Going into a public place (bar, restaurant, anything) without a mask in 2026: "I know #COVID still exists, and the #vaccines don't prevent #airborne viral transmission... but I'm still gonna do a little #eugenics, as a treat. I deserve it 😤"
So many people turned into science-denying literal anti-maskers after 2021. I'm starting to not care about distinguishing whether it's ignorance or malicious at this point, because it's still participating in the harm.
I was going to check out Luna Co. Audio's new plugins. They looked promising: an SSL style #EQ, a multi #compressor, + a tape emulator.
Their github is full of #claude #AI commits. These programs are full of #slop and I'm no longer considering installing them, no matter how useful they could be.
Anyway, I'll be sticking with ZL Audio's compressor & EQ: https://zl-audio.github.io/plugins/
They work on #Linux #Mac and #Windows and don't *appear* to be "vibe coded" from what I can tell.
Finding out Linus Torvalds builds guitar pedals as a hobby but doesn't care if they actually work because he doesn't play guitar, kinda explains the state of #LinuxAudio 😂
My official releases are now on #MusicBrainz (not a music platform, more like a database/wiki of music info)
You can actually listen to my #music on my #website https://erikaautumn.com (hand coded in #HTML & #CSS/no ads, trackers, etc) and most of my discography is pay what you want on #Bandcamp for #lossless quality.

It's #BandcampFriday (the day where #Bandcamp doesn't take a cut on purchases) which makes it the best day to support an #independent #musician
https://erikaautumn.bandcamp.com/
I write/produce various genres and I'll be extending the styles you hear in my already released #music to entire albums that are in progress. (huge undertaking, no ETA, but all support helps & motivates)

I'm not going to be getting any help with this anymore (my grandparents need to retire and my parents are transphobic AF) so this will be an ongoing need. Gov assistance doesn't cover all bills.
Goal met this time thank you!!!! Any further contributions will go to future electric bills.

imagine having the spoons 🫥
Here's a couple #songs I wrote & produced, sang & recorded, + mixed & mastered myself
https://erikaautumn.bandcamp.com/track/stay-with-me
https://erikaautumn.bandcamp.com/track/no-more
I made the #beats with royalty-free #loops, but the #bass and #drums were sequenced by hand in the #DAW, sometimes a #Casio #keyboard was involved. I also made the #artwork
I'm working on an #album of #music like this, just working out the #lyrics for the verses at this point mostly.

Somehow this is both my first #rap #song but my latest #release?
https://erikaautumn.bandcamp.com/track/freedom
This was the first #beat I ever made in 2012, with #lyrics I wrote in 2019 and #vocals I recorded on November 26, 2020.
I originally released it with autotune, but I took the autotune off and #remastered it in time to release the new version for the 5th year anniversary of #recording the vocals.

I cannot take this song seriously 😂
Poland by Lil Yachty #cover
you can hear how unserious this recording session was. it's the middle of the night so I was trying to be quiet too. maybe one day I'll actually try and make a good one? probably not... 🤣
