Hello and welcome to another day of news



I have submitted the Waaave Pool DSK Pro kickstarter for review.  Check back soon or subscribe to my mailing list to get notified when it goes on sale!  Download WPDSKPRO free edition rn either way and get a taste of whats going on with my new video synthesis software!  



Check out my video intro to WPDSK pro btw!  I will be, going forward, only choosing the doofiest facial expressions for my thumbnails.  But none of that dead eyed a/b tested dude perfect/mr beast shite.  Like just 100% organic dumb faces.



Paloma and I are bringing our a/v colab project Reality Orp up to ChaShaMa north for a very special Weird Music Night for Upstate Arts Weekend Saturday June 27!



I will be doing a short performance and presentation for the closing night of Restructuring Realities at the Ely Center in New Haven, Ct.  Come out early and check out the install that I and Paloma Kop have in the gallery along with many others.

Other Fun Links


I have not bought one of these 8088 clones yet but still really low key lurking on a bunch of aliexpress listings.



Hopping back on another jag of my 3 year bender of Moonriders albums (not counting the 2 years previous of just Suzuki Keiichi).  I more or less get obsessed with about 3-5 different albums of theirs per year.  Luckily they put a lot of stuff out between ~ 1977-2020 so this’ll probably keep going on for another couple years.  Until I can find a trove of other Moonriders alum solo stuff.




Book Rec: I finished up the recent Adrian Tchiakovsky book “Pretenders to the Throne of God”.  Devoured pretty quickly.  If you’ve read any previous of this series (Tyrant Philosphers) you’ll enjoy this one for sure.  If you’ve read none of them, you can still hop right in here without missing much.  Every book in the series tells a completely self contained Mosaic Story about some occupation or campaign of a colonizing empire in a world built out of every fantasy/horror trope you’ve ever heard of (+ about 20 or so more you’d never think of) and how things tend to strikingly off the rails for almost every viewpoint character.



Saw the Furious in theaters last weekend.  Honestly one of the most impressive martial arts films I’ve seen come out in recent years.  It always helps to have Yayan Ruhian on your team.  The penultimate fight scene with a 5 person melee between two teams of two and one person fighting against them all was really one of a kind.  This is definitely a post John Wick action film as well, but with levels of bloody violence I’d place closer to later Rambos than any of the more mainstream Hong Kong fare.

Hello and welcome to my News!


Its new, its free, its does pretty much everything the original VSERPI Waaave Pool and WPDSK does but cooler and better.  Visit the web site to find out more and download!  Stay tuned for the kickstarter for the paid upgrade version to happen later this month.
Also there is a coupon for 50% off Gravity Waaaves DSK hidden in the installer for WPDSK Pro, so that might be cool.  This offer expires 6-17-26.



Also as a general heads up: I'll be starting development on the next gen VSERPI 2.0 later this year, and I will only be sharing images, DIY instructions, and limited sales offers to folks who have supported my patreon for at least 6 months for at least 5usd a month.  So if you sign up this month, you will be elible for when things really kick off this December.



I have another round of my Introduction to Video Art Class happening this November at polyphaseportal.xyz.  First round went pretty well, if i keep getting good turnouts & engaged students i'll try and get more regular classes on the horizon.



Video Sync 2026 is happening this September 26-27 in Minneapolis, Minnesota!  Early bird tickets go on sale very soon.  I'll be sending out a mailer to VS subscribers soon, sub to that list as well for more granular updates on that realm.




Here are some fun links for shits and giggles

Theres the second book of this Peter F Hamilton book duology coming out in a couple weeks.  Pulpy tolsotoyesque epic post human space opera.

Radiant Star by ann leckie was pretty great too.  Honestly quite a bit better than the other stand alone radch universe novels.



Whoever directed this shawna lee video really had a good time with a CVI.  Whoever ripped this video had some issues with de-interlacing.



Puli Puli!



real quality berlin school tinged prog



looking forward to watching this movie!



cool video made with gravity waaaves!

February 12 2026


Hello all! its been a long time since I updated things on this main page here.  Probably because I’ve been updating so many other websites in the meanwhile.  When did I become someone with so many websites?  Probably a slow gradient trailing off from me totally fading off of any social media, even the mastodons.  


- I edited the Polyphase Portal website to add my new upcoming Polyphase Portal Class: Introduction to Video Art.  My first online class in years!  And maybe my last if no one signs up like they did last time I posted one lol.
 


- Not quite a website but a message board: VSE community on scanlines 
   I’ve updated and reorganized the feel of what was previously and incredibly confusingly known as the “video waaaaves” channel on scanlines.xyz to better reflect the multiple ecospheres aspect of the VSE world.  
  Going forward, the VSE community on scanlines is where I’ll be posting the majority of more granular news on VSE development, for example if you want to stay up to date on GWDSK versions and find out step by step whats going on with the new Waaave Pool DSK and next gen VSERPI stuff, stay tuned over theres!  I’m also going to be migrating this current website right here to a couple of new websites over the next year or so and one of my goals is to ensure that all the VSERPI DIY and troubleshooting info is firmly ensconced in a wiki page on the VSE community page whence all of that happens.  I’d love to have some help with that, the whole site is very well set up for users to archive information, and seeing as up until now there hasn’t really been any middle ground between the cacophany of the VSE discord and my stale ass website, this should be a promising 



- I’ve been continuing work refining the main Video Synthesis Ecosphere Website!  nothing super flashy to note here, just yet another website that I guess I’m editing on a semi-regular basis.  I made a new logo for the VSEDSK that i think is like kind of gross but It’ll have to do for now.  




- I’ve also been doing lots of work on the Video Sync website to document the 2025 edition.  This is along side other projects where I’m working on creating a book and documentary on the event!  I don’t have the whole updated 2025 part of the site complete but for now you can check out
    Performances
    Presentations
    Booths
    General Gallery



- I don’t think adding new gallerys to my ko-fi sticker club page to show off all the cool stickers i sent out last year counts as editing a website.  Either way check it out and maybe join if you too want cool stickers like this infesting your local flat surfaces.




- I also made a website for this dumb thing.  I don’t know whats going on here.  

- And heres an even more mysterious website??? Where do they all come from?!?!
