Driving my car up north out of the United States into England. I stop at an inn just inside the border, it looks kind of like a truck stop, very touristy. I pull out my phone to check the map and my cell phone no longer works. The people at the front desk want to sell me a temporary one for $89. I decide to drive back into the U.S. to try my phone again. It is chilly and wet out and the trees are very tall and green.

I've been posting stranger "b-sides" homemade-synth songs to my patreon that I probably won't release anywhere else, like this one:

A group of owls. 
The owls are perched on a branch, and they are all facing different directions. 
Some of the owls have their eyes open, while others have their eyes closed. 
The text "V V" appears below the owls.

This seems to be some kind of cartoon two-headed duck-worm blowing smoke out of its bills on both ends. And there are two of them.

Putting together an album of tracks from this Wizardmaster era (2005?)

This song was recorded with homemade mics that I was experimenting with, as well as my own software WMCP/BackToBasics

The Flippory-created cover art, it's maybe some old cartoon image repeatedly mirrored to remove all context?

Sickness of the leaf only
This is a somewhat gentle generative recording with zero interaction. Only four tracks and minimal effects. Does not make use of newer features like oscillating values but does make use of probability.

Check out this very cool research being done in the Vilmonic discord by user jojoknob!
"here is a quick result of my analyzing every progenitor in my current world about 470 generations in. These are simple pairwise correlations between genes..."

There's a new update to Vilmonic! It's a small step on the way to Vilmonic 2.0, and you can try it out in the Vilmonic Steam Beta. You will have to already own Vilmonic on Steam to try this. This version contains more craftable and buildable items, like light sources, rugs, dirt floors and walls, a new artifact, and more. And new terrain types that create new biomes.

A cozy evening in the Vilmonic Enoxxerx 47000 zone, hanging with three anims near a brand new fungol planter, enjoying the warm candelabra light of the zomb settlement.

@ianholmes Ohhh, I never thought of that... but he does seem to drink a lot. Like, a LOT.
