Hey, note to new follows:
We didn't follow you to get you to listen to us;
We followed you bc we want to listen to you, especially when you talk about music.
Talk is the oxygen of music culture, + today doesn't have enough of it.
Also, we're a band of people; not just billboards.

YouTube video by KEXP Sharon Van Etten - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

Sharon Van Etten is such a treasure. Her Remind Me Tomorrow record produced by John Congleton changed the way we thought about composition / production. And love the new Attachment Theory material. This stripped down KEXP performance is 🔥

Also hoping to revisit collab idea w/ @rockstarelise.com. Traded some voice notes we’re excited about. Let’s see if we can manifest a solid Bluesky #MusicSky finding each other story.

Ok. back at it this month. Had to hit day job for bit to fund next phase — new release coming (been done for a year, but now it’s time). New track in works — something to process the violence in this world. & video we started last Oct, but editing / learning new software took longer than we thought.

🤘🤘

Oh trust me — as kids of Cuban immigrants — we get this take. The phobia fever is real.

Correct. But the mythology of the virtues of “free market capitalism” persists… and less-informed peeps end up designing their lives with faulty encoding in pursuit of this ideal.

37yrs ago, our second single from Vivid, Cult Of Personality, was released - July 14, 1988!

Thank you to every fan who’s ever cranked it to 11, moshed to it, studied the lyrics, questioned authority, and demanded more. This song belongs to all of you now.

Confirmed. This was impressive AF 🫡

Can’t wait to spend some time with this performance.

Kind of felt like we started the summer with a little hometown Miami mini tour - we played Wynwood, Little Havana, and Little Haiti twice. Great crowds. So fun. #MusicSky #indiemusic #indietronica #altpop

I created this overview of different synthesis types/approaches as part of my How to Synth/synth programming guide, but it's a pretty handy reference/overview for when you need to remember "What's the difference between samples and wavetables?"

Whew… 3 shows over last 3 weeks and another one next week. Everyone so far has been a joy / an experience... Doing the work and bringing along new peeps with every show. Feels right. Go do the thing, friends. This is fun. #MusicSky

Show tonight. Bar Nancy. Miami. 🫡

Going to go throw some gratuitous Crystallizer on a track for no reason at all 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🏳️‍🌈🫡

Just when I thought I couldn’t love the Soundtoys collection of plugins any more.

YouTube video by Still Corners Still Corners - Black Lagoon (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Listening to Still Corners’ Black Lagoon… it’s as if Suzanne Vega and Chris Isaak were doing a version of Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy.. this is a feature, not a bug.
