Our team at Skywalker Sound had a great time working on this for ILM. For me, it was such a joy to also implement the incredible score by Clark Rhee and Joe Trapanese. From surf/rockabilly guitar to remixing the Imperial March, they did a killer job forging new musical ground.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Oof. You might be right.

Yup. Got to know Tom and Cindy. Bought a Zorks ribbon controller there.

Flashback: Buying some Schlappi Engineering goodness in Control Voltage, Portland, OR, 2019. Was driving up to play at the Velocity festival in Seattle. Good times, saw so many friends. Miss y'all. #eurorack #livemusic

I will need an explanation of your question before responding.

Lassen Volcanic National Park, just to Shasta’s southeast. Spent a lot of time in Hat Creek Valley as well, part of Lassen National Forest.

Finally back from a much needed vacation in the southern Cascades, despite delays and setbacks due to weather. Mostly for exercise and exploration, but still captured about 12 hours of nature recordings.

Ambience recording with loads of detail clocking in at only -59 LUFS and I ain't even mad. #fieldrecording #sounddesign

Truth.

Exactly. Especially airplanes. Almost nowhere on our planet can you go 15 minutes or more without hearing anthropophony. Such spots exist but are getting rarer by the year. (Recommended read: “One Square Inch of Silence,” Gordon Hempton)

The persistence and perseverance of life on this planet is nothing short of astonishing.

Excited – and sad – to say that I've reached a new personal best: 24 contiguous minutes of wilderness recording without a single airplane or vehicle sound.

😍, but also, 😢.

It’s more like climbing 700’ in 1/4 mile on the nastiest sand dune ever. Coming down is 100% controller sliding. (Trail is 30-35% grade.) The top, though…)

That’s Cinder Cone (we hiked to the top, pretty brutal) at Lassen Volcanic National Park, near Butte Lake.

Largely on vacation, but when the opportunity comes around, sometimes you’ve just got to… #fieldrecording #sounddesign
