What a wall of sound. I’ve never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Doesn’t get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is sublime.

Not an album I know well. For some reason I always gravitate to Love Over Gold and Making Movies - I know those albums like the back of my hand. Masterpieces, both of them. I must give this another listen

I like the comparisons with synthesizers, digital cameras, Photoshop etc. Not an aspect I’d considered before, so it will be interesting if we do in fact see a “creativity boom” as a result of these new techs…

Personally, I’ve found the text based LLMs to be invaluable in parts of my professional life - for example, churning out boilerplate type text for procedural documents. It’s a tool to be used when appropriate, but currently it’s new and shiny…

Fascinating read, cheers.

There’s really nothing other than Bitwig and Ableton that deals well with loops/clips, or has that clip-based workflow.
