Still from TRON (1982

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

Good morning, please enjoy this lovely badger who is a current regular on my camera trap. Female, I believe. Enjoying the cherry plums that drop from the branches I can't reach.

Away'n'that. Will do!

Yesssss....

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

I finally sprung for Parawave's Rapid. Seemingly neglected but one of the best sounding sofftware synths I've heard. Always interesting and rich, it has that magic property of constant pleasant surprises.

Quite a few of the more popular synths favoured by sound designers sound kinda boring to me 🤷

Thanks for the heads-up :)

This was on my mind when we made Toast Time and even back then it felt like a losing one. I'd love to see a more vibrant indie scene on mobile. There are so many more interesting design affordances in that space to explore.

Wholeheartedly agree with this review; When There are Wolves Again is a fabulous book; and if you're in Bristol I'll be interviewing @catamaroon.bsky.social about it on October 14th at Stanfords!

Love to see it!

Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing some breakdowns. Good luck with the recovery! :)

Haha. I remembered that recorder is 32bit about an hour after posting. The sense of shame is great.

Lifting your knee up to check levels is gonna be a pretty cool look.

Yeah. Maybe some additional shaders and lighting tricks, but at the same fidelity/texture/grunge.

Them: So what have y'all been up to?
Me: Haha, you know. The usual.

The Usual:

CRT on top of cassette deck. Major flex.

(yes, I'm jealous)

I'd love to work on a remaster like Deus Ex and just go incredibly hard on the existing aesthetic. Push further into 'that'.

Not an update. Not even a remaster. Just a fever-dream alternative.

Intelligence appears to be a property of a system. And that system need does not have a central node that coordinates all other nodes.

Yet AI, as it manifests in the US context, is all about centralised networks.

Massive consolidation of entertainment conglomerates has an unexpected downside for them: when one of their subsidiaries capitulates to fascism, it threatens their entire portfolio.

ABC, Disney, Star Wars, theme parks, cruises, Hulu, Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, etc. are all now fair boycott targets.

"Crafter"?

Too... pretentious?

As mentioned, Craftsperson is the non-gendered version and I think it works fine.

The Discreet Archive Earthphone 2025 Every so often I buy a microphone purely out of curiosity. The Discreet Archive Earthphone is one such purchase I acquired recently. It’s an unusual sound gathering device which invites the user to go exploring! Based on a geophone design the Earthphone has a frequency response from 10Hz to 1kHz. It can be used to listen to low end sounds (particularly quiet sounds) inside a range of subjects both natural and manmade. The Earthphone comes with a choice of three different sensors which can be interchangeably screwed on to the body pictured below.

The Tape Label Report, August 2025 Five tape labels to know and love this month.

Here's a thing I routinely do: write about DIY tape labels for @bandcamp.com.

Sometimes it can feel like culture is calcifying (and maybe it is IDK), but then you have heroes like Cooper Bowman releasing primo experimental music out of pure, raw love.

It is with heavy heart (and, unfortunately, deep affection) that I must reshare a snippet from the 1980s masterpiece “Yes, Prime Minister”, in relation to Russia’s drone attack on a NATO ally.
