I live in Columbus and work for nonprofits. I also play music. cbusambientmusicclub.org
I recently launched the Columbus Ambient Music Club. This is an effort to connect with others in central Ohio who like drones, beeps and bloops. Follow along at cbusambientmusicclub.org

I'm looking to connect with any central Ohio folks who are into ambient music. This is just a feeler to see if I get any engagement here as I work on things behind the scenes.

the most irritating thing is that Microsoft refuses to take "no" as enough with this shit. every couple weeks i re open Word and i have to say no to copilot again, or I get prompted to enable it when doing something else on my machine

leave me the fuck alone, @microsoft.com
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Music is not fixed or rigid. A song can be adapted across any number of genres or styles if you strip it down to the essentials. This flexibility is what makes music fun, but it can also present a challenge for those who struggle to adapt.

I released my most recent album on Bandcamp. This one is very noisy and not very musical. I was trying to capture a feeling I was having regularly. brianwhitacre.bandcamp.com/album/tensio... #noise #noisemusic #columbusoh #columbusmusic #columbusnoise

I realized I should probably change my profile pic to my face but I didn't want the original to be lost to the winds. I saw this statue in #DodgeCity and knew I'd want to remember it for the remainder of my life. Emma for scale.

I wrote and recorded a quick tune. It's up on my #Bandcamp page.

Green is better than Out Of Time, yeah I said it.

1. Orange Crush is better than any song on Out Of Time
2. No song on Green is as bad as Radio Song or Shiny Happy People
3. Endgame is R.E.M.'s most forgettable instrumental
4. In fact, the best song on Out Of Time is sung by Mike Mills
5. POPSONG89
I was never the biggest fan of Green (a/k/a the Peter Buck found a mandolin album), but Orange Crush's rhythm section goes hard.
