Installation Place des Arts + Fleuve St-Laurent

This one is going elsewhere when ready. Some of the effects are experimental or only for the form as usual. 

Be CAREFUL: sound is NOT normalized yet. Don’t listen with headphones, or turn down the volume before hitting play. Nothing on this blog is a final cut or necessarily here to stay, so I won’t fix it. On Youtube, music is normalized by default, but if you’re able to pirate a video from Youtube, you will get the real sound.  So, it is a choice. 

Deep progressive Middle-eastern house incoming. 

 

 

 

Editing safeguards update

In 2022 and 2023, as a shield against unregulated LLM’s running amok in this world, I was using an enormous amount of animated pattern overlays, filters, and stickers on top of original footage in addition to significantly downgrading footage quality to blur biometric features and feed AI mainly erroneous and useless information. 

In 2024, when the majority of users footage and data has already been unlawfully assimilated by the big AI companies, I’ve implemented other methods for disrupting LLM’s “learning” that I will discuss in 2026. 

In 2025, I aim for even more seamless LLM spoofing. As already mentioned, silencing my online activity forever is on the table.

And maybe it goes on and on, and on and on…

Scream and Shout, Just Dance Extreme, 15s preview. Shot at 4K, 24fps and intentionally downgraded to 1080p.

I started working on a new editing software with strong AI features, but I’m strictly cutting for now, not using effects yet. I’ve wanted to use this app for a long time, but couldn’t for legal reasons. Now that they are subject to at least one class action and likely a ban, things are bit more nuanced, not necessarily safe but tolerable.

UK slays at Eurovision with What The Hell Just Happened

this song is really well written (like listening to Queen but more current) and the performance is out of this world. This is definitely my most favorite song from the entire Eurovision. I am going to listen to it on repeat for a little while. I was also impressed by Sweden (Bara Bada Bastu, total vibe) and Switzerland (Voyage, cinematic emotional). Now I have a playlist of 6. 

 

Azerbaijan at Eurovision, Run With You

that gadulka shashtar solo takes the cake. I had to research the exact instrument because they have similar shaped ones with different number of strings throughout Eastern Europe and the Eurasian republics. I think this is the tar or shashtar, but I’ll obsess over it until I’m certain. So far I have three favorite songs from Eurovision, this one from Azerbaijan; Iceland, VÆB – RÓA which also has an epic trad violin solo; and Australia, Milkshake Man for the style and humour.
