So grateful to the @ambientchurch / @mezame.nyc crew for letting me join in and experience their 10-year anniversary festival from behind the scenes at St. Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan.

Getting to help put this show together and seeing everything come alive was honestly surreal. Such a massive NYC production.

Afro+ Fest Day 2: Ayra Starr, Tems, Latto, Sexyy Red, and an overall great experience. After such an intense storm the day before, it was good to see everything come together and enjoy the festival safely.

Great performances, good energy, and a much better day all around. Looking forward to the rest of the weekend.

At this point, I’m just going to travel the world with a soundcloud API key and see who got fun ideas 😭

but no, really I started building music networks in Portugal this month and it was top-tier. I was literally so welcomed and made so many new friends. Currently fighting back-in-America depression…lack of blog update…it’s coming tho

sometimes the browser is the perfect place to just chill — playing with the latest strudel update inside p5.live @teddavisdotorg combining strudel, shaders, @p5xjs as a draft for SPLIT/SCREEN

those organic blobs you see are raymarched SDF syncing to a strudel beat pattern (muted because I like this Solange - Binz [miles mercer edit] more and needed an excuse to share)

Went to the back of an arcade in Brooklyn to live-code BPM-synced visuals in Hydra synth (JavaScript + GLSL) for a B2B strudel set with @samiautumnatic, @brandontaii + @livecodenyc   -  
Yesterday I performed a live visual set in Brooklyn as Data V for “SPLIT/SCREEN” and as a @wondervillenyc first timer 🤓 
There’s something magical about creating in real time, in public, under pressure for me. Like...people are depending on you to have a good time and you have to problem-solve, and find that flow state as a necessity. Right now it’s SO easy to outsource thinking and creativity, so this kind of practice really matters to me. I just love this format because I learn more from being vulnerable and sharing process. It turns events like these into growth accelerators. 
Grateful to be in a room where people are pushing things to the edge like this. Other livecode first timers, people flying in from NY/San Francisco/Chicago, and everyone testing limits and experimenting together. Thank you @eggsovereager + @emptyflash_ for the opportunity and @vampireexec for archiving and setting up the stream.

Definitely learning to keep expensive cameras and gadgets at home when traveling. The internet has brainwashed me to think I need a g7x for every trip but this brings me joy by @valcoholics
