Continuing on the reflection this weeks upcoming live production has spurred...
In the set list is a song originally from 1992. Young controlfreak had part time access to others' samplers and I needed more!
I worked 80 hours per week at three jobs to get my own first sampler. A brand new emax II with what I recall was an "expanded" 2MB of RAM! What absolute tanks they were to tour with.
One of the first tracks I built with it was called k-otic and had Emergency Broadcast Network style hack and chop out of context voice samples.
Then in 94 it got lyrics for touring.
Then in 97 it got different lyrics for another vocalist.
Then hibernation through my CD era.
Now in 2026 it has been rebuilt for the REGENERATE EP project and this concert. Working on new material with my writing partner from that 94 era of tracks has me super chuffed to be performing multiple revitalised versions of old stuff that we don't hate all this time later. Pretty cool.
I'm pretty vaguely open that I can't do anything musical or adjacent tech in public due to health and the time, health and resource to be able to oontz and share it is an extreme challenge.
So I do manage a smile when I can fight hard enough to make real "If I wake up tomorrow I am making music with friends."
Anywho, if you don't look at the post above, hope to see you at the https://control.org presents cycles '92-'27 in concert.

It has been an massive job rebuilding the micro black box theatre, new tracks, prepping tracks that have never been performed live every on the almost 35 years, heaps of new backing video, heaps of hacking and taping decrepit gear. But hey, wiring on the floor of my lounge is way better than nasty club stages.
Lace upon your boots for a good cathartic stomp. Some dystopian rage. And a few laughs.

I'm after some spoken word for the new album called ERADICATE. Thought I would put it out there to see if anyone is keen to voice some things we already have or maybe offer some writing others might voice.
There are a couple projects in play from horror goth hop, to atmospheric, to more trance-esque. Low stress, length not importatnt. Could end up a single word or phrase cut intro a rhythm or a disjointed conversation or a narrative.
Themes are as absolutely dark and grim as you would like. Beauty in the darkness. Damn the man. Hack the planet.
Important:
- don't punch down
- ok with getting remixed and glitched
Not important:
-language, voice, timbre, recording quality, length
DM if you are keen to offer some voice or words.

A little behind the music and breaking the fourth and well third wall too of my ragtag micro black box theatre in the lounge. Here are my battle stations for the big retrospective concert under house lights.

Brand new upcoming tracks, something from every album, the cassette era re-worked and tracks never before performed live, celebrating 35 years of the darker side of the disco.
I've been reflecting a lot over the past 6+ weeks building this show. Which makes sense given the theme and the reworking of quite old material. Working with my writing partner from the 90s on new album material to debut has been a vibe. It's no comfort that our artistic response to the world then was so fucking grim and macabre and that absolutely nothing has gotten better since. oof.
But there is something positive in the process of doing, building, and the fuel to keep fighting at least at the micro level. I'm not sure what the feeling is called but there have been a few moments at the mixing desk and on the practice stage where I felt a little ping of something that isn't just the usual pain or total dread. Odd. There is beauty in the darkness and all but fuck sake maybe an occasional ping of, I don't want to call it joy, but something like that is just fine. It's no joke when I invite you to lace up your boots and join me for a cathartic stomp. Let's shake up the neighbours and be positively angry TOGETHER!
stomp in solidarity.

Friends of the dark disco and the curious, let's alike assemble for a good cathartic stomp.

Be a part of the running chat lore of the shows such as, how many cymbals exist and have been struck, what beverage will spill, why is his phone on the snare?, I didn't know this was also a protest...

I'm so happy with #KDE on my laptop, that I've decided to resign from my custom environment and install it on my desktop too.
Thanks KDE! ❤️
But from the start:
I've updated my desktop and noticed that Noctalia shell stopped working. After some investigation I've found that there is new package in official Arch's repo but with version 5 (I was using 4 before), so after update everything changed and I've lost my custom config… I was not really modding my custom environment, since long-long time I've just checked if there is Gruvbox color scheme for the new stuff and slapped it on. I'm no longer spending my whole time tweaking my computer. I prefer doing something more productive nowadays. So, after losing part of my config, I had 0 motivation to remake it.
And of course neither niri nor Noctalia bans LLMs… There are some non-slop Wayland compositors (sway and river AFAIK), but I'm not very happy with how they function, and migrating would require doing some config stuff again.
So, I've done some soul searching. Originally I've moved to window manages because I wanted separate workspaces per screen, which is the killer feature for me, and none of major DEs that time supported it.
But now Plasma has it 🤔
So, fuck it! I want to use my computer to do other stuff than unixporn. Having KDE community working together and making my computer better is big advantage. I used to be individualists and liked doing everything by myself how I wanted it. So, mix-matching my custom environment allowed me to be a weird control freak. But today I'm busy and I eyeing my own game project, so I neither have time nor will to work on tweaking my own custom environment, I want something that just works and allows me to spend my time on something else.
And using KDE Plasma on my laptop proven me that it is super nice!
Sorry for incoherent rambling 😅 I'm already tired today.
