lots of pain and doctor visits this month (i say as if that's different from any other month) but i'm still fighting lets get into it
dj sets, random vinyl picks, and peoples original mixes on youtube. i love music so much it's stupid !!!!!!! highlights: minecraft midwest emo / ya like jazz series / low poly water mix / midnight shift yousuke yukimatsu / gia fu salsa from curaçao / yugoslavian funk & jazz mix
DRAWING AGAIN!!!! finished two pieces and started a third one . i'm fighting tooth and nail to do it for fun again and not get bogged down in the sharing/posting/marketing aspect . i wanna make prints but it's soul crushing trying to figure out how
hypothetical nonsense podcast clips. the hosts are like 19 year old tiktokers but i randomly watched this clip and keep seeing them algorithmically now and sometimes they r soooo funny . i've never listened to a whole episode
thinking way too hard about moving and breathing cuz i figured out i am actually just constantly rolling my ribs in and out of place 👍
reading open veins of latin america (eduardo galeano) & state and revolution (lenin)
writing this
hand to hand combat with my brain creatures but it's less us fighting and more me slowly approaching a cornered animal with a blanket and a treat . i'm trying to allow them to name themselves but one of them is so deeply terrified of judgement and misunderstanding she wouldn't even let me see her for awhile. now she allows me to imagine her as liquid in a pool, emphasizing that there is no meaning to her container, even if she were in a cup instead of the pool she would still be the same. anyway
i keep catching myself scrolling instagram reels and it's infuriating bc i used to barely touch that stupid app. the entertainment w it is already lulling so i'll free myself soon
playing rockband :)
jerma clip compilations. i've never seen an actual stream of his i feel like i need to only see small glimpses of him thru a shuttered window. like he's so normal to me but also quite strange . hes like if bigfoot was just a normal man who lives in the woods but everyone still had the same amount of fascination with him . also he's a phenomenal meta performance artist
ええと、本当はそもそも年末イベ、毎年恒例企画だったのですが、去年は色々あってできなかったので、今回はその分イベントお休みしている間に考えていた事や、ここ2年間でお世話になった方をお招きした企画にしてみました。これはもうガチ「Fire And Motion」やでぇ、言うてるんですけど。や、言うてる場合じゃないんですけど・・・。
BodyPix Visual Effects with Unity Barracuda from Keijiro Takahashi on Vimeo.
DJ: Yousuke Yukimatsu
Performed at Super Dommune (27th Jul)
This attempts to create real-time visual effects using the BodyPix neural network human segmentation/detection model. I used the Unity game engine and the Barracuda neural network inference library to run the BodyPix model.

BIOGRAPHY
東京在住のソロ・プロデューサー/DJ。シンセサイザー、打ち込み、サンプリングなどを使い作り上げたトラックに浮遊感のあるヴォーカルをのせ、実験的でありながらも美しく耳に残る独特な世界を作り出していく。2011年に自宅の寝室で楽曲制作を開始して間もなく、LAのアンダーグラウンドレーベルNot Not Funと日本の名門インディー・レーベルBig Loveからデビュー。瞬く間に世界中のアンダーグラウンド・シーンから注目を集め、すでに複数回に渡り北米ツアーとヨーロッパ・ツアーを行った。DJとしても国内外のイベントでプレイを重ね、インディー、ハウス、テクノなど新旧さまざまなエレクトロニック ・ミュージックを独自の感覚でミックスしていくアナログ中心のプレイが評価されている。2015年にはパ��で開催されたRed Bull Music Academyに参加しており、2016年にバルセロナで開催されたSonarにも抜擢されるなど、海外でも精力的に活動を続けている。
Sapphire Slows is what you might call an everything-ist: she produces, DJs, plays synth and keyboard, and her eerie, drone-like vocals float over her tracks, embellishing their shadowy textures. After the brutal awakening of the 2011 earthquakes in Japan, she became motivated to pursue a career in music. Now a notable name in Tokyo’s electronic music scene, she has toured North America, Europe, China and her home country, and released on labels such as Japan’s Big Love and Los Angeles’ Not Not Fun/100% Silk. While some of her songs are submerged in a blue-ish, slo-mo haze, like her name suggests, others are more abrasive and in tune with the whirring pace of krautrock, as on 2014’s Allegoria album.
