buying jpegs tonight

I poured a year of my heart, soul and everything into this. Today wasn’t a good day and I’m sorry. I had to pause and catch my breath. We did say we would let the community decide and I should not have deviated. Let’s open this back up and embrace the outcome. Resumes at 2pm PST

It is with incredible excitement I share this next step in my blockchain art and music journey with you. What are The Orbs & why did want to create them? A thread 🧵

imagine musicians being able to create anything they want without the pressure of algorithms, labels, managers, etc

Happy 25th birthday to Movement in Still Life! 🎉 That album was a turning point for me—pushing boundaries, exploring new sounds, and having fun with it. It’s amazing to see how much it’s meant to so many of you over the years ❤️

Grateful to have spoken today to the senate AI caucus about creating guidelines for ethical AI on behalf of artists and musicians. Thank you to @UMG & @RIAA for having me

Knowing Love Comes Again still resonates with so many after all this time brings me joy ❤️

Listening to @Leftfield Leftisim for a Saturday night gym session. There are very few (less than 10 maybe even 5) records that meet this gold standard of compositional innovation and recording in the 90’s. Record is absolutely incredible to this day. Hats off.

This work is too important to me to keep going the way it’s gone, so I think it’s best for the work to stop the auction. I want to thank you guys for taking this journey with me, I’ve learned a lot and look forward to the next chapter

New music coming soon 👀

My entire career I’ve been told I can’t do things - I remember first trying to get my music signed and being laughed out of record exec offices. I had managers tell me not to make music software - it’s for nerds. You can’t make such long songs. You can’t score films. ⬇️

Finally can announce what I’ve been working on for the past 10 months coindesk.com/grammy-nominee-…

Genesis.json auction goes live in 5 minutes on @SuperRare - and will be live for 48 hours. Beyond proud & excited ✨ superrare.co/artwork-v2/gene…

finally finished 3 weeks of recording - 2,068 takes later and I am WIPED out lol. Now the real work begins, time correcting, mixing and mastering. But first looking forward to getting home to my own bed for a bit.

This beauty is another Felt Piano - this time a Legendary Velocity Diamond (audio reactivity on these is BEAUTIFUL IRL) - this in aeolian Mode. Completely live from the blockchain - forever ❤️❤️

It’s been close to 15 years since @tiesto & I wrote Love Comes Again - still one of my favorites. Who thinks we should Tijs and I should make some more magic together?

A thread on the path to forgiveness 🧵 I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the complexities of relationships of late, especially those we forge with our parents. My own journey with my dad hasn’t always been easy, especially during my younger years. I’ve come to appreciate the profound power of meeting someone where they are, especially when that someone is a parent. Forgiveness, grace, and compassion aren’t just virtues to aspire to—they’re tools for healing. They allow us to create space in our lives and our hearts for understanding and reconciliation. I’ve learned that healing together is not just possible; it’s a path to a deeper connection and understanding. The act of extending forgiveness is transformative. It’s not about forgetting the past but about embracing the present and future with an open heart. Grace is about giving what wasn’t asked for: understanding, patience, and love. Compassion involves seeing beyond the surface, recognizing the struggles and pain that may have driven words and actions. This journey of reconciliation has made me realize the strength in vulnerability. Meeting my dad where he is, with all the imperfections (his and mine) and past grievances, has opened up a new chapter in our relationship. It’s a chapter where dialogue replaces silence, understanding supersedes judgment, and love grows in the spaces left by forgiven hurts. What I’ve found is that this space we create through forgiveness, grace, and compassion allows us to see our parents not just as the figures of authority from our childhood but as human beings with their own stories, challenges, and dreams. It’s a space where healing begins, not just for past wounds but for the soul, making room for a future where love and understanding can flourish. To anyone navigating the path of reconnecting with a parent with whom you’ve had a difficult relationship, know that it can be a journey worth taking. It’s about finding peace, not just with them, but within yourself. And in this peace, there’s immense power—the power to heal, to grow, and to love more deeply than you ever thought possible.

