24week16 - sBach and the LatentScape

240421

We went to the exposition Sound System Culture at Bethanien. Saw a noisy performance which almost destroyed our ears, but it was worth it.

Entered the rabbit hole of Spencer Seim↗ and I spent way too much time that I would admit looping at his sBach↗ project.

I am also listening Still House Plants↗ quite a lot these days.

I dont remember how I ended up in this LantentScape↗ nor that I care. Please explain me what its about.

Mars After Midnight

Return of the Obra Dinn↗ is probably one of the best experiences I had ever have playing a videogame. The art style, the hard puzzles and all the secrets that the history hides. It was also nice cos I played this solo game with friends, so the experience was even cooler. Nothing better than struggling with other brains.

Anyway, I wrote this post to mention the new game from Lucas Pope↗ the creator of the Obra. Its called Mars After Midnight↗ I dont own a Playdate↗ so I wont be able to play it. But the art looks awesome and the approach sounds (too) similar to another of his gems; Papers Please↗

Contemporánea - Un diccionario sonoro

A so-called ‘sound dictionary’ that dives deep into the most relevant names shaping contemporary music. You can feel the passion and dedication poured into this project. It’s an inspiring resource, perfect for discovering new ideas or revisiting familiar ones. Definitely saving this to explore it bit by bit.

AI image generators

Here comes another opinion on using or not these generators, but most importantly, on how we should take advantage of them. Nevertheless, I’m still struggling to create a solid opinion, so hopefully, this text helps position me better and clarify my thoughts.

First and sadly, I support the current overall rejection as the main use is focused on lazy replicating rather than creating. The widespread use of these generators is horrendous in both ethical and aesthetic terms.

Let’s go for the big ‘buts’.

ZineFest at Subaermarkt

I visited for the first time this sweet fest at Subaemarkt where artists and illustrators show and sell their gems.

This is my loot; a magazine, some cool illustrations and toon of stickers. I will definetily keep an eye on it for further editions.

Just a blooper from a quick thing for testing the Blender-Unity workflow without exporting to .fbx. Please continue, nothing to see here.
