War and hate crimes on Facebook in 12k definition and the first comment says “is this ai?”

A vinyl record of the album "Extrapolation" by John McLaughlin is playing on a turntable. The record is black with an orange label. The album cover features a blurry, motion-filled image of John McLaughlin playing guitar, illuminated by a single light source. The cover has the artist's name and album title in orange text at the top.

Early jazz fusion with a hearty dose of chunky comp guitar and fills.

A greyscale image of an ornate, symmetrical frame created with numerous, tightly packed, wavy lines. The lines are arranged in concentric, eye-like shapes and layered patterns that give the impression of a dense, textured fabric. This intricate frame encloses a smooth, oval-shaped central space. The overall effect is a highly detailed and abstract decorative pattern.

Gonna start calling ai generated music ‘clankercore’.

Bring back strange backwater websites hosted on GeoCities focusing on extremely specific topics and/or conspiracies.

A long, rectangular, black and white image shows two identical, circular objects, resembling phonograph records or spools, placed side by side. The circles have a central label and a pattern of lines radiating outwards, intersected by concentric circles. A series of straight, dark lines are drawn between the two circles, connecting points on the circumference of one circle to points on the circumference of the other. The lines cross over each other in the space between the circles, forming a complex, crisscross pattern. The image is a print on a light-colored surface, possibly paper, with the top and bottom edges slightly faded or torn.

Back at it in the studio post-hiatus. 📉🌑

A meme titled "Reject modernity, Embrace tradition." The top row shows the logos for modern music streaming services: Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. The bottom row shows three icons representing traditional forms of media or technology: the blue phoenix logo for Soulseek, the yellow and black bubble icons for DC++, and a stack of blank CD-R discs.

"Please think of the children" = imposes age verification by forcing people to submit their biometric data for surveillance purposes.

Children starving in Gaza = No action.

Apparently the UK adult verification thing has basically banned blind people from half of the internet because they can't use the verification system 🫣

Probably a stretch but part of me suspects that the UK government online safety act is set up as a pretext to try to curtail illegal streams through VPNs.

It’s like the ghost of Mary Whitehouse back with a vengeance.

The 61st Venice Biennale for the US Pavilion should just be a display of the Epstein files.

A sheet of modern graphic musical notation featuring scattered and abstract black marks, dots, and lines across traditional five-line staves. The notation appears unconventional, lacking standard musical symbols, suggesting an experimental or avant-garde composition.

Tune in onto @campradio.bsky.social tonight at 6pm CEST for this episode of Outertones. Playlist featuring works by Natasha Barrett, Iancu Dumitrescu, Christina Vantzou and more!

A top-down shot showcases nine mini CD album keychains arranged on a blue surface. Each keychain features a clear, square plastic case, mimicking a real CD album, with various designs. Some cases are open, revealing a miniature CD in a different color (like pink, white, or red) on one side and album art on the other. Other cases are closed, displaying the album art. Each case is attached to a colorful plastic keyring in shades of pink, orange, yellow, blue, or red.

Ready to start a label with music being released being exclusively released on these.

A white page of sheet music with 10 staves, each filled with various abstract, hand-drawn black marks, squiggles, and dots. The marks do not resemble traditional musical notation but instead appear as spontaneous, calligraphic gestures. The lines of the staves are mostly straight, but some show slight warping. The overall impression is one of experimental or graphic notation rather than conventional musical scores.

Tune in this Thursday at 18:00 CEST for a new episode of Outertones on @campradio.bsky.social , exploring how sound disperses, fractures, drifts and evaporates. Featuring works by Iancu Dumitrescu, Natasha Barrett, Salvatore Sciarrino and more!

A man with long, wavy hair and a black leather jacket is standing outdoors in a city park, holding an ice cream cone with a chocolate topping. He is wearing a red shirt underneath the jacket. The fingers on his right hand are visible and display the tattooed letters “OZZY.” Behind him, people are sitting and walking in the sunny park, and tall buildings line the background. The photo has a vintage quality and appears to be from the late 1970s or early 1980s.

RIP Ozzy (1948 - 2025)

Where would electric Miles fall into?

Hell yeah Sylvanian Synth

it's just not just artists impacted by Ai but also there is the growing feeling of uncertainty now embedded in every piece of digital media. There's going to be less giveaway signs to Ai with the technology already getting better and not knowing whether something is authentic or not.

DNI = Do Not Improvise

A cassette tape and its j-card (sleeve) for the band Haunted, lying on a wooden surface. The j-card, on the left, shows a dark, Gothic castle with lightning striking in the background. Two skeletal figures stand on either side of the castle. The band's logo, "Haunted," is at the top in red, in a black metal-style font. The cassette tape, on the right, is clear grey plastic with black text. It lists the band name "Haunted" and the year "1992", along with a tracklist: "Lament Configuration", "Exhume The Rotting Dead", "Lusting The Cadavers", "Orgies Of The Damned", "Nailing The Nazarene", "Carcass Of Christ", and "Shredding The Carcass".

Dusted this one off whilst reorganising the house for renovation. Grimy Pennsylvania death metal with a snare tone that’s delightfully nasty. #nowplaying #cassunday #metalsky

Waiting for post “unc-core” to become a thing.