You can’t, you can’t, you can’t. Well, my suggestion for times when you feel misunderstood and people are telling you why you cannot do something - something you believe in and fulfills you creatively - is to keep pushing. Keep innovating. Keep creating. The world needs your art

If you love someone - let them know. If someone has impacted your life in a positive way, big or small, tell them. Life is *so* short, uncertain and tomorrow is not promised. Let those you love know they are loved, always ❤️

Sometimes I think people forget that when an artist of musician is sharing something they created, it can feel like sharing a page out of a diary. No matter how much time passes, I still get nervous sharing something I created with the world. ⬇️

I hope you’re sitting down when you watch this! Haven’t been this excited in ages. Pre Order / Pre Save The Lost Art of Longing here: link.btmusic.com/TLAOL1

Found a video of me making a song from scratch in 2018…may not mean much now, but might soon 👀

Went to see the new Bond movie tonight, during the opening credits (which are incredible by the way) my wife leaned over and said, “all I see are NFTs” 😂 me too babe. Me too

Have been out of office . Spending the last few days in my favorite place, underwater 🐠🦈 #maldives

❤️

My intent has always been art first and I have faith in this community that we are building together. theorbs.io

Just had the most AMAZING call with the @GoGalaGames @GoGalaMusic @GalaFilms teams. How do I tell you we have epic stuff coming without everyone saying wen? You guys are going to freak out.

THE ORBS ARE ALIVE! Refresh your metadata opensea.io/collection/theorb…

Can you believe Flaming June was released on this day 20 years ago?!

Prayers for his friends and family. It really hit me how profoundly sad it is to loose someone just getting started. If you’re an artist you should read this. There is blood on these people’s hands. junkee.com/avicii-death-indu…

imagine being able to support musicians and artists you love directly

You will be able to hear it soon & even sooner if you are in India. I am scoring my first Bollywood film, it’s a thriller called Ittefaq!

Day one: let’s go!

Really having a moment right now, this truly feels like the first time in my career I have been fully seen for everything I do - too much for a tweet - but so grateful for this experience

wen reveal? tuesday. #theorbs

When I was 11 years old I saw Blade Runner for the first time. I rode my bike up rockville pike to the movies, I must have watched it three times in a row. That score is what made me want to score films as an adult. Rest In Peace to one of my heroes, Vangelis ❤️ 🎹

happy christmas!

I love analog synths. that’s it. that’s the tweet.

Thrilled to share with you my new (& second) collaboration with the unparalleled @SpitfireAudio, Polaris. We call it an Orchestral Synthesizer. A thread about what it is and the creation behind it 🧵 piped.video/watch?v=c3Bfh560…

my first ever NFT collab with @jstngraphics is now live on @SuperRare ✨

such a great feeling when something you’re working really hard on starts to take shape ✨

gm to those who believe artists & musicians should be paid fairly for their artistic works & gm to those only 🐸☕️

new music. new software. new art.

Anytime someone questions if aliens are real, I always wonder how much time they’ve spent underwater

Not much has changed tbh @RolandLifestyle

For those that it holds signifance, I wish you the most beautiful and blessed Christmas Eve. I’m getting snuggled up and excited to see the smile on my wife and daughters face in the am. Peace on earth and goodwill towards everyone. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁

This Binary Universe - the next chapter 7.11.23

It’s been a long time coming 🌳

Hello NYC. I’m holding in my hand - 3 years of hard work. My first hardware, inbound 2024. LFG 🚀🚀

I am so excited about projects I have in the pipeline. Overwhelmed a bit about it all too, the excitement outweighs that. Whatever you are working on, keep pushing. Doing the work while in the valleys is what gets you to the peaks. Night world ❤️

One of the best feelings in the world is creating something and being truly proud of it. I’ve got some music to share that I am bursting at the seams to release.

