I read a shit book in July titled The Lesser Dead. Cool twist but shit overall.

NI, iZotope, Brainworx, Plugin Alliance... who even owns what? And what's happening with the craftspeople who make oboes and trumpets? (Seriously, there are some big shakeups) Your cheat sheet for the NI afterscape and other M&A in 2026... so far.

Am I in the “fuck it, release it” stage of my musical journey or am I still stuck in the “it’s only a demo and it will never be done” stage?
Probably going to have a beer and listen to some ambient music today.
I finally got around to turning an old iPhone into an iPod. I was considering purchasing an old iPod but I think the phone is the better option.
I needed a beach book and now I've got it, if I don't just finish it now (already been browsing.) Tons of inspiration here, including ways of thinking about instruments, ambisonics and architecture, and more. Thanks @scannerdot.com !

I just started reading Let the Right One In after finishing the first 3 Necroscope books. It’s a vampire summer.
I have discovered that I am most productive in sound design and sampling, early in the morning. Maybe it’s the fresh ears.
Your never ending, hard to get out of loop, can be interesting and entertaining if you don’t make the track 5 mins long. Normalize short tracks.

My initial impression of Inferno is good. I have to listen to it on different systems to have a full opinion. Will report back.
I’m avoiding all reviews of the new Boards of Canada release. I want my first listen to be untainted.
The NerdSeq is working out in the new rig. I just need to find room for the 16 trigger module.
Got the default firmware back on Clouds. I forgot how cool this thing was.
One of the sequencers I was using was not triggering correctly so I took that out of the case and I’m only using one, now. Let’s see how this goes.
