fLaMEd Fury speaks on Wonders of Web Weaving podcast

I wrote about the Wonders of Web Weaving podcast on Monday, and I'm back. A couple of days ago, an interview with New Zealand/Aotearoa IndieWeb blogger fLaMEd, of fLaMEd Fury, was posted. FlaMEd has been online with a personal website around the same time as I have — the late 1990's — so the show made for fascinating listening. Tune in if you get a chance.

I've spent 8 months working on this "art piece". It's called "Treatise on Unprofitableness". This is a fusion of some fantasy electronic music and small story I wrote. I wanted to make something that isn’t an audiobook or a soundtrack, but something where both parts are equally important, yet separable.

Aphex Twin once said that electronic music is naturally abstract. And it is. I think that’s part of what makes it cool. But I’m not entirely sure it always has to be. For example, when I listen to electronic music, I often unconsciously fill it with my own non-abstract memories and feelings. And as I was making this, I started wondering what the opposite, not abstract direction could sound like.

The novel part: set during the 17th century theatre ban in London by puritans. It follows an actor, whose entire profession has been declared illegal and useless, and he starts asking himself what is useful and what is not.

And the music part isn't amorphic, you'll get some evolving, diverse and melodic electronic music in the style of 90s IDM.

You can listn-read it here: https://flenyo.com/treatise_on_unprofitableness.html

It'll take around 30 minutes, but I'll be very thankful to anyone for any kind of feedback! And yeah, I really need feedback

Unquestioningly the most vapid thing I’ve read all year. I shared a much better post earlier but these tech dunderheads really have no idea what they are building. It’s like trying to build a library and acting confused why everybody would actually be against book bans.

Yesterday I was on a call talking about the indieWeb in Portuguese and oof. The brain power of translating and saying things I only ever thought in English was a whole workout. 😮‍💨

On the concept of “making content”—why SEO sucks, and why the IndieWeb is much better.

I'm surprised the seminal series "Rebooting the Blogosphere" by @stephtara didn't get more traction here back in September/October (that I could see).

I just re-read them. Yes, they're rather long posts, but believe me: they're well worth your attention and your time! Brilliant analysis.