What a blast @asot so great to hang with @REALMAORLEVI @MarkusSchulz @FerryCorsten @arminvanbuuren @iBluestone and all my brothers in Trance. (Ilan you say trounce. 😂I like this). @BlackHoleRec here we come! @ADE_NL so far has been epic.

Happy 7th wedding anniversary to the love of my life and best friend ❤️ Had the best week together in Maine, back to life tomorrow

Buying JPGS 🚀🚀🚀 Phantom wallet locked and loaded. Where’s the good stuff!

Excited to have the legendary @pauloakenfold remix my classic track Flaming June. Check it out

Excited about the new music I have coming out this year. Looking forward to sharing it all with you ❤️

So stoked to be apart of the #888innercircle - can’t wait to see where this goes 👀⭕️✨

have travelled all around the world but one of my favorite views of all is from our kitchen window ❤️ happy sunday

What’s everybody up to today? I’m having a chill Saturday at home myself ❤️

Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time. Happy Sunday ❤️

Not a lot going on at the moment 👀

Had a nice weekend offline in NYC with my wife. Saw some friends, saw some art, enjoyed the spring weather. Now back home and on the grind. LFG 🔥

❤️

So I am having this conversation privately with friends and peers the last 3-4 years and I’m going to propose it here publicly. We need to create new intellectual property right laws that protect an artist as a training set.

The music industry is wild 😂 if more people only knew what truly goes on behind the scenes, tbh I feel like artists should talk about it more candidly. Maybe I will at a point. SMH.

This is nuts. This is easily going to cross 500,000 streams by midnight EST. *FIRST WEEKEND* I don’t think I’ve ever made a record that’s done that in 3 days.

LET’S DO THIS!!! 🚀🚀

Tomorrow!!! Too excited to sleep. Goodnight ❤️🚀🔥👀

I wrote & released This Binary Universe close to 18 years ago - excited to share it has been remastered for steaming, CD & very highly requested vinyl. Sign up here to be the first to grab the limited edition vinyl blackhole.lnk.to/tburemaster… @BlackHoleRec

Every time I see this, it always blows my mind.

CONGRATULATIONS @pranksyNFT!!!!!

exciting. big. things. happening.

Happy New Year - I hope this is your best year yet ❤️

Heading to Nashville to record with an orchestra for a month! Excited and nervous - unlike with DJing, if you mess up even a little, the entire orchestra knows 😂 Happy Friday

In a nutshell.

something very cool coming in june 👀

Just unboxed the new MacBook Pro 16” and I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have a physical ESC key again 🥲

have a beautiful sunday friends ❤️

After a year in stealth mode, merging AI prowess with the essence of music, we're on the brink of unveiling a future where technology harmonizes with creativity. The countdown to share our journey's fruits begins. Excitement ahead, revelations imminent.

It is truly a special feeling listening to a finished piece of music you are proud of. Looking forward to sharing this one (and more) with you this year ❤️

My new album The Secret Language of Trees is out now Available here:tinyurl.com/yf89h9u7 Last night was the end of a 15th (can’t believe it) cycle. The night before an album release (and Volume 7 of This Binary Universe). It was with unspeakable joy I spent last night with friends, fans and peers blindfolded listening to The Secret Language of Trees. The questions and conversations were thrilling, thoughtful and insightful. It was wonderful. This morning woke up and TSLOT had hit the #1 electronic album spot on iTunes. To say I’m grateful that you guys have supported me in all these years of exploration and music making, is just - not enough. I legit love you guys and will never have the words to express my gratitude. Thank you for the gift of your time, attention and listening, it’s profoundly appreciated. I hope this music accompanies you on beautiful new adventures and inspires some amazing new things in your life. I’ll thank you the only way I know how, with more music.

looking forward to this project finally being out in the world this year ❤️

Quality dance music is not 3 minutes long. It's not 1:30 to the next drop, it is not shitty and overly loud, it is not all soft synths
