working on uxn feels like a cross between a zachtronics videogame and your cool friend's new art project

song of the week: "do not fold"

(wanted to write something fast, short, and weird using the garageband drums + guitars.)

once again feeling the urge to run esoteric operating systems that make "normal" computer usage virtually impossible

wrote a heavy drone/ambient track for song-of-the-week: "abyssal zone"

the song i wrote for this week is an ominous synth homage to horror movies:

"obelisk" (2021)

soundtrack for today: "?ILLEGAL TRACK OR SECTOR" (1999) by MAT64

about to buy a new floppy drive on ebay for my mac se/30. (need floppy drive to reinstall OS in english and put other software on it.)

this is another procedurally-generated song; the slicing and reassembling the breaks is done semi-randomly by a python program, along with the distortion.

this week's song-of-the-week entry is some especially loud/glitchy drum-and-noise:

(based on a one measure 808 break)

i signed up for this account before the proliferation of mastodon instances and it's fine but sometimes i feel bad i'm not on a "cool" mastodon instance

for my song-of-the-week club this week i wrote a very simple piece of aleatoric music using the WebAudio synthesizer API:

(plays a bit better in chrome although it does work in firefox too)

the piece is called "this is fine"

just wrote another MOSAIC Strict module. for some reason this format is really working for me right now:

(arguably i should try to adapt a preexisting thing like orca but making my own thing is half the fun)
