video-ga...

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

This is so disappointing. Some poor decisions at Microsoft.

YouTube video by Rosie Katz Abandoned Warehouse Level Design Block Out in UE5

Full timelapse of the abandoned warehouse level design block out is up on youtube! This time I did the music for it too. I kind of rushed myself with the music so it loops a lot, but itโ€™s nice to use all my own content this time :)
