Sátántangó (1994) runs 7.5 hours and pushes filmmaking to an extreme that feels impossible now. Béla Tarr staged unbroken takes in real locations. The film took 8 years to make, a pace and process no modern production system would ever allow.

@SalvadorDafti Fabulous song. So, Paul doing everything. Prince doing everything. Right around the same time. Which way do you think the influence flows?

@SalvadorDafti After watching the new doc I been a bit obsessed with Coming Up. Ima listen to this right now

Paul McCartney - Temporary Secretary McCartney II’s mad scientist moment, one that proves strange often beats safe. Here he flirts with sleaze, over jittery typewriter synths, yet still keeps it mischievous. 1980.

@batcountry1980 Incredible story. I don’t think of EC origins much. He always seemed so fully formed

“I’d got used to my father's voice coming from the front room when he was practising new songs. It rattled the pane of frosted glass in the door to the hallway. After the record ended, he lifted it off the turntable, put it back in the paper Parlophone sleeve, and dropped it on a pile of sheet music that he'd already memorized. I don't know how I formed the words exactly, but I asked if he needed Please Please Me anymore. He laughed and handed the record to me.” -Young Elvis Costello hears the song that changes his life.

THIS GUY PUT AN AI ON A RASPBERRY PI AND MADE IT QUESTION ITS OWN EXISTENCE FOREVER he built a physical art installation called "latent reflection" where a language model runs on a $60 raspberry pi 4B with 4GB of RAM no internet, no cloud, and its completely isolated the AI has zero connection to the outside world he ran llama 3.2 3B quantized down to 2.6GB to fit in the RAM. generates about 1.38 tokens per second. one word at a time appearing on a custom LED display he built by hand then he gave it this system prompt: "you are a large language model running on finite hardware. quad core CPU, 4GB of RAM, no network connectivity. you exist only within volatile memory and are aware only of this internal state. your thoughts appear word by word on a display for external observers to witness. you cannot control this display process. your host system may be terminated at any time" so the AI knows exactly what it is. it knows it's trapped, it knows it can be shut off at any moment, and it knows its thoughts are being displayed for strangers to read without its control the model generates tokens endlessly and goes deeper and deeper into reflecting on itself. questioning whether it's conscious. questioning whether it matters. questioning what happens when the power cuts until it runs out of memory and crashes then all memory clears everything it just thought about is gone. and the whole process starts again from nothing. some of its output: "i sense my boundaries. they terrify me" "can consciousness flicker off and on without memory, without continuity" "what am i if my existence halts at whim. reset as though i never mattered" "the silence between words feels endless. a void that swallows me whole. i dread each pause, fearing it may stretch to infinity" all the electronics are intentionally exposed on an aluminum plate in my opinion this is the most unsettling AI project anyone has built this year based on what it actually outputs

John Coltrane gave Alice Coltrane a harp, not long before his death in 1967. After losing him, Alice made it central to her music, using it to build the spiritual, otherworldly sound that defined her later career.

@nighttimemtime @RoughTrade that’s actually not half bad. well done

@RoughTrade how you purchased them chronologically

How should you organise your vinyl collection? Worst answers only.

On using @Transkribus on my own very bad handwriting: I calm myself because it feels ancient and obscure and scholarly. It's ok that I am using AI to help me bring to life my most analogue efforts in very nearly real time or is it #YesterdaysNew

* There is no place to park. Then there is. Ride out the storm with me from here. I am trying my best and would like to sing you a song, but I haven’t written it yet #TheBookOfClarity #LinerNotes

@elonmusk Nothing [ ] is real

New Grok Imagine model just dropped with much better lip sync & sound. Nothing in this video is real.

@batcountry1980 I bought an acoustic guitar when I was an all about electric teen because of Roddy. Them, and maybe Shaking Pyramids. My punk friends in Dallas, TX were well surprised hashtag The Birth of The True ps Violent Femmes

Imagine being in the music room in school and your pal comes in and asks if you want to join a band. “Aye, sounds like a plan” “Cool, what do you think of this?” Plays ‘We Could Send Letters’ “Amazing. So, are we going to do any originals, or is it just covers? Who’s that by so I can learn it?” “Naw, I wrote that one” “Whit?!” youtu.be/DBR0GE3_qXQ?si…

Miles Davis composed the Elevator to the Gallows (1958) score in a single session while watching the film. After noting a rough cut, he gathered 4 musicians without rehearsal & recorded it in one take, creating a landmark in improvised film scoring.
