we're a month into summer so I thought I'd share an update! I have not worked on the EP since making this post; not even a little bit ๐Ÿ‘ I hope it's okay if I thank you for your patience with the things I HAVE been working on before long ๐Ÿ˜‰

celebrating six years of "Dither Beach" and an update on what comes next. #chiptune listen + pwyw at petriform.bandcamp.com/album/dither... alternatively read the text of this post on tumblr because alt text couldn't fit it all: blog.petriform.com/post/8116553... thank you and stay tuned ๐Ÿ™‚

(edited for character limit) six years ago today, I released an album that started with the lyric "can we go to the beach?" just in time for the world to unequivocally reply "absolutely not." "Dither Beach" is the most recent album in the pop-punk branch of my long-running chiptune canon, and it stands as the most up-to-date showcase of how I've evolved and pushed the boundaries of that particular segment of my sound and technique. it should come as no surprise that, after six years, I've had things cooking for Dither Beach's successor for quite some time. in fact, the concept has been fleshed out for over five years at least. as it happened, though, I took so many detours that I find myself far away from where I started. now, having deferred the successor to "Dither Beach" for so long, I can no longer revisit it from the same place. I am no longer as interested in the concept, and having widened my horizons so, no longer as motivated to iterate upon my pop-punk recipes. if I try to finish the album I started six years ago, I will fail. doing so is simply incompatible with where I stand today and where my present interests lie. so after much consideration, I am re-scoping the album to be a tight EP instead. I hope this isn't disappointing for those of you who have waited six years and counting for more of that sound, but I would rather release a kick-ass front-to-back EP than a half-assed LP that my heart isn't all the way in. in brighter news (and in classic petri fashion), I've been working on new tunes and concepts aside from all of this. as for the EP, I hope to have it for you this summer -- fingers crossed! please look forward to "the triple crown" soon, and thank you as always. -petri

this iconic zoobe bunny performance features in my personal living-document (winnie the pooh update pending) audio accompaniment to my longtime 4th-of-Shit ritual of aggressively drinking a Four Loko (I no longer do this. the audio is the ritual now) idk what you'd want this for, but Have It Anyway

The chaotic beauty (sometimes frenzy) of Frank Zappa's instrumental work is a pretty singular sound, but I'll be goddamned if @adrianshegstad.bsky.social doesn't deftly soar into those uncanny sonic spaces time and again.

I donโ€™t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldnโ€™t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.
