NO CD by Loyle Carner
Jello Biafra’s Record Collection
I have a really hard time being patient with people who get locked into one era, “Oh there’s no good music after the grunge era, there’s no good music after the sixties.”
Wrong people, you want that energy you liked as a kid? Put down that needle, leave your home and go see somebody new and random. You neve know what’s going to happen to you.
Interview continues here.
But overall I think the best era for music is right now. And the reason I do is because everything is available. Everything. Imagine trying to find fresh rockabilly records in 1975. It’s not like that anymore.
Animated Journal: Sad Clangers
Yes, I’ve been posting these small animated “Viney” loops on IG & SC Stories, but obviously they only play once there then they’re gone. Not substantial enough for YouTube or Vimeo so posting them on Instagram for evergreen seems to be the way.
Maybe once I’ve got a set I should put them into a full sequence similar to the first Animated Journal.
I’ll continue to blog them here as and when I update, in the meantime follow me on Snapchat or Instagram to get more instant updates.
Audio AR/VR
I still think that a purely audio version of AR and VR has the potential to become a huge deal, way more than current tracking seems to suggest.
Imagine having the audio of this working whilst you walk around the modern city, and it interacting as you move
