Space jazz made of sampled vinyl breaks, manipulated OP-1 loops, tasty keys, and live muted trumpet. Hard to imagine a better soundtrack to knowledge work than Takuya Nakamura: spacetak.bandcamp.com/album/… #bandcamp

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary ... Not that it means anything in the real world. LOL

Extract from Gillian’s Blue Monday programming scroll. It stretched the entire length of the Brit row snooker table #timstwitterlisteningparties

Wondering if I still have enough space on the old SSD to add yet another free Spitfire LABS #plugin. This one sounds gorgeous. youtube.com/watch?v=toGS5oHP…

Lesson no. 1 in how to handle a PR crisis on Twitter: NEVER hide the negative tweet replies. This behavior will show that your brand doesn't care to listen to its customers. What am I referring to? The entire #WavesAudio subscription fiasco: teapawt.net/WavesAudioLtd/status/1…

I just checked: they've been hiding replies for 22 hours straight. Sheesh.

Newsflash: you’re not the only plug-in manufacturer out there. This was an astonishingly stupid move 🤦🏻‍♀️ docs.google.com/spreadsheets… – at Los Angeles, CA

Had the brilliant idea to dig up some old song files in Reason dating back to 2004, which I remembered today I had done at 160 BPM for an EP of industrial bangers... aaand all the levels in Reason are clipping. LOL. The brashness of youth.

The secret to dance music is injecting variety within the monotony.

Modern conundrum #275: You're dying to talk, but the person across from you is more interested in checking every single phone notification that arrives. A lack of communication amidst constant connectivity.

Turns out Americans spend an average of 3 hours and 15 minutes on their mobile devices every day, hence the title of the song. Welcome to the modern world. "You have the heart of a marauder, the attention span of a toddler I want to talk to you, but your eyes are on the phone."

The song is "3 Hours 15 Minutes" from the album The Modern Conundrums. Out now on Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon, and everywhere else. acid42.bandcamp.com/album/th…

I released a 7-song #synthwave #synthpop album on #Bandcamp today talking about the dilemmas we face in the modern world. Have a listen if you're not doing anything crucial -- like saving lives, or taking a test. Cheers. acid42.bandcamp.com/album/th…
