All very experimental, mostly vibe-coded, rather unintuitive UIs, but there is already plenty to have fun with. Time to play, see what works and what doesn't.

Feedback appreciated. Better still, please improve them youself! (Anyone kitted out and willing to build for Windows/Mac, let me know, I'll add you as a collaborator).

I used a lot of the same algorithms in earlier lv2 plugins on an album I just released : https://github.com/danja/attone

* bassgen: a transport-aware MIDI generator

* p-mix: a transport-aware probabilistic fader

* e-mix: a transport-aware Euclidean fader

* rift: a damage effect, invented by Codex

* drumgen: MIDI drum pattern generator

* cadence: MIDI harmonizer and comping generator

* counterpointer: a transport-aware MIDI counter-melody generator

* gremlin: a chaotic glitch instrument with live performance gestures

* gremlin-driver: a MIDI modulation and action sequencer for gremlin

* ground: long-form MIDI bass generator

I made Read Receipts about the loneliness no one photographs — not the empty kind, the full kind. A good night. A date that went well. The text I thought I wanted, lighting up my phone after. And the truth under it: he'll sleep with me. He just won't date me. I got real, let him see I'm not always well, and watched it close the door. The honesty that cost me the date is the same honesty this film is built on. For the woman who got the text back and still felt invisible — you're not crazy. Read Receipts. 🤍

Hi !

I’m looking for music videos, films, or other visual works that feature this kind of aesthetic: glitch, retro, analog, maximalist, webcore. I’m not exactly sure what to call it, but I’m referring to imagery that is heavily saturated with visual elements and effects, creating a sense of reality breaking down or deteriorating.

I’m sharing three music videos as examples of the kind of aesthetic I’m looking for:

100 gecs - money machine / Travis Scott - goosepumps / Laylow - OTO.

I am also interested in how you would name it of books about it.

Thank you very much ♡

Hey, after a long period of delaying to film and release any kind of film, mainly by the thought that I need to wait until I have a better camera, better lense, better audio, crew, actors and on it goes.
I guess I came to the understanding that filmmaking is a years if not decades long journey. Thinking that your first film will be perfect is quite arrogant. So decided I’m going to film and release something, as small and bad as it may be, this is the beginning of my journey.
If you want to give it a look you’re all more than welcome, just trying to get it around and show it to other people online.

An ordinary afternoon with a beloved companion takes an unexpected turn.

This Is Not a Dog is an absurdist comedy short film featuring deadpan performances, surreal situations, and the quiet absurdity of unquestioned assumptions.

Hey! After loving Backrooms after seeing it in cinemas a few weeks ago and feeling really overjoyed at people discovering analog horror and liminal horror I thought I'd share my short film from 2024 called 'LET THE WICKED REST'. It was inspired by a dark period of my life where I processed a lot of heavy things through the project (I continue to process them lol) and as I continue to work on my next short I thought some people on this sub might be interested.

Logline is "An insomniac's restless nights are interrupted by a phone call that brings the past back to horrifying light. He is brought face to face with old traumas he's tried to forget and fights monsters deep inside his subconscious that he's forced to confront"
