I was one of them. They said that anyone can make music on a computer and I agreed until I tried it. Now I realize that AI music today is what I thought electronic music was back then.08 May 2026 22:01 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mleq6lvnpk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3ml2z3pyuis25Trying to get home after work when a song idea has popped into my head https://media.tenor.com/ZX0mBHXJ2akAAAAC/go-fast.gif?hh=278&ww=49805 May 2026 01:14 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml2z3pyuis25https://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mkt6ahhtts2gRemix that I did: https://youtu.be/-CH4PfZjJgk?si=2V_UmlRSnbCSGW0201 May 2026 22:24 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkt6ahhtts2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mk7jjip6zs2vMy track for a producer challenge where you use samples from NASA's sound library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOQQ3egcOKc24 Apr 2026 02:53 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk7jjip6zs2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mih65mq7sc2dI never realized how common it is for gen-x to try to avoid seeing Bloody Mary in a dark bathroom mirror even to this day.01 Apr 2026 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mih65mq7sc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3miebgoofrs2bI'm thinking about how to prepare for the apocalypse and realizing just how expensive that is.

I still believe in them but it's made me wonder if I should still be doing this. Then one new idea really grabbed me and now I'm wondering if every release should be like that. It's just so easy in comparison.17 Feb 2026 12:58 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf2mjv3lts2chttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mdrdsggmn22kA lot of people have turned internet conversations into songs but I think this is the best I've seen yet: https://youtube.com/shorts/EKJZ330TE6w?si=gmxcKCxtIKSphSDJ01 Feb 2026 03:02 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdrdsggmn22khttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3md7ezzfffs2jWith everything happening in Minnesota and the US right now, I think it bears mentioning that all the major news outlets are complicit.

I think there's a balance to be struck between trying to master your craft and breaking the rules. You don't need to be perfect.19 Jan 2026 02:58 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcqnj54bkk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mc267wf2722vMorning commute10 Jan 2026 04:26 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc267wf2722vhttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mbxk3kj6uk2jhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HZ_tx8aWuA&list=RD9HZ_tx8aWuA&start_radio=109 Jan 2026 03:20 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbxk3kj6uk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mbc4lg6kos23I just saw this photo of the linguist Yuri Knorozov,and this is the energy that I plan on taking with me into 2026.31 Dec 2025 14:53 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbc4lg6kos23https://bsky.app/profile/zedarkadia.com/post/3mart5ntunc2bI just saw a post that said that everyone has a sandwich that they think about for the rest of their lives. I was like, "no" but I realized I do. It was an eggplant parmesan that a girl at a bar didn't finish and just gave to me. I was drunk but I remember how good it was.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but - as far as I can tell - I am the ONLY one that they have ever used generative AI visuals for when putting up the video. What's up with that?13 Dec 2025 05:09 +0000at://did:plc:vxy4qs3sv55odctech2kshcj/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7ttl4akbc2w
