Gold and silver burn my autumns

Milk and honey were their lies

Bemused a YT creator turned their whole brand into 'I'm GAY! which the algorithm totally loved it. New closet is being a 'gay creator', I don't hate the hustle but very wary.

In my case, I'm a hiker, musician, artist etc. who HAPPENS to be queer, non-binary, trans. Important part of who I am […]

"27 years in one video...I hope it makes sense. Lots of tears while making this, but I finished and then had a complete meltdown. I struggle as an artist to make work about this because I don't know if it makes it better or makes it worse? But I trust in the process, that making it and […]

[uk pol, Spam Labour email]

Spam from Andy Burnham asking me to join Labour? LOL.

Not sure how they got my address or if this is a scam.

I couldn't, cos I vote Green, not planning to change that.

Also asked my union to take me off automatic Labour membership after Starmer did his anti-left […]

RE: https://mastodon.au/@Bellingen/117352191191144035

They are a menace here in the UK as well....escooters and ebikes ridden at speed.

I have been in the middle of nowhere on a hiking trail and a twat arrives on one of those e-bikes pumping out music loud...at least the lyrcra blokes have to […]

Here's a classic acid house banger directly inspired by Lone's Vulcan Mill Acid - hence the name, the more acidic work of Squarepusher and by early piano acid house by the likes of Frankie Knuckles and Adonis in general.

Rave like it's 1988! […]

Annoying...went to pickup a parcel at a local "convenience" shop and was told they couldn't give it to me cos it was "closed" (they open til midnight, it was before 10pm).

Despite what EVRI says, they've invented all kinds of weird restrictions about when/how […]

Great video from Barry...It's not really really about Steven Bartlett - sorta....explaining the science of how social media works, para-social relationships, fame, YouTube...

...lots of stuff here that bugs me.

I mean I did it with that 'you want to be liked' comment!

Fame is a panoticon, and […]

For some reason people turn the Great Outdoors into their personal gym/Strava quest.

It's very strange...and as this guy found out, not how nature works. Learn to stop and read the weather, the signals nature gives you...slow down!

Don't ignore it or think it's some sort of movable pretty gym […]

"You want to be liked"

I never got why and how this is as an insult?

Field would have a Freud day, cos I am guessing the people who say that have an affected aura of disaffected disinterest but deep down desperately want to be liked..so hate that in others.

Hilarious thing is that was a […]

Moving but can confirm, used to work as a freelancer at White City. BBC is toxic inside, production is apparently OK but the other parts? *shudder*

My experience being a queer person (I didn't realise I was non-binary trans then) at the BBC is similar to Jen's. It's very cis, het, straight in […]

Questioned whether to post this - very different but it shows development as it's one of the first things I wrote.

It was meant to be early music but it changed drastically.

It has a sort of Ry Cooder 'Paris, Texas' vibe. Country meets shoe gaze & post rock, Nu gaze?

I dunno, I just work here […]

I have classical pretensions in my music making - not intentionally, but it slips out. It's very much beyond my pay grade! (And zero musical education).

Here we have early 20th century impressionism a la Debussy or Delius in drum and bass form, in an English garden on a summer's sunny day […]

I never monetised my secret channel - the mashup/Radio Clash podcast one, because I was worried about The Copyright Gods.

But it seems in 19 years they don't care (that channel started in 2007).

But YouTube is pulling up the drawbridge for eligibility early next year...so it would be good to […]

I love Davinci Resolve dearly, but it has probably one of the WORST keyframe UIs I've ever used. It fucking sucks, and just enrages me so much I usually try and do it without keyframes, Fusion/FX /transitions etc.

I've used MANY media apps that use keyframes over nearly 30 years: Premiere […]

Probably my favourite and best musical creation of recent times. This was fairly early on, and the first time I realised I was creating something more than random background muzak...

Very Advisory Circle/ Ghostbox/hauntology influenced and inspired by Mort Garson with Arp Odyssey & clock […]

Dubstep? Spy themes? Harmoniums?!

This is when I realised that some of the tracks I was creating went a bit beyond soundtracking a hiking video!

Both 'spyfunk' and dubstep versions and a beatless version too....

Going through photos 2017-2019 from my phone....

...and I was really proud of the garden. I took so many photos of it. All of these things, the lights, the plant pots etc. destroyed by my neighbours. Depressing and sad.

It's now a bit of a wasteland cos I won't […]

And here is the first of the new tunes used in the first Isle of Wight video.

I am a big fan of Vangelis, and here I am playing with the GX80 from Cherry Audio which is a combination of Yamaha CS-80 and the Yamaha GX both synths he made famous.

It seemed to work really well with the sunset […]

I took the ferry to the Isle of Wight to see if wild camping is actually possible there.

Heatwaves, amazing sunsets, forts & flat batteries, Gulag Holiday Parks, climbing groynes (now now!), closed paths, a cooking disaster...and a literal cliff-hanger camping on an eroding cliff edge!

It was […]

It's a shame this is so slow - 8 minutes per image on my M1 Mac!

The idea is great - make real images impossible or difficult to use for style training, but the thing is: artists don't usually have or can afford the fastest GPUs. The AI bros have those?
