An Indie Audio Maker’s Manifesto

Identifying strongly at the same time as feeling even more isolated.

People sometimes forget that podcasting, like blogging, started out as an egalitarian medium infused with the anti-hierarchical values of the open-source movement in software. If it is to retain a little of that democratic character in the face of rampant corporatization and Hollywoodization, it needs a flourishing middle class of independent makers who have the freedom to focus on their audio work, follow their creative instincts, and choose honesty over fake neutrality.

Two explainers on tomato colour at

I cannot recall anything but red tomatoes from my youth. Yellow was dangerously exotic maybe 30 years ago. All that diversity, hiding out of plain sight!

Replied to a post on ruk.ca :

I too replaced an 11-year-old MacBoook Air with a new MBA M2, and I agree, it is a thing of beauty. So I am in need of a case. I doubt that the PKG is available in Europe (a shame) but the side-zipper is now something I need to keep an eye on.

Created a portable install of Reaper, my digital audio workstation, which I hope will make it easier to work on sound wherever I find myself.

When is a tangerine not a tangerine? When it is a tomato! Italians are embracing tomato diversity as farmers, breeders and eaters select new orange tomatoes to take advantage of loosening seed regulations in the EU.
