What I'm listening to today: "18 12 2025 Techno jam", RM1_music

One Syntakt sequencer, one Microfreak synthesizer, one phone camera and an immaculate live techno set spanning 3 or 4 distinct "songs" over 12 minutes. The world is full of people who can just sit down with two plastic boxes and dash off a performance like this. I have listened to this like 4 or 5 times since it was posted, which makes me like 10-15% of its 41 views on Youtube

Excellent "background music".

Not sure how many people on here are doing audio stuff with Unreal, but I've updated my Unreal Audio Components diagram to include Sound Concurrency assets.

PDF here: https://github.com/NiallMoody/Audio-Programming-Resources/blob/main/Unreal/exported/UE5%20Audio%20Schematic%20-%20New.pdf

(if you download it the pdf has clickable links for every component)

Myself and Susie Buchan created an unsettling corporate wellness-themed workshop/performance(?) that was one of my favourite things I did last year.

Oh hey, last year myself and a bunch of biome collective folk did a big exquisite corpse game jam, and we've just uploaded all the games in an anthology on itch: https://biomecollective.itch.io/biome-exquisite-corpse-game-jam-2024

Found an enormous nest made by Ermine Silk Moth larvae, covering two trees and all the gravestones around them.
