Signal Quest — Hypermyth (Orange Milk

Hypermyth is audio-only virtual reality. It’s an immersive, open-ended journey through a strange and fascinating world, an environment that beckons exploration. The Signal Quest trio have hewn this uncanny landscape using analog and digital implements, crafting a craggy geology replete with crystalline, multi-hued flora. Their music reflects a fascination with 1990s computer games, specifically the unique mythology of Myst. Unlike the nascent open-world gaming experience of decades past, Signal Quest’s music flows free of technological limitation. There’s no waiting between scenes for the CD-ROM to spin up. Cole Pulice, Lynn Avery and Mitch Stahlmann create a seamless stream of sound, with breathtaking high-resolution imagery limited only by the imagination of your mind’s eye.

Pulice, Avery and Stahlmann are long-time friends and collaborators, coming from Minneapolis but now calling Oakland, California home. They’ve added their unique talents to each others’ records, such as on Avery’s Carpet Cocoon, released under the name Iceblink. That record’s warm new age vibe took on a multitude of dimensions when augmented by the alien ECM stylings of Pulice’s saxophone and Stahlmann’s flute. Equally lush but veering into more abstract territory was Avery and Pulice’s collaborative work To Live & Die in Space & Time. Its moody vibe unfurled delicately but bristled with layers of electronics.  Years before those two records arrived, the trio was finding their footing, experimenting under the name LCM and creating hallucinatory sound worlds that set the stage for even bolder adventures to come.

Hypermyth is indeed Pulice, Avery, and Stahlmann’s most intrepid venture thus far. The textures are deeper, with larger cracks and crevices within which to get lost. Tones often twist and bend in many directions, like light refracting through glass. Musique concrète techniques adhere to the trio’s new age and ambient signifiers, conjuring fractalized patterns that glitch and writhe beneath Pulice and Stahlmann’s breath-modulated melodies. At times these more arcane sonorities lie beneath the surface of the trio’s soundscapes, such as on album opener “Sparkling Node Network.” In other moments, like on the ultra-short piece “moonVR” or the more drawn out “mailer-daemon.exe,” the abstract shapes infect and subsume the more delicate passages, withering and distorting the harmonies.

The musicians often find a delicate balance between pure beauty and sheer experimentation, and gentleness. Pulice, Avery, and Stahlmann have immersed themselves in a unique, unexplored sonic world, but haven’t lost themselves completely in its knotty, rough-textured depths.

#pathologic_fest #stump #pathologic #well. will catch up for the next several days I'm not thrilled w this but it's sufficient :-) if redone stump and bonfire would switch here #The Signal-Fires is a top10 quest for me not only b/c of the high level companion system but the aglaya-capella dynamic and the MURDER. #and the fun.

!!!(minor?)SPOILERS FOR DRAGON TEARS QUEST!!!

(Post below the cutoff)

Totk has had me in a chokehold even where I don’t get a shred of phone signal; thus not-completely-accurate dragon/zonai Zelda.

!!!Further spoilers for after defeating Ganondorf!!!

I really think that she should have retained some dragon-y-ness from being the light dragon for millennia. I don’t know if she’s a little more feral afterwards or not but there’s no scales or anything, which, yeah, I can get why, but I kinda wish we got dragon Zelda. (Though I could be wrong and this is just based off the cutscene after defeating Ganondorf)

#tears of the kingdom #fanart #legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom spoilers #art #dragon tears quest #light dragon totk #totk zonai #dragon zelda #fun fact: the Zonai are called Zonau in the Japanese version of the game; named after ‘mystery’ #no cell signal for refrences? just wing it and hope it looks believeable! #zonai zelda #kinda #traditional art

heads up everyone, theres a spam bot going around ao3 (as of 12/5/22) that leaves suspicious links on ppls fanfics via the comments. from what ive seen, they use anon and go by common female names. so far, the only fandom they're targeting that i know of is the "dragon quest: adventure of dai" fandom (and they left these comments on nearly all of my fics for that fandom), but i wouldnt be surprised if theyre targeting other fandoms as well. ive already filed an abuse report for this bot

Replaying Deep Secrets of the Earth today because I know what I'm about. Except that I'm also going Out, so Aloy will be there in power saving mode limbo for a bit, gradually rotating the Zero Dawn revelation and the question of whether she and Sylens are a "we" or not, while I'm at a cocktail bar. He's so annoying in the beginning of this mission and yet! And yet! The "we" sticks.

