  • not pagan?

    came in expecting discussions of idolatry, enchantment, divination, etc. barely if any mention of these topics. thought the episode about amulets would be a course correction, turns out it was just some dude’s name. they seem like nice guys and the music is okay, just probably not into Baal or anything :/

Tom Cosm and the Nintendo Game Boy
Q: Tom, can you tell us about your object for today?
My object is the Nintendo Game Boy, which has a significant place in my journey as an electronic musician.
Sunlight
Q: Which one, Sunlight or Dark Star, do you just not want to play after going hard into creating what they are now?
Sunlight has more surprises than Darkstar, so in that way, it's a little more fun.
Sunlight
Q: Have you ever looked at something and stopped to consider, did you push it too far?
I can't really think of that. It's more often that it's like, within... there's a lot of could ofs...
Bathing
Q: Dan, when I saw you at the beginning of this process, which was, I think the day after you had a working build, you were telling me about how you were really happy to re-approach this algorithm, having a lot more mastery over the digital domain than when you originally made Dweller. Can you talk about that?
It was fun because I get to be like, I don't know how limited I am in terms of stages, but 12 sounds really good, and I was like, I built Darkstar and then Black Fountain on top of that and was working on another prototype and then redirected to doing Bathing.
The Black Fountain Special
Q: What kind of oil do you reckon would be cool for different tones?
Olive oil, coconut oil, or even old frying oil could resonate different tones when used in an oil can delay.
