Breaking in these gnarly new (lightly used German surplus that is) boots. It's a nice day to wear black and look ππππππππππ.

Winter Olympics is wayyyy better and superior to that stupid suberbowl, lmao. F*CK Sub3rB0WL. D34TH to overconsumption and cringy infantilizing overprised commercials. Get into real sports, support your team at Olympic/Paraolympic games. Get real and divest your culture from 4m3r1c4.
Devastating news came in early morning today. My friend and a fellow underground electronic musician Mark Sousa has passed away. This feels unreal and heart-wrenching.
An excellent musician and a great person gone too soon and so suddenly. I had a pleasure and privilege to perform live with Mark and open for his fantastic futurepop/synthpop band Voicecoil in fall of 2022. We have played in Calgary at The Palomino and the Grindstone Comedy Theatre & Bistro.
Voicecoil performances, sound and live delivery really did hit me with distinctly tense-yet-beautiful futurepop sequenced synth melody layers and soft powerful vocals on top. That really took me back to peak days of late 2000s synth vibes in the most visceral and visual way. These vaguely Nord- and Acces Virus-esque synthscapes enveloped me. Thank you for that, homie.
I recall having great conversations and bonding on that mini tour. Mark has given me some great vocal routing and live patchbay advice. Thank you for that, friend. I really wish our musical paths crossed more often. I have never sent you the synth drones we discussed and i am sorry.
His creative outputs were Voicecoil and Gravity Corps. Please give these acts a listen as to honour and support Mark's legacy.
RIP @voicecoilmusic
