I think it's inevitable at this point. I'm growing more accident prone/lucky by the day.

Heheh I had the same thought.

I misheard a Swans lyric as something way more interesting than it actually is.  Googled the line to see if someone else had used it.  It's such a simple yet strong lyric that I thought for sure someone had used it already... or misheard the Swans line the same way I did.  But no results!  So I'm going to use it in one of my own songs.

Now is the time for you and I to cut our blow together, yeah

All through the night

I'll save you from the terror on the screen, I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night

for the first time in my life, im moving flat prepared. 

i spent a month saving up 20 big, sturdy plastic veg delivery boxes from work

(ive also just noticed while looking for a picture that is actually 200 quids worth of plastic boxes. 

everything is neatly stacked and ready to move tommorow, i paid for a delivery van instead of a mates car, which usually takes 4 trips, ive already got my new flat keys, and ive got tommorow to move, and also tuesday to get everything set up and in place. 

every other time ive moved flat, its been the most disgusting, horrible experience possible. last time i actually had to move my stuff up the stairs myself between 12-2 am in 45 trips up and down 3 flights of stairs, i couldnt walk the next day. 

also, 80 quid to get a removal of 20 heavy boxes plus a digital piano? that is so cheap, i cant believe i used to busk it in peoples cars. i thought it would be like 300 quid.

I was thinking the same thing

At the Cannes Media and Corporate TV Award late last week three projects I've done the sound design and mix for ended up winning 5 awards (including best documentary and best social media/short film). Pretty fucking awesome.

Purchasing a new home and everything is magically falling into place even though odds were stacked against us. 

Our first house sold, the buyers cleared their conditions early, and the house we put an offer in on had a massive price reduction + the family selling to us agreed to basically a month from now as a possession day despite them having 3 kids and their new house isn't built yet. 

We were in a precarious position as our existing home had already sold, and we knew our buying conditions were hard to meet. If the buying end didn't go through we would have been homeless.

But somehow it worked. =)

^^ congrats.  i hope it continues to be a smooth process.

didn't kill anyone today, yet

thx guys! It was pretty stressful for a bit there, we weren't sure what was going to happen. 

Sigh of relief*

He's currently texting while driving backwards on the highway. It's a feat worthy of this thread, imo.

reworked my gear and lost track of how it's all actually working and so music is happening without me almost and bubbling up from the machines and it's a pretty great feeling

doubt anything i've recorded so far will be used for anything but the concepts are there and the sounds when good are like, really good. 

good feelingz m8s

also got a (good) job and will be moving and stuff v soon so that's cool too but the good vibez re: music is the important part of this post

There's nothing better than finding the PERFECT impulse response for a scene... hnnnnghhh...

I made it to work despite being sick as a dog. Time to start the pandemic.

Hopefully my next post will be: "Successfully started a pandemic!  "

Guillermo del Toro just retweeted some work in progress animations for the next video game I'll be working on. Needless to say, the tweet blew the fuck up.

That is really cool though. Nice one.

Hot damn, that's a nice endorsement.

i like the sound work on that one

I wrote an ambient piece for an AI art installation that's at IBM headquarters right now, so if you happen in there you will hear some of my music :)
