An album called “Steeldrums for Lovers” with very insane album art

Sometimes an album cover compels you to buy it in an almost primal way.

The thrilling conclusion to The Organizing Committee - have a listen!
And bonus points to Eryk for avoiding Spotify.

I knew it was absurd for computers to shout Situationist slogans about tech over noisy electropunk. The irony is intentional, like using (breaking) tech to critique tech. The natural evolution of a project “about AI” would be to use Gen AI, but the politics of the project make that impossible.

Keeping Secrets From The Numbers Presenting my latest and final album as The Organizing Committee. The new record, "Keeping Secrets From the Numbers," is available today on Bandcamp, and will be streaming on most platforms (aside fr...

Today you can stream (or buy!) my final album as The Organizing Committee. The tension of fusing tech-critical approaches to the tech they critique (and fusing that to noise pop) is far less tenable since I started in 2020. Here’s more on it. (No AI, btw!).

My last record as The Organizing Committee drops on Sunday. “Keeping Secrets From the Numbers.” It’s a banger. No AI.

tori amos calling her new lp “in times of dragons” totally calls for a feat. john darnielle

On his full-length debut, the 20-year-old pop artist makes vague, melancholy music defined by big feelings and unsubtle influences.

well, that sure sounds like a review that didn't absolutely need to be written

The Hidden Ingredients Behind AI’s Creativity Image generators are designed to mimic their training data, so where does their apparent creativity come from? A recent study suggests that it’s an inevitable by-product of their architecture.

New paper backs up what I & others have been saying for years, that “creativity” in image gen is a byproduct of noising / denoising. Calling it a remarkable discovery is strange to me! I go one further though: unwavering adherence to a process isn’t “creativity” at all. www.wired.com/story/resear...

chaotic good i guess?

as a sometime musician i only want & deserve inspired criticism 😇 but as a reader i like the wired option better because even when there's something antagonistic going, you might find yourself rooting for the music against the critic. (whereas with the tired dude it's all schadenfreude)
