today marks ten years since we released our very first album, Lofty!
in some ways it feels like an eternity since then, and in other ways like no time has passed at all. here are some memories from back then.
there were so many important people who supported us and helped us bring this record to life in the studio, on the page, and on the stage. these are a few we’d like to shout out:

excited to announce that anyone can now listen to our album ‘a gathering of batteries’ and recycle, earn, or donate sats:
https://www.agatheringofbatteries.com
our intention with this project is to explore new ways of connecting bitcoin to music.
we’ve charged up the battery to start, but theoretically this project could live on indefinitely, funded by the public, moving value from listener to listener.
a big thanks to the team at @nprofile…uh2t , who are entirely responsible for bringing this half baked idea to fruition.
if nothing else, hopefully this experiment inspires others to try something new.
this music was inspired in part by going down the bitcoin rabbit hole, and the recognition of the shifting undercurrents of our world today. enjoy.

we’re doing another round of our v4v battery project before potentially shipping to a wider audience - just message in this thread and we’ll whitelist your npub to try it out.
www.agatheringofbatteries.com
listen to our new album and earn sats while doing it - recycle them back into the battery for others to do the same or withdraw and add them to your stack.

Been playing around with AI music generation, it’s really kind of interesting. In a roundabout way, it could actually make music “more human” again, depending on how it’s used.
If you look back at the last couple decades… so many producers default to using MIDI, which makes music really quantized, linear—where every drum hit and instrument is the exactly on beat, on a literal digital “grid”. It’s like making music on a spreadsheet. The most extreme example being EDM or something… which feels super computery and inorganic.
In contrast, I can get an AI to make a drum beat that is more like J Dilla—it’s rough around the edges, makes little ‘mistakes’ because the AI recognizes the imperfections that a human player delivers. But sometimes that’s what actually makes something unique. It is sensitive enough to pick up on the human subtleties that make music great.
Just a thought, curious to see where it goes from here.

we just dropped two tracks from our upcoming album. this little two-piece is called “signal”. signal is about staying on your life path amongst a very noisy and distracting world that is constantly trying to capture your attention. how can we stay in tune with our soul in such an environment? an upgrade in the quality of our consciousness is required to stay on track. “we need a beat” is a about the sense that we live in a major turning point in history and how to meet that evolution each one of us must level up down to the very bottom of our beliefs to be able to ground in a different, more harmonious reality. check out the songs here on @npub1yfg…v6vg https://wavlake.com/album/1fd7be38-7a23-4698-b50b-4bbe95230588

but in our time this knowledge has largely been forgotten. is it possible to remember what we truly are?

it’s about leaving Canada and living down in Costa Rica for some time. Shedding old identities. opening to new perceptions. new connections with an aligned purpose. we're going to be doing some interesting things with #Bitcoin

Ask yourself, “who do I become when I hold this view of the world, of history, of this totalizing narrative of reality?” And then see if you like who you are when you live in the worldview that the this ‘hidden history’ affords you. Was it history that was hidden or was it aspects of your subconscious you hadn’t looked at before?

2024-03-26 14:46:40 UTC

we were given the chance to play around with sora, the text to video tool by OpenAI. it’s pretty wild. we made a short film called “air head”. check it out here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lesliekatz/2024/03/25/artists-get-early-access-to-openais-sora-video-tool-with-surreal-results/?sh=bcf9ccb48317

mental attention can be converted into a fluid substance that can be thickened enough that when it is moved through the body it drags the physical tissues
