(to explain in case it's non-obvious: 'from scratch' means going on stage with an empty project file. livecoders do it a lot, i love to watch it, benny wasn't exactly designed with that in mind but it's fast and flowy and i'll see how far i get..)

can't wait for this, pattern-based music being my favourite thing.. + nervous excitement: i'm going to try a 'from scratch' kind of set using benny...

We are huge fans of the @cosmicchambo.bsky.social podcast so I'm pretty chuffed that something from the new @jamesholden.bsky.social & Zimpel album made it into his latest mix>>

i'll be doing a brief talk on benny (what is it? why does it exist?) at the london creative code meetup next month:

I wrote about @jamesholden.bsky.social and Wacław Zimpel's phenomenal new album for @bordercommunity.bsky.social, the aptly named The Universe Will Take Care of You pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Thanks for the reassurance @jamesholden.bsky.social - yourself, Mr Zimpel and the postman certainly are 😀

Et il le prouve encore une fois… s’en est presque lassant.
Trop de talent, ça m’épuise.
Merci @jamesholden.bsky.social pour toutes ces belles textures jouissives 💦
