Hello World!

I'm a new student to coding-- excited to make some cool new things happen!

Today I'm making a soundtrack to code to on Spotify which I'm sure will be the first of many! This one is frenetic, expansive, and lush with lots of ear candy.

The inspiration for this playlist is an old chatroom on turntable.fm which was one of the earlier "listen together" platforms and had cute avatars you can see above. There was a room called Coding Soundtrack that I would hang out in long before I got into programming. I think TT.FM, now defunct, is still unmatched for group listening. "DJs", limited to five at a time, would first hang out for a while as listeners and after working their way through the queue would get the chance to be on stage. It was so fun!

I'm coming from being primarily focused on my electronic music project called Big Sister! If you like what you hear I'd love to point you towards my A/V sets which are less bite-sized immersive audio visual music pieces right here as well as my other links and creations. I'll also be doing more Twitch streams soon as I've recently started incorporating DJ sets into my performances where in the past I've always played all-original sets-- it's been a lot of fun so I'm excited to do it more!

Twitter + Socials

I made a new Twitter account to use for non-music stuff and I'd like to connect with you all there.

Check Out bcrypt!

One twitter account I recommend is Yan "bcrypt" who I became aware of through the dance music scene. She posts lots of interesting stuff about privacy and security and new tech, she was an early dev for Brave iirc, and she posts other fun stuff that's hard to categorize like this drawing of the US she did from memory.

I'd also like to specifically mention my Discord Server because it's one of my favorite platforms for connecting. It's primarily music-focused but it'll be good to have some new friends in the mix!

Thanks for having me, DEV community!
