    Europe and the Future of Politics

    trauma is a big aspect of some societies. in rwanda it's pretty obvious, it's all very subdued. you see come through in a thousand ways in afghanistan. it's longer ago but you can see threads of it still in europe i think, especially in the countries where the fighting was most intense

    Europe and the Future of Politics

    it's all died down in nyc, it's all ran out of steam, people have by and large moved on to the next thing. the sticker wars are over. the pro-israel billboards are gone. it's summer and i haven't ran into a single protest. people aren't mentioning it. everyone's moved on to domestic concerns...

    looks like we're in a moment of left-wing violence. this one, luigi, and the trump assassination attempt. it's been a while.

    what's your favourite cheesy 90s hit

    i like this topic. i think one sound that you don't hear before the millenium, or at least not much, is pitch correction. i'm not a producer so idk but 90s tunes have voices that sound less enhanced. probably the meta-answer is sounds that are made outside of DAWs.

    what's your favourite cheesy 90s hit

    I’d draw the line at books coz thats a purely solo activity. films and music you get exposed to. and it’s all interesting as well. films in particular there’s always something you can get out of them. they’re navigation tools I think.

    what's your favourite cheesy 90s hit

    dido picks up a lot of these strands but by the early 00s that vocal production thing where they sound like they're yawning is all over it, late 90s pop is much crisper. and with dido you get this turn towards introspection and consideration and life advice. she's very therapy inflected...

    Poems over tunes

    well sort of, it's literally one take, the first take, and it's other people's music and someone else speaking so. it is kind of interesting that i can do something like that and it's more to my taste than nearly everything else i've found in this vein

    more or less an IDM drum palette on the drums. production sounds like loads of d&b of the time
