Wendy Carlos: The brilliant but lonely life of an electronic music pioneer

The musician helped create the Moog synthesizer and composed groundbreaking albums and film scores, but lived in seclusion for almost 10 years to hide her gender reassignment

I am so burned out and exhausted I just left the house with my night guard in.

It's not that I rolled out of bed and got out the door. I have eaten breakfast, journaled, made coffee, made my ablutions, dressed...

It's just that after brushing my teeth to leave the house, my brain must have thought "he needs more sleep", and then sabotaged me by pressing play on the "wash the night-time teeth and put them in".

Stages of getting into a new research thing

1. No one has thought of this
2. Oh, some people have, but it’s not exactly the same
3. Oh, it’s exactly the same
4. OMG, everyone already knows about this, but they all call it something different

"Truth be told, I’m not very good at describing my gender in any language. At the same time, I inhabit an identity that doesn’t make sense without words. It’s not inscribed in my body; I can’t point to a picture or a diagram. I’m not even sure if I’m the same gender, really, as other people who describe themselves as genderfluid, nonbinary, genderqueer. Maybe we’ve just reached for the same words to fend off the same uneasy questions."

What I Learned Traveling Through Central Asia as a Nonbinary Person

Navigating Eurasia as a nonbinary person helped me appreciate this journey without end.

"The closest way I can describe it is this: seeing somebody else’s AI art is like hearing the plot of someone else’s dream. Occasionally it’s fascinating. Often it’s dull. And for me, it’s almost never as much fun as experiencing the process."

(Adi Robertson, Seeing Other People’s AI Art Is Like Hearing Other People’s Dreams)

Seeing other people’s AI art is like hearing other people’s dreams

AI art and text generators are getting more popular, but as they improve, the results often aren’t that compelling to see — even when they’re fun to create.

“I use every experience, every breakup, every one-night stand, good and bad, to shape a character and shape of phrase in music. I don’t shy away from who I am. When I was a closeted gay man and not secure in who I was, I don’t feel I sang well. People could see — they didn’t know what it is — but they could feel it. Something was not right. Once I let that go, things were different. As soon as I was more open and free with who I was, I feel like I sang better. People started to receive my art and realize I had something to say. Being Black and my Black experience, growing up in church with my family in Miami, and being a gay man — I use all of those experiences in my music and my performance."

Vampire Weekend- S/T (2008)
Genre: Rock
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I think most of us can agree that this album was one of the best rock had to offer during the ‘00s. It wasn’t extravagant. It wasn’t pushing boundaries. It was just very clever indie rock with a heavy helping of Paul Simon influence. The Vampire Weekend never took themselves seriously, but they made extremely memorable ear worms on this debut. Great work!

Lots of folks warning that overreliance on AIs can lead to bias.

But that can sound a bit abstract, so let's just leave these examples here.

@vga256 mine fell off the roof of my car and was lost for a week and was then run over by my housemate a month later. It was so sturdy. And satisfying to use.
