Synth nerds: go buy yourself an M-Vave FM-1. Trust me. The DIY is blowing up and the custom firmware forks are already crazy. Best $70 you are going to spend on gear this month

I think there are valid criticisms to be made against some synth manufacturers, but people acting like they are useless in a musical capacity are just wrong. If you can’t write a worthwhile song on cheap gear, you can’t write a good song. Run it through through a pedal, get punk, stop being silly

How does he think the Nobel Prize works? Does he think it’s really THE Nobel Prize and the way you get awarded the prize is if the last person to get it decides you’re worth giving it to?

When we released EP 1 a couple years back, we very intentionally didn’t say much about ourselves. That was before AI music became rampant and faceless AI artists flooded the platforms. I think we’ll likely come out from behind the curtain a bit more for our next chapter. Still figuring that out

Turns out that sometimes, after a long week, you will randomly sign on to social media and discover that a bunch of kind people have written some very lovely things about your work. Thank you to all, it means more than you know #FeatureFriday

I don’t understand what the value proposition is with our current federal leadership. We give: crashed economy, fewer federal services, 10s of thousands of fewer federal jobs, destroyed foreign policy, and more… We get: ??? What am I missing? Why are we being asked to bite the bullet here?

This fun game where we get a daily report of the things that the hundred-billionaire decided we don’t deserve to keep while he vacuums up all the money for himself. What a time to be alive

Get asked a fair amount about our genre. It’s a weird question because idk the answer. We don’t have one in mind as we write. That said, genre can be a useful shorthand when introducing your work to new audiences. But being too aware of genre while writing can cause you to play to the gallery

A dark day. One of many to come, unfortunately. Take care of yourself and step back when you need to, but do not check out. We are accountable to history and we must act when we can. We must be here to witness what they do, not what they say. Difficult responsibilities we all share.

The impending sense of doom these days is palpable. Undoubtedly, we will look back on these days and curse ourselves for not doing more to prepare while we could. And yet I’m paralyzed. And all around me, life goes on with hardly an acknowledgement of the change that’s coming

Working on new music. Both M/E and other stuff We had an equipment failure about a year ago and lost an embarrassing amount of work in one blow, and it really took some wind out of our sails for a minute. But we’ve dusted ourselves off. Interesting to start hearing the difference a year makes
