Sad to see junodownload has closed down. The options for buying digital music (to keep and support the artists) are even fewer now. 🙁 ra.co/news/85304

Congrats to @anosou.com and the team for 25 years of Reason! I bought Reason 1.0 in Jan 2001 and was honoured for FXpansion's Etch Red to be part of the Rack Extension launch in v6.5. What an amazing piece of software folks, thanks! www.reasonstudios.com/news/post/ho...

Time flies, as they say. 25 years ago, the very first version of Reason saw the light of the day. The idea was to create a self-contained music production and sound design software, available to anyon...

Lovely to see @maybeshewill.net back in London tonight, walking distance from the downstairs bar in Islington where I first saw them back in 2009. Always a joyous experience to hear them play.
I spend a chunk of last week trying not to rage quit Baby Steps and then real life throws this at me? What did I do to deserve this?
That thing where after two hours of searching the synth patch from 2008 you really wanted turns out to be from a dev build of a plugin and doesn't load in the released version 😢
Still smiling at how much love was in the room at the Kae Tempest show last night. What a beautiful experience.
Beautiful emotive electronic music from @lawrenke.bsky.social. Just lovely.
Lawrence King@lawrenke.bsky.social · last yr.My new EP "Chromasplat" is out now! 6 tracks of melodic, rhythmic electronic music. I really hope you enjoy listening. Available on Bandcamp and all streaming services: lawrenceking.bandcamp.com #newmusicfriday

SUPERHOT VR was one of the boldest pieces of video game art I'd experienced. I'd not heard about the removal of the story since. That it's no longer there is a tragedy, and its post purchase deletion reminds me of the need to preserve the works that matter. Great essay. Huge spoiler alert.
Gio :⁾@im.giovanh.com · last yr.SUPERHOT VR had its whole story patched out. I thought about it slightly too long and fell into rabbit hole. It doesn't make sense, it's bad that it happened, and it prompts a whole bunch of naval-gazing about Art.
This warms my nostalgic heart. An absolute game changer back in the day.
Mattias@anosou.com · 2y agoWe just released ReCycle for free! ♼ The product that launched @reasonstudios.com back in 1994. The original software for slicing samples. Retro music production, now working perfectly even on Apple Silicon and Windows on ARM. www.reasonstudios.com/recycle
This is great news. I've often had desktop sessions expire leaving big gaps in conversations. Another step closer to moving away from platforms owned by data-slurping tech bros.

It’s #BandcampFriday which means is a perfect time to support artists by embracing this antidote to poor streaming income for the majority of acts during Spotify Wrapped & Apple Replay season This was one of my ideas to make the most of year-end lists from this week’s @drownedinsound.org newsletter
The @nadineshah.bsky.social show at Kentish Town last night was just superb. An incredible voice and utterly compelling on stage.
PSA for UK Cure fans: the deluxe download with the 5 live tracks is up for sale but (in the small print) only until midnight tonight. shopuk.thecure.com/products/the... @craigatcof.bsky.social
It's a strange old world when Cubase & Maschine both release updates on the same day and the new pattern editor in Cubase is significantly more compelling.
Interesting Windows on ARM audio announcements from the Snapdragon summit... sonicstate.com/news/2024/10...

Heartbroken I couldn't get tickets for The Cure Troxy show. Still nursing a similar wound about Five Imaginary Boys at The Garage and that was over 30 years ago, so probably taking this one to my grave!

Music livestreaming platform Elk Live shuts down this month

It’s embarrassing to me that teams think this is just the way the business is. It is not normal to extract value for an IP and think that the craft that made it is fungible
Lovely time at the Underworld gig at Ally Pally this weekend - spent time with some old friends and bathed in the bright lights and banging tunes! And *incredibly* met Jeff Minter & Giles from Llamasoft who were total friendly gents when I (starstruck) babbled excitedly but incoherently at them!
