“My music of today is so much based on the new musical technology. We use the technology as a material for our musical art”
-- Igor Stravinsky, 1957

I'm here to talk about composing (orchestral, folk, contemporary methods), ethnomusicology, jaw harp/khomus, modular synths, fingerstyle guitar, extended bass guitar techniques, live coding, a bit of data science (get plenty of that in my day job though) and occasionally fighting games/fgc. Lets go!
Data Scientist thoughts:

Language maps thought, not reality. Mapping fictional land doesn’t create it. Language models simulate language, not thought. The thoughts their language could map never existed. The model optimizes for the most plausible map of theoretical thoughts, not actual cognition.

I composed and produced the music for this with live code, generated the sound with an analogue synth and 90s rompler and we tracked the vocals and khomus in our flat :)

Hopefully I will see less politics on here the more I get into it. I'm here for arts and science, keep the rest out of my line of sight.
