What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit? - eviltoast

I’m seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren’t meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what’s up.

FWIW, I will stay here and probably won’t participate in the subreddit out of laziness.

    Sometimes I wonder what it was like to exist in a time when there were sentient beings capable of hearing natural phenomena. Now they are only heard as synth/sound inputs…

      haha :)

      nah, you misunderstand me (although that’s on me for not explaining in any depth whatsoever)

      I’m extremely in the every-sound-is-valid camp. as in, I don’t (for example) have an “intake” filter/process/whatever that makes hardspace things be perceived as dubstep, or any such flavour shit. but (for me at least) it is the exploration of sound itself that is fun - the composition, the production, the perception. the way it interplays with perception. all of it!

      as to the specific thing I mentioned in previous comment, the flavour I want to chase for the thing I want to make is literally using hail (possibly through modelling? not sure) as a driving input (same as people have used motion, light, and space as methods in creation)

        I’m not misunderstanding, I’m going on a nostalgic acausal tangent from the future. Which, incidentally, is the title of my next album.

        (idly, as little as I tend to make public, you can in fact see some of this in antecedent thinking on my reddit, where I asked about the state of clue of how physical different-medium materials interact to create some sound (on which I never got an answer, but I didn’t have high expectations))
