My Life, The Remix

This is not me. I am not a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's wartime uniform, on a laptop in a basement somewhere. I am an experimental producer.
but for some reason Russians want me dead, therefore
This is not me. I did not produce these wonders of soundwave, I did not mix the remix and master the masterpiece. I am a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's uniform.

But a heart is a heart and there are eleven hearts here and they are S280F and Grischa Lichtenberger and Angelo Harmsworth and Galen Tipton and sv1 and trngs and Sara Persico and Hwoaranng and Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander and John Object. I am a file on their drives and they are the song in my heart.

The idea for a John Object compilation would seem obvious to some, as I really do know some of the greatest Ableton Live users to ever stumble upon this plane. I never had the heart to ask!

Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander are two of my friends from Berlin, and they are, to date, the only people that made it their business to bring me to play in that blessed city. I played at 8MM Bar both times (that place is fucking sweet) at Salon Oblique events. Now, at this war, in what I can only describe as a gesture of love and tender caring, they called upon the geniuses of today to work on my work and provided me with an album where there could not be one. This is a remix compilation that I found out about only when it was already release-ready.

I really only could take one night off, walked to the nearest village, and my dear friend Andrii, a soldier himself, brought me my camera, and I titled the compilation in blood. Then for a month I worked on a .pdf booklet for the digital edition, that, really, tells the whole story.

I think this is probably the wildest, most advanced music ever to be released by a soldier in active service.

I can't adequately express the crushing magnitude of tenderness, love and gratitude that I feel towards every person involved.

thank you Andrii for being the best friend in peace and in war.

This all happened only because Ross brought me to Berlin for Salon Oblique at 8MM Bar www.salonoblique.net, and then Ludwig brought me to Berlin to record with him and play at Salon Oblique again, and then because they cared about me, and because my friend Andrii brought me the camera and helped me find the right way to call this.

So much never happened, and so much never will, because of Russians and their deep-seated hatred of me, of everyone I love, and everyone Ukrainian. I am still at war and I am still under threat of violent death every day. Many people I knew and served with have already been murdered by Russians. I am just lucky.

Coming soon:
Limited edition engraved USB carabiner drive with Plead, .pdf booklet, and a recording of a John Object live set at Salon Oblique on October 18th, 2021, when the war seemed so very, very unlikely, and this existence was not imaginable at all. Ships starting November 1st.

Brian and Maria discuss John Carpenter's landmark, claustrophobic body-horror masterpiece The Thing. As you can tell, Brian wrote this description, and not some of the other members of this episode's panel.

The Thing

Since 2008, the LA-based filmmakers known as 5-Second Films have churned out unique, lightning-fast micro-comedy and sketches, with thousands of videos netting millions of views. Working with performers from Patton Oswalt to Weird Al Yankovic, the group has since expanded their repertoire to include podcasts and their 2015 feature film debut, "Dude Bro Party Massacre 3."

The podcast "Is It Still Scary," hosted by 5SF's Brian & Maria, takes a small panel of film enthusiasts and dives into horror movies from every decade and subgenre, to determine whether their ability to scare has waned over the years, or if they're as chilling as ever. The discussion is wide-ranging, thoughtful, lively, and sometimes completely off-topic in the best of ways.
