I wonder if Spawn could be realtime if she had, like, a rack of Mac Pros to throw at the problem. If so ... c'mon Holly, just head to Kickstarter! We got you!

Can we talk about how insanely awesome the Barbican show was? Full choir onstage dancing around in a creepy Midsommar fashion, apoclayptic/utopian projections onscreen, Holly dancing around and singing with the choir, vocals being manipulated in real time (which was amazing when she was singing solo). Also during Frontier there were singers located throughout the audience, suddenly getting up with spotlights on them to join in.
Plus, we all got to sing back to Holly as part of training her AI.

Saw the projections adapted to the Hexadome when it was presented as part of the Gray Area festival a couple months ago. It was fucking riveting and one of my favorite things shown.
This was one of the shows I most regretted missing out on while I was out of town in May. Very jealous of all of you.

the projections were kind of washed out by stage lighting, but I saw this show at unsound festival last week and it was great
I've seen Herndon before live and something left me a little cold, but I was in the balcony and viewing this one as a complete stage production really made it click.

lol i knew when i clicked on this that she and her cornball charlatan partner would be on some nft shit

I've been pretty disappointed with her embracing of NFTs - in general I've always liked her takes on futurism and the potential of AI etc but the NFT thing is slowly eroding my respect.
her cornball charlatan partner

Mat Dryhurst. He's def a tech nerd who has been heavily involved in that side of her music. They do a podcast together (https://interdependence.fm/) that I enjoyed early on, but he's gone all in on web3/NFT stuff, I had to bail.

I still don't have an opinion about NFTs because the whole thing confuses me. So does crypto.
― Evan, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 18:26 (two years ago) link
i assure you its bad

I always hear that thing about all the energy that's used to store NFTs and I shut down fully at that point.

Inevitable. he went on a huge diatribe the other year about piracy, and when someone pulled him up, he was like I grew up in the middle east, I was pirating video games long before they were available to the Western public - hmmm what was someone named Dryhurst('s) family doing in the middle east in the 80s-90s?
