Shout out to my friend Kirby who is undoubtedly one of the most talented musicians I know. Creatively, he's had an amazing pandemic that started off with this really sparse and luxurious instrumental record. It's like ambient solo piano with expert synth and flute arrangements. The songs are so meditative and neutrally emotional in that magical way good ambient music is. 10/10 from me.

This album…goddamn. S/o to the Herb Sundays substack for putting me onto what’s probably my favorite release of the year so far. It’s a beautiful piece of music front to back; very contemplative, sometimes sorrowful, other times achingly joyful. Can’t quite explain it the way I’d
like, tbh. I have a feeling I discovered this at the exactly right time to fully receive it. It’s a good reminder just how context-driven art is.
Moran employed a Yamaha Disklavier for this, which essentially plays a supporting role to her own playing. Per the Warp site: “Moran augments her pianistic abilities by utilising the Disklavier to write intricate piano parts that go beyond human capabilities, resulting in multi-layered compositions that blur the lines between human and machine.”

Obsessed with this Chinese sci-fi novel right now. It's putting to words a lot of the unavoidable existential dread that we're all trying to ignore. I'm not usually a big fan of super hard sci-fi because I'm for the most part scientifically illiterate, but this book does such a good job of making physics poetic and kind of horrifying.

This book destroyed me. It's a reinterpretation of the myth of Circe, one of the OG witches in Greek mythology who was exiled to an island for eternity. She's a minor character in the Odyssey, but is given the lead role in this. Unbelievably poignant writing about life and death. Sobbed at the ending - it's a beautiful book.

I've been a longtime video game obsessor, but recently I packed everything up and decided to say goodbye for a while.. my plan is to live life "fully" while I still can and then become deeply obsessed again when I'm retired. In the meantime, I like to watch this youtube channel which is tirelessly dedicated to trying out every variety of new indie game. I literally don't know how he finds the time to play all this shit.
