Wanted to have a quick talk about my handle and artist name, rauðvik.
If you have a passing knowledge of Icelandic/Nordic languages, you‘ll see the root, "rauð-" in there, meaning "red."
"-vik" derived from the verb, "að víkja", one meaning of which is "to deviate from." /1

Blogs really need to remember that they don’t know everything. You’re in control of the industry because of the internet. Without the internet you don’t exist. I do. I don’t need wifi to record or mix. Promo is hard enough in an over saturated market. Be chill.

No, it really isn’t complicated at all.
Stephen King has written a shit-ton of books and stories.
You know how many of those have Pennywise in them? One (1).
Fuck off with this shit. It’s just contributing further to the dumbing-down of the human species, for whom I weep daily.

So here’s something fun and new I found out yesterday trying to download my source videos for YouTube from iCloud Photos yesterday…
The "most compatible" option downloads them in .mov format now instead of .mp4. 10 videos, the shortest of which was 19 minutes in length, totaled 24 fuckin GB.

A reminder: Spotify wrapped is, first and foremost, advertising for Spotify. If you want to *talk* (post) about what you've been listening to? I am ALL for that. But you don't need Spotify's advertising to do that.

You don;t have to support this shit. If you spend the $15 every month that this costs on thrift store DVDs, your quality of entertainment will probably improve AND you can take a month or two off here and there and still have something to watch.

Going back and listening to "MDCX" again just for fun while I meditate on my new patch to see if my brain comes up with any tweaks it needs.
What a goddamn album "MDCX" is!
"Kallistó" is obviously the standout with the bassoon involved, but "Evrópa" is a close second. Excellent pedal bass

Coming up to the finish line on this new #wavestate patch.
Explored a horrible dungeon in Elden Ring this morning to get me in the right frame of mind. It absolutely worked.
The Shaded Castle is terrible, but thanks for the inspiration, FromSoft

Progress on new #wavestate thing
I could leave it where it is and be happy, but I’ll work in the rest of the planned sounds tomorrow.
A minor… and it has a very dungeon atmosphere about it.
I’ve been playing non-stop Elden Ring though, so no surprise.

Tomorrow’s the day. I can think of no better gift than people picking up and listening to some of my #music on #Bandcamp

So hey, my birthday is coming up next week. I tend to be very low-key and quiet about it.
If you’d like to help me celebrate a year around our star, go listen to some of my #music. Follow me on #Bandcamp if you don’t already, and maybe buy yourself a thing or two.
