I'm kind of...ready to let go of "linux" as some sort of artist statement. I want to make way more room for creative expression in the sound arts. I've abandoned myself for too long. My identity is not the computer.

Do you feel like just using Linux impedes that, or is it the way that you use it?

it's just the risk of getting too into your tools as an artist. the joke i make with respect to doing graphics engineering is that it's like if a painter went and got a phd in materials science because they wanted to learn about how different pigments interact with binders and solvents

does it make your art better?? maybe? probably not lol

i think there is always benefit in understanding how your paints work, but i meet so many people who just end up going one way or another. tool building is such a deep practice on its own, it's way too hard to do both. best to know which lane you want to be in for whatever period of time
