My rant was published today. I know some of my fellow sound artists might disagree with everything I said, but I figure if we don’t have these conversations, nothing will change and the medium be full of glorified tech crafts from https://t.co/vSYBS6tByM https://t.co/wXU9Gr4wmp

I produced a song that my partner wrote - Then the pandemic happened and delayed every idea she had about releasing it. It’s finally out today along with a beautiful music video directed and shot by @byjoshlee // https://t.co/IoNfwNqSPx // #lesbiantiktok

7.6M streams = $22,800. We own our masters so we keep 100%, divided by 3 band members = $7,600 income for 2021. Did you know we got a 10.0 on @pitchfork? To calculate your own #SpotifyUnwrapped multiply streams by $0.003, divide w/label and bandmates https://t.co/TU3LBIkxgn

“the places where media art, electronic music, and sound art are overwhelmingly white and European by design suffer from a lack of intellect, a lack of vision, and a lack of imagination, and are therefore in no position to honor or rank us.” https://t.co/PziGa29diH
