My biggest short term goal is Economic Democracy for everyone. A simpler wording would be "everything for everyone". Practical breakdown includes, but is not limited to: Free access to food, housing, clothing, education, transportation and computation. I am entirely anti capitalist and I regard any and all speculation as fundamentally unacceptable. My biggest long term goal is a fun times fully automated luxury space communism with optional mind uploading for all.You need to know that about me.

My name is Daniel M Karlsson. I am a Swedish composer living in Stockholm. I primarily write and perform computer music. I also maintain SuperClean which is an open source software project which aims to be a framework that makes organizing sound and making music in SuperCollider more accessible and fun. I work part time at the (royal) Institute of Art (aka Mejan) in Stockholm where I run Lyssningsrum, a 17.4 speaker dome housed in a purpose built room with extremely dry acoustics.

Awful idea for a conceptual art piece (I detest these, always):

Stochastically choose a single sample from every single track on one of the popular streaming music platforms. I am certain that this would be indistinguishable from white noise.

Inviting and enduring the storm of litigation that is sure to follow is the piece. It’s a performance piece.
Seeking out virality is utterly loathsome to me.

If someone else did it to call in to question the idea of intellectual property, I’d boost it.

I am officially in love with my new stunt guitar. Got thoroughly taken to a whole new place today. Found this style of playing using a bow that gives me so much pleasure.
I was dug in deep playing it all afternoon. Can't wait to play it with the band tomorrow night.

Not one to brag but, I did flash a 6A+ today. Nice feeling to be on my way back to where I was before the world ended.

It is so creepy to have my computer eavesdropping on me and then recommending stuff to me. I really wish it would stop. But you know, serves me right for using the popular short video clip site. I should stop using it.

I loved Carmen Salinas in Valet. I laughed so hard almost every time she had a line.

I met a friend of my wife's from when she studied architectural lighting design for the first time today. We all went for a long walk together and talked. We had dinner afterwards. We covered a large gamut of topics. This great act came up in conversation. Have you seen it?

I’m going to commit to leaving some things to mystery.

I now were a big furry robe indoors. It's cozy and comfy. It's black and long and the fabric reminds me of cuddly bear type kids fabrics. It cost les than a meal a long time ago. It was already in my closet so I did not have to buy it. This robe I guess is like a smoking jacket. I don't smoke. I dunno. This is cheaper than running the electrical heaters I can tell you that.

I finished a track using a glass bowl and a piano hammer today. You can listen to the track, look at the code, download the samples I made and read a little log entry about the process here if you like:

I recorded some dried plants and now I have this elaborate bespoke noise which is a total dud. Even I can't win 'em all.

Tempted to take a four year nap.
