What's everyone's favorite vocal mic? I have a Charter Oak E700 which I love the sound of but it's a FET and it distorts at high source volumes. I had a Manley Ref C but thought it was too bright. Love a vintage C12 but too expensive, and heard the re-issue was really dark.

It has taken me far too long to realize that in my own work i can... do whatever i want. don't want to write lyrics for a full song? just write a few lines. live to sing but not totally sure about it? sing anyway. the novelty lasts forever. i love making music.

musicians: what's the term for drum programming when all the drums are in the same choke group? meaning, the whole kit is monophonic. i saw it somewhere a few weeks ago and can't remember

Something that’s crazy is how hyperballad is still the best song ever written

PSA for any musicians contacted by a company called "Polar Star Productions" re: track licensing. They are running the "bad check" scam. Super elaborate and most legit-seeming scam I've seen until... I saw their contract lol. Be careful out there!

Just an idea for any filmmakers - more movies could use a cat bus, so put one of those in your movie

It's 0 degrees in Chicago. Throwback to a lovely summer day, feeling joyful, warm and grateful when I decided to cover this right before an epic trip into the Canadian wilderness

When I started going grey, I started bringing pictures of David Lynch to my barber as a reference for the style I wanted.

David Lynch knew how to tell the truth. Something that is really hard to do, even though it sounds like it should be easy. I will forever be in awe of his work and his spirit.

Hyper Light Breaker is out today. Me and @joelcorelitz.bsky.social took the job of making Hyper Light music VERY seriously. I'm unbelievably proud of where we've taken it. Grab it now: store.steampowered.com/app/1534840/...

"I composed music for the #1 game on Steam" isn't something I expect to be able to say very often in my life. But @troupe.bsky.social and I can today. There's a lot left to do on Breaker, but this feels great. Congrats to the whole team at Heart Machine.

3 years ago today, @troupe.bsky.social and I started talking to @heartmachine.bsky.social about a soundtrack for Hyper Light Breaker that would honor and reinvent the sound of its predecessor. Today, it's out on Steam Early Access. There’s a lot left to do, but I hope you love it. Congrats to all!

Getting absolutely wrecked by a final boss in a video game and it's bugging me more than it should. I should just turn the difficulty down, but the rest of the game felt manageable, and wins felt earned - so I am still feeling too stubborn

Insane that the final boss in Nine Sols is like… 10x? Harder than anything else in the game?

Nine Sols is incredible. Been working my way through it. Even the hardest boss fights are fun without being frustrating - I feel like I learn something every time I lose until I’m good enough to win. Masterfully designed and super satisfying.

I saw Stereophonic and I am SUPER curious what other musicians that saw it thought of it
