If You're Hearing This It May Already Be Too Late

We are joined by one of our favorite friends — Meredith Whittaker — for a giant discussion that bridges her two latest articles. First a historical analysis of Charles Babbage and the smoking gun that directly links plantation logics of control with the industrial design of computation. Then a political economy of “open” AI and the material power that dominates the entire stack for these systems.

Ugress is an electronica project from Bergen, Norway, the main project of electronic musician Gisle Martens Meyer. He is a tremendous producer who creates cinematic trip hop with such hard hitting beats. His stuff is just magic. I honor his music here with my very own mix of his best music lasting over 4 hours. Sit back, and lose yourself in the wonderful world of Ugress!

The Best Of Ugress (Skylark's Marathon Mix)

Decided to make a mix interweaving two incredible electronic music acts that depend on thousands of samples. This this is the result. Enjoy!!

The Orb vs Coldcut (Skylark Mix)

An ode to freedom and the freedom within creativity, carrying an urgency to act in the name of love, peace & unity.

"Dear quilted girl,
I'm from the highs and I think you should know,
You're lost in 'Stone,
This daydream's on me, you have nothing to show

You feel you're terribly lacking,
And backing to a fall,
So ruin your fears, 
Get angry...

Pull up your sleeves,
Man in the market is no-one to me,
'ts no coincidence,
But sea salt works more than a kick to the head"

And so on and so forth
