A number changed.

I'd be lying if I didn't admit to fantasizing about this number over the years, and I don't think a single dedicated YouTube creator hasn't at some point. Yet, here I am, watching the numbers turn over. I feel...incredibly agnostic.

What i...

Opt-Out Attack

I wanted to make a longer video about this, but my attorneys don't think releasing a big video that is in a gray area with the FAA is a good idea. 🫠
So bookmark that, but in the meantime, here's a quick and very limited rundown.

You did this.

Senator Wyden and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi have formally requested that the FTC open an investigation into Flock Safety for unnecessarily exposing billions of instances of civilian's vehicle location data to hackers and foreign adversaires.

Where your money has been going...

Over the past 2 months and onward, a lot of the funds from this Patreon are going towards finding and testing security vulnerabilities on publicly-placed AI cameras. This has been extremely challenging, as these companies operate in a way where t...

[possible] Hurricane Imelda

I can't decide. Help.

Doing a video on infrasound and finishing up the scripting and data processing after a long month. But now a new challenger appears. Do I...

Forums, finally!

Howdy.
Back from a long geological field recording trip, and if you hadn't heard via Discord, while I was off the grid I was beta-testing a select 100 member robust community forum to accompany the Discord server to see if it would be a dumpst...

12 Infrasonic Hours in 3 Minutes!

At face value this probably sounds like a hard drive skipping, but what you're hearing is actually quite the mystery. Let me explain:

We've all heard me go on and on about the hidden world of ultrasonic sounds, but INFRAsonic sounds, AKA th...

Sample Pack of Ultrasonic Birds, Insects, and of course...The Mouth

A zip with 16 recordings labeled in file name.
The "real time" recordings will be 32-bit/192KHz and can be manipulated in (free) Audacity software or any modern wave editor.

You'll notice some recordings (like the starling/The Mouth fi...

Ultrasonic Beach Crickets and Frogs

Didn't get a chance to talk about these recordings in the video, but these are some incredible soundscapes I got overnight on an island last month. What you're hearing is a field of insects and frogs with high pitched and ultrasonic noises slowed ...

Coming soon! Birdsongs and the starling that stores dozens of high quality samples.

What a long and crazy month it's been going down the ornithology hole!
Including but not limited to:

- Setting up AI audio analyzers on Raspberry Pi devices to record bird sounds remotely and build an enormous database. (trying to sort ...

May 6th Modular Stems

I wasn't happy with the recording I made in the stream, so I just did a 7 minute 24-bit one that starts with no effects, and slowly descends into deep reverb bliss. Here's a zip with 6 stems, which are 3 stereo tracks (L and R).

The most challenging video yet.

The next video is about <gulp> why I think capitalism has died, and it's packed full of 40 minutes of receipts ranging from philosophical definitions, historical timelines, animated explainers of economic principles, and an (at times) deep a...

Requested: Polybrute 12 / Piano Performance Audio

Here's the audio-only render from this video in MP3 and 24-bit FLAC.

i WILL have good streaming content! 💪🏻😠

As you may or may not know; my live streams on the streaming channel are pretty much a Patreon perk. I usually don't particularly like doing it when I'm doing it, but I'm usually happy I did it when it's done.

You also may have...

Discord Invite link:

As you may know, the Discord invite system has been messed up for quite some time in relation to our server/Patreon. This link should be an unlimited invite link, however you may find that it will expire randomly.

PFM Train Dream

Just an extended version of my demo for the PFM model train synths/units (video should drop tomorrow).
Also includes a Polyend Synth, Meris MercuryX, and Polybrute 12.

Train Synths!

There's so much of this. WAY too much for YouTube. So perhaps I'll just release a mix of it here?
Here's one of the jams I did last week. There will, of course, be more context when my next video comes out. :)

The Bot Video (files below)

I hate Patreon. My inbox brings me to a 2FA loop, I don't have the option of rejecting iOS transactions (that will siphon up 1/3rd of your pledge), and I just wrote about 4 paragraphs that inexplicably didn't post anywhere.
