Hey it's that time of the year when there is no more time!
While I realize that I've been slacking around with the blog (for several years by this point) I did manage to do a few things in the outside world this year. I wrote a scientific paper and did a lecture on it. I have it in PDF so I might share it (it's nothing spectacular and honestly not that interesting) but for now I don't think I will due to it having my actual name and surname on it. Maybe when I get more comfortable with sharing my personal details on the internet. I also got a job in designing electrical systems for industrial projects. It's demanding, nihilistic but ultimately interesting to do (for now at least) so the past year I've been busy improving my knowledge in engineering. And that's pretty much what I've been doing in those post-less months this year.
Aside from personal things I've decided to kickstart Terror Noise Audio again as my interest in noise and experimental music has resurfaced on a large scale recently. I've been slowly accumulating interesting albums which I intend to share as much as I can on there and hopefully expand the blog into areas of free jazz, free improv and musique concrete. For now I only did like five releases but I have at least 20 prepared to upload and post. This also extends to FT; I've been busy writing and discovering interesting jazz and highlife albums which I intend to post as soon as I get a bit more time to just sit down, listen to it and write things out. My upload speeds are still from the stone age so I can't just sit down and upload 20 albums in an hour.
I've been thinking about making posts more frequent and less reliant on my personal thoughts/writings. I intend to make these short, brief posts of recent (several) discoveries. Those posts will be interwoven with my usual more thought out posts.
That's all the news I have.
Happy new year everybody and have a good time celebrating it!

We don't know each other, but your blog has been in my RSS feed for years, and I'm glad your life seems to be going well. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you too!
ReplyDeleteGreetings and salutations! I have dropped by this blog once every few months since 2009 and im wondering if you are still into manga as your selection, some disturbing and macabre, have opened my eyes to a wide spectrum of manga. Much love for your blog, i grew up with it and im an old fart at the age of 25 now.
ReplyDeleteHey there! Well as far as manga goes I very rarely read them nowadays mainly due to the fact that I've moved on to books. Because of that I'm completely out of the loop with them, especially the rarer/unique ones. Another problem is that my external hard drive where I kept them died out so I'm unable to (re)upload anything from my existing collection. With that said I do have some unread ones on my computer that I'll upload eventually once I read them (and if they turn out to be good).
