Mmmm "Memento Vault" memory munch sesh featuring the soothingly-sometimes-synthwave soundz of Plughugger's Neon City for u-he Repro... aka welcome to yesterday's future!

I believe The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is a pure litmus test of whether you can have unbounded, funmaxxed, anti-cynical enjoyment in this day and age. If you can see it in 4DX with friends and family, go for it, and you'll have a sore back AND many happy memories afterwards!

An alternate me (to them, I'm the alternate) has bartered with me to finalize a heap of 444+ tracks they composed. A gemfully eclectic lot. It's intriguing 'cuz there are a lot of choices I would've made, and some I wouldn't — makes me wonder what's "right" vs. just "different".

And here's a hammerfelt piano note (haha) to end this album on. I like what it sounds like inside the soundboard, the guts of pianistic gladness. Turn up volume for last note. :D

Another in the long-running series, respects to Ryuichi Sakamoto + Alva Noto. Also proudly 'n' humanely hand-crafted with Spectrasonics Omnisphere 3.

@VadimYuryev Prettywild if you went back in time and told 1990s Mac addicts this is what would transpire AFTER the 2006 alliance and AFTER the move to Apple Silicon... history doesn't just rhyme, it comes full circle in the most unpredictable-yet-fitting ways.

A random auto-panner is one of the most useful tools in your audio arsenal — the gently moving drift adds liveliness + space, plus removes unnecessary micro-decisions about stereo field placement. Being able to instantly add 'em with Noir Labs Shortcut Buddy... MORE satisfying!

I look for excuses 4 catchy names, and this one's no different — I begin with some chords and play more notes, and eventually we have a completed piece o' music.

Ray Lynch RIP. "Celestial Soda Pop" aura carries me strong. Ever feel funny when you learn someone you admired died months ago? Keeps happening to me.

We live in a world where there are not just one but TWO films that feature bountiful beavers doing beaver behaviors en masse: (1) Pixar’s Hoppers and (2) Hundreds of Beavers. There needs to be a c-c-c-combo. 🦫🦫 🪵 💞

What “smh” stands for says a lot about you. 👀

VanEck’s socials are so ON-POINT. I’m smiling so much for making finance fun. Forget stodgy branding… more ETFs need their own themed merch like this SMH HAT!!!!

"Just one more round" could apply to a crippling addiction, or in my case the essential desire to manifest another piece from my mind's ears.

Recording room tone from the Backrooms is quite the surreal experience.

The creepier side, with a light percussion accompaniment. Like that Twilight Zone episode with the Gremlin. Gets a bit more upbeat later.

Botanica-influenced sparkly-chimey side — really gives the bells a thorough workout!

I'm too fond of new jack swing rhythms + glitch-hop, so I had to play this out with some 1990s funk. Like those cartoon animals warning kids to not do drugs (secret: they're already high!)

Harp-adjacent soaring pattern interlocks, contemporary take on 1980s-1990s sequencing.
