For each album that you want to change the prices on:

1. Open up your album’s editor

2. Open up your browser’s Javascript console (usually using ctrl-alt-I on a PC, or cmd-alt-I on a Mac)

3. Paste in this bit of code (assuming you want to set the price to 1.50 per track in your local currency; change the '1.50' to whatever value you want it to be otherwise) and press Enter:

   document.querySelectorAll('input.price[name^="track.price"]')
       .forEach(e=>{e.value='1.50';e.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'))})
   

4. Verify that the prices are the way you want them and then click “update album”

Note that copy-pasting random Javascript from the web is generally unsafe to do, so I’ll explain exactly what this code does:

1. document.querySelectorAll asks the browser to give a list of items on a webpage; in this case, the query input.price[name^="track.price"] asks for all of the text inputs which have a class of price and a name starting with track.price, which is how Bandcamp marks a text input as being a track price
2. forEach runs a function on each of the text inputs; in this case, for each one, it
   1. sets the value attribute (which is the text in the box) to 1.50
   2. notifies the browser that the value has changed (which is necessary because Bandcamp is using custom validation and data binding logic)

Anyway. This is still not great, process-wise, but it’s a lot easier than having to edit every single track manually.

I will be performing at the Trans Academy’s “Moonlit” concert series, this time for the European time slot. Join TRANS.7885 for access, or watch on the Twitch stream.

I did two songs and a bonus third song for Trans Academy’s “Moonlit” concert series.

(Apologies for the audio quality; I forgot to record my direct audio this time, so this is the in-game audio captured by Rory Pelham of the Trans Academy’s broadcast team. Thanks, Rory!)

As such, I’ve set up an elasticStage page where you can order my stuff on vinyl! I’ll probably add more albums as they come.

I’m still waiting for my test copies to arrive (and they likely won’t arrive for a little while) so if you order a copy right now it’s at your own risk, but all of the reviews I’ve seen of the service are incredibly positive. On Refactor in particular I’ve scheduled it as a preorder to be released on June 14, which is both the 10th anniversary of the original release of the album and also my birthday.

I’ll definitely be reviewing the test copies when they arrive, and if you want to take a chance on something unproven, right now is the time to order, as the actual manufacturing lead time is currently around 6 weeks.

My album Transitions (and its companion Deadnames) are perhaps the most obviously on-the-nose trans-related albums of mine, but it’s woven into the DNA of so much of my music. The songs All Tan, Adding Up to Nothing, Hypnagogic, Material Change, and Fool in the Middle are all quite specifically about gender feels, but being trans has informed everything about my life and my existence.

Here are some other lesser-known trans musicians of note (in no particular order):

• Bedussey, self-described as “bedroom pop-punk”
• elizabeth veldon, a noise/drone artist
• ella guro makes ridiculously awesome abstract chiptune soundscapes
• Jennifer Vena Wood goes more for affirmational acoustic folksy stuff which feels super underrepresented in trans music these days and I’m 100% here for it
• Kookie sings a bunch of songs about being trans, and about being a Linux user, two things which are super entwined in my experience
• Left at London does a super interesting fusion of classic and modern forms
• Patricia Taxxon does incredible weird experimental music
• Ratwyfe makes fun songs about all sorts of things; definitely check out cryptid (mothman) which is super relatable
• Trust Fund Ozu makes some amazingly lush musical textures in what feels like an amazing balance between rock and hyperpop

There are of course many, many more out there; I put out a call for recommendations and was absolutely overwhelmed by the number of trans artists I was pointed to! It was super difficult to pick just a few to showcase here, and it would be a disservice to let them go without further mention. Thank you so much to everyone who shared their own picks.

Also, please check out the Seattle Trans and Nonbinary Choral Ensemble, a choir I am extremely proud to be a part of.

This performance took place in VRChat, and was hosted by Corbelle’s Music Fesivals.

To that end, I have a new album out, which you might be interested in if you’re seeing this post.

Other than that, there’s what I’ll be buying today:

• The entire discography of Vulthra
• I’ll be doing catchup on err:Rawr’s discography
• And the entire discography of Balance Lost, a Song Fight!er of note

Sharing is caring!

Unfortunately, as things stand, bluesky is really just not a great substitute for a proper feed reader, so I’d suggest getting one of those instead rather than trying to have a single social feed be your one view to the universe.

(Following my actual bluesky profile probably is a better experience overall, anyway.)

Music done for Strawberry Jam 9 and a couple other things.

Set list:

• 120 MPH

I will be performing a song or two, depending on avalable time.

Scheduled time is approximate and subject to change.

You can also use recordings of things other than acoustic spaces for interesting effects; Logic’s Space Designer comes with a whole bunch of impulse responses that are used for various effects, including drum transformers, ghost rhythms, and other such things. A lot of my more sound designy stuff makes heavy use of this.

But what if you use whole songs as an impulse response?

Here’s some results I got while messing around with it just now:

The way I did these in logic:

1. Create an audio track with the source audio
2. Add a Space Designer plugin, and drag the convolution audio onto it
3. Set the “dry” level to Mute, and the “wet” level to 0
4. Create an empty instrument track, and make an empty region that’s roughly the length of the convolution audio that starts at the end of your source audio (to give it a proper reverb tail)
5. Apply the Mastering Assistant
6. Bounce!

This seems like a really good framework for experimentation, especially for drone tones and ambient soundscapes. I’d be super interested to see what other people come up with!

Tentative set list:

• Fool in the Middle
• Paper Cuts

• The We ♥ Katamari soundtrack; specifically I have an old gamerip that unfortunately has the full per-level runtime tracks which get kind of old after a while, but it was surprisingly fun to listen to while driving for some errands
• Psychic Realty (Revisited): An amazing remix album of one of Jeremy Blake’s already-amazing albums
• … and that’s it, that’s everything I listened to this week

Sometimes I just gotta give my ears a break, I guess.

• Benny Benassi - Electroman: I bought this because “Good Girl” was on Lumines Electric Symphony for the PS Vita, pretty much the only game that I spent any significant amount of time playing on that doomed system. The album as a whole seems like it’s a lighthearted parody/homage of all of the dance music styles that were popular in 2011. Or at least I found a lot of humor in it.
• Disappear by Revengeday
• The Rainbow Disconnection by Sad Kermit: I absolutely cannot believe that this album is allowed to continue to exist. I could have sworn it was DMCAed at one point. Also back when I got it, it was a free download from the artist’s website, I think. There’s more tracks that have been added since my acquisition.
• The Weekend EP by This Mess is Mine
• A Certain Distance by Lusine: some amazingly lush electronica that makes my ears very happy

Also, I’ve gone ahead and enabled webmention on this site in lieu of comments. The layout is just the defaults from webmention.js. Someday I’ll get around to building a proper comment system instead.

I will be once again performing the song Everybody Calm Down at the Trans Academy’s “Moonlit” concert series, this time for the North America time slot. Join TRANS.7885 for access, or watch on the Twitch stream.

This will be the last time I can perform at Trans Academy Moonlit NA for a while.
