  • I’m not much into it but I think Polyphia is a good example. I once got down a rabbit hole of related bands on YouTube, I don’t remember the names but it definitely is a scene. It’s hyper technical, definitely progressive, but you’ll hear little if any overdrive, kind of like the latest Tool album but taking it even further.

    Tim Hansen from Polyphia is like nothing I’ve ever heard. He even plays on nylon strings most of the time, and he just shreds the fuck out of it. Check him out on YouTube if you haven’t already!




  • Actually i’ve had the rare privilege of working in companies that really valued their employee’s wellbeing. At least for some time. It was a combination of inexperienced founders, really convinced managers, and super enthusiastic investors who didn’t really know how to crack the market so they kind of gave us all freedom to do as we pleased. This was all pre-COVID of course but it was a blast to waste millionaire money for a few years.

    Because magic has in common verbiage typically been used to describe phenomena we don’t know the mechanism behind

    I would argue that this is what makes it particularly useful. Magic provide a language to describe those phenomena that don’t have a mechanistic explanation yet. That in turn allows people to explore those phenomena in a structured way. That structure may be wrong or arbitrary but it is still better than going in blind.
