i aspire to be the Four Tet to the Fred again / Skrillex in my professional / personal relationships moving forward. sowing tasteful chaos at every opportunity.
voice AI has scary sides to it, but creatively i think it'll also create a space for people and artists to explore and express sides of themselves they otherwise thought they could never access. a new approach to building an alter ego.
thinking back to this excellent piece/thread
Think about the most confident person you know. They probably have an alter ego.
I decided to explore this weird psychological crutch Beyonce, Adele, Rowan Atkinson, LeBron James, and many others use to boost their confidence.

We touch on the failure of the collective memory of music tech, which may be a good thing, and how incentives, as always, really do matter—particularly when considering who doesn’t share information and why
As twitter is searching for new memes and canon to jump on, it's more important than ever to understand why the music industry is like it is, what people have tried in the past, and why they probably failed.

on WHAT'S GOOD — a zine critically exploring the aesthetics, mechanics and economics of AI
"the future doesn't just happen; we actively shape it, and risk becoming less resilient if we don't."
as with many other W&M projects, our goal with this zine is to encourage a proactive > passive approach to futurism — emphasizing how artists and their teams can be active participants, rather than bystanders, in harnessing AI for their creative practice and career sustainability
this is W&M's first-ever print publication, and is the result of nearly 2 years of research, collaboration, & knowledge-sharing
20+ contributors across W&M and Refraction's communities contributed essays, imagery, & interactive exercises to help bring key AI issues down to earth
's creative AI panel on thurs, as one of our speakers dropped out
ideally NYC artist, founder, or industry pro who can speak to creative AI's practical applications to artists' careers
time & time again, marketing crops up as a key pain point for artists & their teams — it's expensive, time-consuming, and can be unpredictable
tomorrow we're excited to welcome
NYC — so honored + excited to share that @water_and_music is partnering with @MadeinNY to host a free IRL panel on creative AI, as part of New York Music Month!
June 22 @ 7PM, ft. myself @AleKoretzky@chrisbdeaner + @dadabots

most level-headed take i've read on the WFH vs office debate. it's an important conversation but the way many people have been talking about it feels tired and leading to nowhere, and this piece does a really good job of breaking down why
As promised, my treatise on WFH/RTO/WFO:
The debate isn’t about where you work, its about the nature of work itself.
