Good grief. made a pot of tea that's sticking to even my ribs (and my ribs are quite accustomed to tea you could stand a spoon up in).

Hey internet! I've been working on a mega blog, going behind the scenes of how I made and 'played' the @beyondtellerrand.com titles! Put the kettle on and settle down for a good ol' read: https://blog.jam-factory.com/behind-the-scenes-beyond-tellerrand-2025-title-sequence/

Before reading this classic on robots and machines I had no idea it was a series of nine short stories. Of course the Will Smith film has absolutely nothing to do with the book except a borrowed title and a character name.

“This is not mixing!”

@danworrall is back and reviews an over-marketed AI-powered channel strip audio plugin that claims to do the hard work for you so that “you’ll effortlessly get your mixes spot-on 100% of the time”…

Alright, so … websites.

Hope’s box opens wide

This weekend I dived deeper into my love of audio / visual stuff and built a DMX light ‘rig’ out of LEGO bricks! I’m rubbish at this stuff but very much enjoying just finding a way - *any* way - to bring it to life!

I am fully in-love with the new extended version of the latest Linkin Park album, with this track on it. It scratches every itch for me of 2000's-esque riffs, catchy hooks, rad screams and glitchy production. Hell of a comeback too, bravo LP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-laQtaLjE
