Yeah, not to fart in the hot tub here but that's kinda what I was hoping to get some background on. Is it sketch for me to smash the like on these posts? He definitely has always had <https://i.discogs.com/WkBh2YBAJygJPZNKuLGSpQic6KXZi1f9BSDLZ28t7Lk/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:260/w:260/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9BLTUwMC0x/MTE5ODY5NjgwLmpw/Zw.jpeg> this kind of dense, academic-adjacent-content+transgressive-punk-form style of writing (I'm a dropout so this is probably a goofy/inappropriate comparison but kinda "IDM George Bataille, minus the perversion"?) and I've always really appreciated it as a unique form of artist communication far more artful and inspiring than the average electronic musician's verbal communications. In the context of an avant garde music producer, it's unique and exciting, but I hope this isn't too rude to say out loud but in the context of instagram, the sheer volume of these posts make me wonder if there isn't a pinch of schizophrenia in the mix?
