Too Much MusicThe Creativity Rebellion: Escaping Big Tech’s Art Heist (Part 2)Greg and Alison return to detonate the incendiary claim that ended Part 1: Can you make art without selling your soul to capitalism? They dissect the music industry’s machinery, Spotify’s frictionless decay, and the eerie rise of AI-generated content while revealing how these forces drain creativity and trap artists. But hope sparks in the Fediverse: Alison shares her dive into Mastodon’s nerd-utopia, where community-run festivals like the Radio Free Fedi Fest and raw hardware synths fuel a rebellion against the attention economy. From Yamaha CS-30 patching rituals to the power of inefficient creativity, this manifesto declare...2025-07-3137 minToo Much MusicThe Attention Heist: How Big Tech Hijacked Our Brains (Part 1)Greg and Alison dive headfirst into the toxic grip of big tech on creativity and mental autonomy. Sharing raw personal journeys from Alison’s early Facebook rebellion to Greg’s radical "de-Googling" in the mountains of New Hampshire, they dissect how algorithms poison focus, erode privacy, and stifle artistic expression. Your fearless hosts then expose the hidden cost of "engagement": stolen attention spans, fractured communities, and a world where making art feels impossible.

They delve into the technical and philosophical differences between operating systems, characterizing macOS as a stable but closed "walled garden" and Linux as a powerful, open, but more demanding environment, particularly concerning the challenge of third-party plugin compatibility.

Key topics include the distinct studio setups of both hosts, one embracing an entirely out-of-the-box recording paradigm and the other integrating analog mixing with DAW-based capture, both aiming to circumvent the creative impediments often associated with computer-based production. The discussion highlights how tactile interfaces and the inherent characteristics of physical instruments can foster a more immediate, focused, and arguably more authentic engagement with the compositional and performance process, moving away from the "work zone"...2025-06-2658 min