#as u do. #that main quest can be long. #signal in static

undercut for minor 3.3 spoiler (mostly just scara/wanderer fangirling content)

*me ignoring the whole reason why he said this* AWW HE WANTS US TO STAY CLOSE AND KEEPS US SAFE 💕

most of his voicelines makes question whether he’s being passive aggressive or just being a tsun tho lol

AND ARE WE SLEEPING SIDE TO SIDE NOW?

but honestly, for whatever reason i wouldn’t be able to fall asleep with him around too lol

i will admit i was engaging in intricate rituals last night.

#im not a natural tactile person so every touch i give to someone is extremely thought out and calculated… #and usually i just wait for the other person to initiate bc i have a chronic fear of overstepping #but i am also selfishly aware of how easy it is for ‘girls’ to pass off casual touching #if i had touched a guy like that itd be a clear signal to him what i was doing #but. alas. selfishly. #im suffering karma however bc im on the other side thinking were her touches casual or intentional? friendly or questing? suggestive?asking? #i dont know!!!!!!!!!!

i love seeing a single person give this blog like 4 notes in a row because they found one of my robotfucking posts and clicked on my blog hungry for more. and i know they do this because i do the exact same thing. We are united <3

#so many of us are ships in the night... but we dont pass by each other unnoticed. #we flash our signals at eachother and keep sailing on our separate voyages #godspeed on your quest to fuck a computer. here's a small patch of smooth sailing for you #i'm rooting for both of us

Yo, one of my girlfriends recently got really into Cyberpunk 2077 and I've been playing with her. I need to know everyone else's opinions on Johnny. Cause I would destroy that insane old man pussy.

-Bullreigns

JOHNNY IS SO FUNNY TO ME................................. this grouchy old man that lives in your brain who, at first, wants to kill you with his bare hands but slowly comes to love you it's so deeply homoerotic (i play mascv so it is for me anyway) in such an insane way

what makes it even funnier is that keanu reeves is not very good at voice acting (tho he was better in the dlc) so everything he says is so blunt and flat i LOVE him. pathetic failman loserboy who is also my brain parasite

#i haven't finished the game yet but i did finish the dlc last night it was rly good #every time johnny aparates in my vision i giggle and clap and go YIPPEE!!!!! #now i'm on a quest to go romance his ex boyfriend though so that'll be fun #fwiw i would also destroy that insane old man pussy #though he fumbled rogue and for that i can never forgive him #bullreigns #signal response 🔌

No progress report for tonight other than i got myself more Bic X-tra Sparkle pencils and maybe that will stimulate my creativity. I don't know man I spent all day eating mozzarella sticks and playing Animal Jam. It was like I was a spoiled 10 year old. I should get a job.

#text #today was almost Signals quest to get his hands on a dog collar for totally normal reasons day #but I wasn't feeling it #maybe I should make an autobio comic about that #progress reports

"Mysterious hell planet may have signs of life" or whatever this and "strange radio signal 8 billion lightyears away" or whatever that, please stop with the headlines that sound like scifi horror films and games.

#doom and alien ass headlines #also disclaimer i am paraphrasing a lot #I saw them briefly and it said something about a hell planet and doom-esque headline of like ppl wanting to mine or life found or somethin #and then the foreign signal burst being the literal plot of the first alien movie #at this point i think god is rolling a d100 for the next random life event as if human beings are using wild magic constantly #or god is just a very mean dm who decided to also add in pop culture references into the main story quests they set on hard
