Patito feo

It's important to understand that there's nothing unusual about the western empire's depravity in Gaza or the mass media's constant lies and distortions about it - they do these things constantly, year after year. What's unusual is that people are waking up to it.

It's Not Unusual That We're Being Lied To, It's Unusual That People Are Noticing

And this just says so much about the nature of this "democracy" - a word which literally means "rule by the people". If the people were actually in charge, there would be some option available to them to end the worst thing happening in the world right now. But the people are not in charge. When it comes to matters of the most importance, they never get a vote.

If You Can't Even Elect A Candidate Who'll End A Genocide, How Real Is Your "Democracy"?

Anyone who's been following the Gaza genocide on social media today will be seeing this phrase "legally killed child" alongside footage of children ripped apart by Israeli military explosives in a civilian displacement camp.

Israel Massacres Children, Which The Western Press Says Is Fine

One by one, the US empire is discrediting all of its own arguments for why it should lead the world. All the violence, tyranny and injustice it claims to be keeping at bay with its globe-dominating leadership is being inflicted by the empire itself, in more and more brazen and egregious ways each year.

24 instances used to create a track.

This is mostly an experimental project to test my new audio interface. I wanted to make a really loud mix and master for a long time and it seems to be the right opportunity. The synth itself has a good sound with interesting possibilities, but it's very off putting in technical terms (very high CPU load, very long project loading time, frequent crashes etc.).

This instrument is really capable of abrasive overdriven tones, so I decided to make a darksynth track with a bit of acid techno influence.
