The rumors are true: I finished season 3 of Burn Notice

Another visit to The Met, another gallery I didn’t know existed! This time it was 743, Louis Comfort Tiffany. I liked it.

Great news, I finished season 2 of Burn Notice

Burn Notice: A Good Show

I added a little more context and organization to my music page. I've been playing and sharing live long-form jams consistently for a month now!

This live set by JD3 is just so perfect. The instrumentation, the subtle progressions, the transitions between tunes—it's all exactly what I want to eventually be able to accomplish in my own electronic live sets.

A year ago today I uploaded Walkers, which was my first real attempt at creating a song. A lot has happened since then! It's all on my Music page.

Today, here's Pepcumber, a neo-soul/trip hop jam that I improvised live last night on Instagram.

I haven't really been writing about my musical journey but I think maybe I should take more notes.

Tultywits: talk of and use the little things you want to survive. I try!

A good source of inspiration: a list of winners of the short-lived Grammy Award for Best R&B Instrumental Performance

Note to self, for future patching: Synthesizing Brass Instruments

Every month or so I have to decide if I'm going to buy a new MIDI sequencer or work on the one I started building. After last week's OP-Z jam, I think I have enough desires to pick the latter again!

I’ve spent the last few hours listening to the same four-bar house loop while tweaking a visualization for a DJ set. Feels like 2009 again!

I spent a lot—like, a lot of time playing with VCV Rack this weekend. I've been worried for my wallet about diving into modular synths but having a free software platform seems to satiate me for now! I've made a few patches and found that the Beatstep Pro is the perfect tactile companion to the many available modules. Here's my first patch!

It's a strange feeling to find one's new canon two decades after it was published: Hypertext Gardens (↬ Liam)

“You don’t know anything about The Lion King” is perhaps the harshest thing anyone has ever said to me

Putting this into the universe because I don't want to have to build it myself but so help me I will:

A native-app WYSIWYG HTML editor with FTP support that recognizes repeatable content within a page (like sections) or across pages (like a footer). Minimal design controls—maybe just basic typography—but allows non-web devs to keep copy on a static brochure-style website up to date and does not impose a build system.

Here is what I’d do: I would drink coffee, and the twist is, I would also walk outside. That was the whole thing.
