the scripting goes SO HARD even as the documentation is kinda mid, I'm having so much fun with it tho!
dvi-socialmode.bsky.social
did some more renoise phrase scripting experimentation, this time with chord generators that I can automate and transpose!

I can actually use these scripts in my regular musicmaking, which is sick

hard agree -- its a tossup for me between this one and the logo with the lashes, but also I think *a lot* about the Pony Canyon VHS intro www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtCT...

I say this a lot but this is truly one of the best things that's crossed my path in a good while. Game Watch only had two issues ever (as far as I can tell), and this is the rarer and more expensive of the two.

his first three albums remain beautiful, I love like most of his discography tbh

"A Wizard, A True Star" feels at least 20 years ahead of its time at points

tbf there are actually a lot of examples of musicians making multimedia experiences in the past ten years or so, but I guess none in that top 40 echelon if that makes sense!

that filtered slap bass is kinda insane and then the solo with the layered guitar and rompler sitar feels otherworldly

He also somehow listened to Skrillex and James Blake and channeled *that* into Accidental Ridge Racer in 2013, which confuses the hell out of me (those crystal stabs and sine arpeggios at 2:38 make me go insane for painfully obvious reasons)

His Accidental Ridge Racer era being absolute peak goes without saying, despite a questionable album cover

Todd Rundgren is actually my favorite culprit in both of these things, specifically because of his dabblings in Lightwave, his creation of Patronet and his release of No World Order in the early-mid 90s, which also had a full-on CD-i game for it -- he's the platonic ideal of Cyberdelia Boomer

such a depressing turn of events...honestly I'd also count Jim Carrey's 2000s personal page as an analog of sorts but that's yikes in its own way
dvi-socialmode.bsky.social
(also i'm not counting BowieNet and Omikron in all of this because those feel like their own things entirely and cyberdelia was well out of fashion by that point)

Arguably Bowie's Boomer Cyberdelia was less multimedia and more aesthetic, spreading across 1.Outside and Earthling's Enhanced "Earthling In The City" CD, but his Accidental Ridge Racer is definitively in Earthling, specifically in Dead Man Walking (which I love)

this era of bowie makes me think of two subgenres that I've coined for my own use:
-Boomer Cyberdelia (boomer musicians get really into CD-ROMs, Mondo 2000 and the web)
-Accidental Ridge Racer (boomer musicians get really into trance but use their old chord sensibilities so it comes out like VGM)
dvi-socialmode.bsky.social
Honestly learning Max/MSP would be really really good for this

Virtua is legitimately my fave revival of this vibe
dvi-socialmode.bsky.social
in a weird way I kinda love it, it reminds me of stuff like the Tenebrae mod for Quake where it was just Regular Quake With Normal Maps, but I think as a commercial product it doesn't feel so good

I love Deus Ex Remastered for PS3 upscaled on RPCS3

god same like...the original hardware is honestly important on an archival level and the color classic is kinda mid design-wise (I have a soft spot for it but I still prefer the 550 chassis and even moreso the Performa 5200)
dvi-socialmode.bsky.social
omg I had a Performa 550 too... I loved that machine to death
