Surprising find the other day.
Ableton Live 12.4 is out today. :) Includes support for steaming audio between devices, updates to some audio effects, and a new Learn view, amongst others! https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/live-12-4-is-out-now/
Skullphone appreciation post.
Gotta say I like this one. @photodisc@critters.gay https://critters.gay/notes/aky0zog9caiv01wr
Had a great time visiting the Mastering Type pop-up exhibition today at Kulturforum (https://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/kunstbibliothek/exhibitions/detail/mastering-type/). Getting that IRL design inspiration!
“It can observe that designers are burning out and leaving. But it cannot follow these observations to the conclusion they demand, which is that the institutional arrangements within which design operates are configured to extract design's value while withholding design's autonomy and authority, and that no amount of individual skill development will change the configuration.”
I found this article by Angelos Arnis about current commercial design practices incredibly eye opening. Highly recommended for design-adjacent roles as well: https://collectivefutures.blog/design-was-never-the-bottleneck/
"Good design is aesthetic, it's functional, and it's economical. And inevitably it has a moral (or immoral) effect. Design shapes the way we see, think, interact with, and shape the world. Every object, every system, every interaction reflects and perpetuates the values that shaped it.” @reichenstein@mastodon.social @reichenstein@mastodon.social
Nice musical collaboration between Jan Jelinek and Alan Abrahams coming up. Very much enjoying this particular track: https://alanabrahamsjanjelinek.bandcamp.com/track/all-one. All lo-fi fizz, sparse beats, ambiguous vocal murmurs, and warbly synths. #theStudio
New Bill Callahan is out. My all-time favorite music guy. His new albums usually require a few listens for me to really get familiar, but this nice little track stood out immediately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=0FvJrgDpjHoOMTow&v=m_hgGVJsjfU&feature=youtu.be. #theStudio

@adelfaure@mastodon.art Beautiful. Would love to hear sometime about how you create your color palettes.
New release at the day job for aspiring music makers — https://learn.ableton.com Hopefully valuable to beginners, but also to those mostly self-taught like me with many gaps to fill. Soft launch today with more to come!
