WIP 🎲 I have been so inspired by the High Rollers stream and all the fan art and craft that has come from it, that I thought I’d try my hand at making my own dice box. I don’t have access to the appropriate tools to make a wooden box so I’ve used what an architecture student like me has an abundance of: cardboard! The box is still without a lid and I’m still deciding on whether or not I should cover the sides with card, but I’m really happy with how it’s turned out so far! (Although some of the cutting is a bit sloppy and my tutors would pick me up for that 😂)

I would like some suggestions though: I need a quote to go on the lid!! It can be from the High Rollers streams or just a quote about DnD in general, but I would like something to do with dice and luck or summin idk. Any suggestion is a good suggestion! 😃 Much love ❤❤

MY FAVORITE SONG: February 19th, 2016

Hudson Mohawke - “Cbat” (Satin Panthers)

Well we go from one of the most frenetic and disturbed tracks to one of the glossiest, prettiest and shiniest tracks in my library.

The first time I heard this was sometime around 2011. Jose, Andres and I were at Darien’s house just hanging out. From what I gleaned, he has as massive of a music collection/knowledge that Ryo and I have. We were taking photos to promote a show that Andres and I were going to be doing, when “Cbat” came on. 

It blew my mind, of course.

The song comes in on this glorious, textured, buttery soft and gleaming intro progression. It sails as high as can be. Much like a Rustie intro, it’s amazing, beautiful and evokes emotion. 

Then… Well after that…

He bangs you over the head with the nastiest drum and bass combination every. On top of that you get the squirmiest, slimiest yet dorkiest synth melody. It sounds like birds communication to each other. It is awkwardly timed, and it rides over your trademark HudMo groove. Perfect from start to finish. This track would go on to be the formula for a countless number of trap producers to come.
