Screenshot from the petition websites showing which countries have crossed the threshold, which are below, and which have no support (and which are non-EU)

Specifically the petition to ban conversion therapy practices is lacking enough votes from:
- #germany (49.9%)
- #sweden (49.96%)
- #austria (25.5%)
- #Slovenia (83.14%)
- #portugal (24.46%)

We need seven countries past their thresholds AND at least 1,000,000 total votes.

So keep signing & voting!

If you're a citizen of these countries you can help advance a ban on conversion therapy practices by voting at:

A master in freezing time: Adam Badí Donoval releases new album on Mappa. This is an immense dirty ambient/cinematic soundscape pleasure to listen to - and warmly get lost in,
featuring a tape-like sound, that emphasizes urgent qualities of memories rather than making this an all too obvious or perfect direct encounter. Lovely stuff.

For those, who didn't see it yet: #Soundcloud changes user terms to assume user consent when training AI with uploaded material.
Definately time to get out, unless you want to see your music become assimilated namelessly by the auto-generating hive mind.
https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/09/soundcloud-changes-policies-to-allow-ai-training-on-user-content/

If you decide to let your music remain on Soundcloud consider changing style tags to something misleading. An AI can be mislead, and that's probably useful in this context. And another good method to degrade AI quality is to purposedly feed it with their own generations.

Feel free to discuss, #boost / #reshare.

@pawkypaul SoundCloud has now revised its terms “to make it absolutely clear [that] SoundCloud will not use [user] content to train generative AI models that aim to replicate or synthesize [a] voice, music, or likeness,” said their CEO.
However other uses of AI are not excluded, and they'll find a way to include sthg. I won't endorse by just calling it a different thing.

Drawing an air ship.
2 giant funnels to either sides
collecting rain water.
Directing the water mass straight
onto the roof terrace of an inner-grey techbro neighbour.
They're destroying a calm Berlin afternoon,
again blasting re-reprocessed techno shallowness like
emptying re-eaten canned food on fresh winter purslane

Processed spring steel, doves, breeze, chatting

@Herr Irrtum! Thank you. You don't need to be broke - or wait for other reasons - to do this. You also don't need a cassette deck. Go ahead now, dammit. ;)

#extramusic - Going through CD backups from decades ago i just found Tune Yards again. "Bird Brains" distinctively shows, how original it can get, when not everything is done by a bloody laptop with sample packs and generative patches, used by a control-freaking lone person (lad) behind.

Saw her twice live & solo back then, always a pleasure!

Coming Friday marks the 10th anniversary of Berlin's Cashmere Radio. Tune in, the main programme runs from 16h GMT+1 !!!

https://cashmereradio.com - it'll be live on FM radio aswell.

Myself i was asked to play there with @Air Cushion Finish - however unfortunately we can't manage to put a set together this time. We're hoping to repeat the attempt, when the dust (of too much work) has settled. I'll visit the radio studios around 19h that night in any case. Anybody around? @radicalmusic group @ambient group @avantgardemusic group @electroacousticmusic group @electronicmusic group
