I am going to start being more aggressive with accounts I think are responding via bots of any kind, LLM or otherwise. That shit is unacceptable, and frankly, if I mistake a human for a bot, it probably says more about the way the human is acting than it does about me.
Going Live Now!
My Sound Design Sundays stream returns today! We're back on the Sketch to Song train. Today we're looking at maybe, possibly, finishing things up! Probably not, but I can dream...

Oof, a rough one! Technical difficulties with audio for the first 30 mins! A looong digression into ranting about various Bastards of the Music YouTube World! But ALSO some good discussion on the role of timbre in modern music and even a little bit of progress on the track!
Sunday is a great day for new music. Try this set of Other People's Music -- this one offers passionate takes on esoteric instrumental hip hop, gaming music, instrumental rock with an electronic twist, dramatic synthpop & textured IDM weirdness.

Going Live NOW!
So, Wednesday afternoons are increasingly no longer a great time for me to stream. And, honestly, I am not sure they were ever a great time for an audience (tho I deeply appreciate the crew that makes it nearly every week!).
So the question becomes, when? Let's poll!
When should I stream my sound design/music production videos?
