BTW: Here's the full 2hr 12min interview. (They apparently played a lot of 'Empire' which was an amazing DOS land conquer game using ASCII text. I played the heck out of that game.)

I learned how to write music on a ‘Polyend Tracker Mini’, which is a portable battery powered tracker that you can take with you and has everything to write music on the go. I’ve played with #ImpulseTracker some back in the DOS days so while learning the interface took an evening, I got most of a song written in about two days.
Very fun inspiration for experimentation! So here’s a quirky song inspired by #StarControl and the kind of theme songs they wrote for all the different races you can meet and really neatly communicated the feels of the kind of a society you were in contact with.
A chance to imagine a whole new first contact! https://aviancer.bandcamp.com/track/hailing-frequencies
I also swapped over to Bandcamp from SoundCloud after they opted everyone in on the whole AIGen training train, so I guess this is the launch of that also! All the #creativity! ❤️

I'd never learned the outcome of the battle between #Stardock / #BradWardell & #PaulReicheIII / #FrederickFord over the IP & trademark for one of my all-time favorite games, #StarControl.
Until today.

Why is there so much controversy around Scarlett Johansson's voice being used for AI assistants when we all really want the voice of the Ur-Quan?
