I travelled to my home country yesterday, and for the first time in a very long time, I printed my tickets. All of them, train to the airport, flight. What did I notice? Ryanair don't apparently allow to print a ticket. At least from my point of view, I…

Late evening in July 1985, on a small seaside town in the North-East of Italy. It was hot, but not as unbearable as it is now. Back then, I used to spend some time each day, usually at dusk, sitting in our courtyard looking at the sky and imagining how it…

A different kind of normalcy

The 1980s were a crazy decade for sure, and, despite my fond nostalgic memories, it was indeed a dangerous time to be alive. However, every time I stumble upon this photo, I get lost in the beauty of such a normal moment, so beautifully captured. Stewart…

So much has changed in how I manage myself in these dystopian days, not sure where to start. I've been adjusting my lifestyle, especially the forced reliance on certain technology, for a long while now. I'll be using a couple of quotes…

If we want continued growth

I just watched one of the creepiest videos ever — in terms of AI, robotics, and potential futures ahead. Like JP said in a few of his recent blog posts, 'I’m really happy to be on the back half of my life'. From their section 'The…

Growing old in the age of crap tech, and fascism

Published: February 21, 2025 16:55

I've been banging around this topic a lot lately: how shall I use technology? Particularly in the last six months. It is with a certain degree of acceptance that I'm getting to a point where I can safely say I'm done. Similarly to…

Outside the Wall

An update on the amount of accounts and services that I have removed from my life, which translated in less noise and a direct personal control over online and offline things. While I'm in a slow process of erasing Google from my life…

Simpler Things

Almost a month ago I drafted a personal plan to eschew a sizeable part of the insane lifestyle I've been somewhat following ever since tech turned itself into its current incarnation: a gargantuan mafia. Time for an update. Besides following up on account…

A new plan

Published: January 11, 2025 15:24

This might read like yet another manifesto, when in fact it's a series of choices that I have either already gone through, or am about to. In general, it's a mid-long term plan that I want to follow to regain sanity. Refuse the…

Co-production, mix, master: 'La matière même du temps'

https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/la-matiere-meme-du-temps/

Published: January 3, 2025 13:35

As I wrote three weeks ago on this blog, being back to music production feels thrilling. This is a brilliant and complex concept album, in a language foreign to me, intense and with a punk attitude. Connections I entusiastically…
