Here it is folks, I really, really, really need your help, especially with boosting/spreading the word, so this can "escape" out of containment.

Please remember there is no algorithm boost here, so every repost counts

Thank you

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Inspired by Nathan Smith's Foley Flinger 1000, my dad made a really nice wood version. Can't wait to make some whooshes now :)

feel like we've got a reverse Ship of Theseus sort of situation here. we're slowly working towards a true Kit Kat with each Kit Kat that's been made.

well after 2 years of trying, still no regular contract work for me I guess

anyways, I have immediate availability, and more importantly I urgently need to make money to avoid homelessness, so I appreciate any boosts, shares, etc. and available for all kinds of projects

so I want to do an art sound project. I've seen some great installations lately. now I don't have the means/connections to make an installation (at least not yet) but as a start I'd like to do a software thing. fairly obviously I'm pretty good with Fmod and can create something within that.
