New pfp!

The number of AI music startups that cold call me about collabs every week is STAGGERING.

Davinci Resolve’s transcript tool is really hanging my ass out to dry here lmao

Honestly, Depeche Mode’s run from Black Celebration to Songs of Faith and Devotion is maybe the craziest in electronic music.

Violator is such a perfect album.

I just saw a pharmaceutical anime commercial????

This is genuinely one of my favorite albums of the last year. Listen to Mapquest (I Tell Myself) and try not to *feel* something. You won't be able to.

Variables is out now!

I'm less than 24 hours out from the release of my new single and like clockwork this is the time when that little voice is like "every mix decision you made was the WRONG mix decision, pal."

I just caught myself almost writing a THIRD song in a row that the chorus starts with "I can't" which is probably something I should mention to my therapist lmao

One week until Variables drops! I'd love it if you pre-saved it! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... #musicproduction #idm #pop

Depeche Mode Elephant Gym Sting The Japanese House (at a zoo!) The Japanese Breakfast Muna HAIM Tokyo Police Club Boygenuis Nickelback (a funny jr. high story)

I am constantly, endlessly torn between wanting my music to be overly dynamic, atmospheric soundscapes and just absolutely loud as fuck bangers. And I just cannot make up my mind ever. Ever!

I often forget to post here but I'm still uploading every Friday to YouTube without fail. This week I'm discussing how awesome sample slicing is!

It's #BandcampFriday and I have a new single out. If you're into meticulously produced pop songs about your inner child then you should 100% give it a listen!

My music and YT work is featured on Ableton's blog and homepage this week! Such an awesome experience. You can also listen to my new single there as well! www.ableton.com/en/blog/past...

@akashthakkar.com and I recorded 30,000 bees from INSIDE the hive and you won't believe the music I turned it into

I empathize with the difficulty of running a huge event but I would argue that devs have ALWAYS valued GDC but not paying speakers, the high ticket price, and expensive host city has not shown any mutuality. Best of luck with the festival.

How many ways can Spotify say “We don’t value artists” without actually saying it?

IN LESS THAN A YEAR! Absolutely wild!!!

Prepping slides fro the upcoming term and I'm always grateful for this reminder.

I googled a question about Digital Performer and google's automatic AI response gives me a video about Logic Pro alongside a screenshot from Ableton Live. 😂

Half of my mixing process is checking in mono and then fixing some of the flippant stereo shit I did when producing 😅

Sega is gearing up for the heist of a lifetime rn

Footgolf with @cpsqueaks.bsky.social and @sabrinafedeleaudio.bsky.social today!

🤞🏻Ableton MIDI Timecode 🤞🏻

PAX West was a ton of fun! My highlight was our packed Friday night panel, in which I sampled the entire audience (and ONLY the audience) to make the music for the game. I also vlogged the whole thing from onstage 😅 Check it out!

Big Silent Hill energy here in Seattle today as I descend into the fog to go get some cat food

I’m very late to Vampire Survivors but goddamn do I love me some weaponized garlic 🧄

I launched my monthly Q&A series this week over on my YT. Give it a watch and leave me a question!

It’s a good day when I get to introduce somebody to the monorail

I have no context for the baguette cosplay at PAX and I kind of prefer it this way

Want to see me make all the music and SFX for a video game in just one hour? Be at the Firebird Theater at 9:30 pm TONIGHT. #PAXWest

BC for the weekend. Incredibly beautiful. Grateful to sneak in one trip this summer.

I got a new wallet because this one reached the end of its lifecycle. I feel oddly sentimental about letting go of this thing that I’ve used every day now for years.

Here's a fun challenge for you (and me)! Reply with a link to the most HORRIBLE sound you've ever heard. No human voices. I want to see if I can make beautiful music with it.

Sometimes your camera roll hits you with a good one
