What’s new this week? A lot.
I’ve been editing and arranging the video, getting all the sands in order. As part of this, I’ve been cutting up and stretching around different pieces. This has caused some bits of music to get very disformed and messed up. It’s got to a point where I’ve completely blasphemised 2024-03-11 18:26:33 +0000 UTC View Post

What’s new this week?
Whenever I’m making a video, I repeatedly export what I’ve got so far. It’s partly to make another form of backup. And it’s partly so that I can rewatch it again and again. To make notes on any changes I want to make.
I end up with loads of exported videos. They’re all different. They sh...

No, this isn’t a TODEPOND PONDCAST. This is an update where I ask you to CHOOSE something.
These were way more common back in the day. Those of you who’ve been around for a while will remember them. Recently, I’ve been working slower, so there haven’t been so many. But the new video is getting gradually closer… so here we are again!

Arroost is a machine that ticks forwards at a speed of 120 beats-per-minute. Whenever it does this, all ‘pulses’ in the machine end.
A pulse only lasts one beat.
