I don’t get to say this much but I’m tremendously proud to be a part of such an important and beautiful institution like Sesame Street. This weekend I’ve met folks in person I’ve been working with for so long and have only ever talked through a computer screen or through the speaker of a phone. People’s whose work I respect and admire so greatly. A few of them of them were honored tonight and I congratulate them all. To work with Sesame Workshop and to play just a small part in such a grand design is an honor, a privilege, and a great point of pride in my little life. And thank you to my friends and colleagues at Sound Lounge, you make coming to work a joy, an inspiration, and worth all of the yelling that I do at my computer. As they say, it’s an honor just to be nominated. Thank you all.
took a nap for longer than I expected so that clearly means it's time to post some images
Callie's Surprise 30th + a day at Jacob Riis :)
1/10 Ektar H35, Kodak Ultramax 400
10/20 Yashica Mat 124G, Kodak Ektar 100
(please don't ask me how I got the arrows and markings to show up on some of these, I have no idea but they are objectively cool)
@char_char_sliiide lent me a Holga, a toy medium format camera that I have heard so much about but have never actually used before. Turns out: I fuck with it! Very much so! I love the vignetting around the edges and the plastic lens is surprisingly sharp? what a sick little object
images also happy pride
(also if I may crash out for a quick sec, why the fuck does this app not allow you post mixed aspect ratios anymore; absolutely insane that I had to put borders on pictures that I took two seconds to snap just so I can see the whole thing uncropped, something bad should happen to Mark Zuckerbug)
I don't need to justify any of these images with a caption, you can't make me!
although now that I think about it I have been on a lot of trains lately (nice)
if you have met me in person, you might not see me as a very outdoorsy person. you are right. however, I do occasionally like to be outside and soak in the wild blue and green yonder, so here's some photos of that
thank you to @woodstocksanctuary and @frederickfarmgoats for making our trip extra special by introducing us to some new friends and teaching us all about them 🥰
also thank you to the bees that I recorded at Mohonk Preserve, I love you bees
(WARNING: loud bullshit, do not say I didn't warn you)
back on my quest to make annoying and fucked up sounds

been playing around a lot with no input mixing techniques and having lots of fun making some wild digital sounds. for the uninitiated, no input mixing, pioneered by Toshimaru Nakamura, is a technique involving purposefully creating a feedback loop within an audio device (boards, pedals, anything with an in and out) and then shaping and manipulating that feedback into all sort of sounds. You can get stable oscillators, LFOs, subharmonic distortion. In essence, it's a synthesizer. But a synth that just happens to have no additional input running through it. My setup does have a toneplug so that technically counts as an input but that blends in so well with other stuff that I'm giving it a pass.
If you're interested in this sort of thing, DM me and I can talk all about getting into it and what you might need
Happy to announce that you will be able to see David Again at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. I'm very proud of the work I did on it and it's a point of pride for me to work on something that I can only describe as a capital N New York story. If you are fortunate enough to attend, please check it out but if you can't, look out for it in the future. Much love to you all and thanks to @cminusproductions for his continued support, beautiful storytelling, and his amazing work on a captivating doc.
