At best, it's such a fetching mess. Think I dialed in the punk correctly against the jazz. Maybe just smashed the console. [more inside]

Bashy garage rock inspired by a microscopic image of butterfly wings and "This Is How You Lose the Time War," by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. And romantic frustration, obviously. oh. All the guitars were recorded on an acoustic and then treated digitally because of circumstances. And I think they came out pretty damn good. [more inside]

For my 75th song, I picked one I wrote like 20 years ago. Psycho-folk song about rejecting mass media and embracing local community. Seems more relevant now than ever, and certainly a bit of a love song to this particular community, which has never gone the way of algorithmic walled-garden nor AIslop. Inspired by the title Cobain originally gave Radio Friendly Unit Shifter. Lyrics in fold. [more inside]

This is a data sonification of the amount of energy absorbed by the world's oceans between 1980 and 1989. For a given three-month period, if more energy was absorbed, the chord being played is denser and sparser if less was absorbed. The pitches are selected from the 11-limit tonality diamond.

A little trio for Frog (vibes), Toad (bass), and Crab (drums). It ends abruptly because it's intended to be looped - because I made it for Looptober last month.
