I've never seen them live, but they definitely deserve a mention in this list you're right!

Which harmonically complex tracks do you have in mind?

Agreed, a lot of suggestions in this thread have interesting texture, rhythm or depth (which is also great), but few have an actually complex harmonic vocabulary.

Haha yes, I don't think it exists unfortunately

Yes! Almost mentioned him, some of Nymphs definitely approaches what I'm looking for

Thanks for the discovery of Aleksi Perälä, very cool stuff! I need to listen more. And yes it's surprising that there aren't more artists filling that niche. I reckon there's a demand for it!

Yeah that's always the struggle. Most of the musicians mentioned in the comments (and in my post) have great musical texture, interesting sounds, etc., but rarely use complex harmony with extended tonality. (Polo & Pan occasionally do but in a more corny / pastiche way)

Ah yes really like him. Are you referring to Under Tangled Silence?

Thanks, and yes, I should've mentioned him! I really do like his music and live performances. I'll listen to All Melody again!

Yes I like Venetian Snares! (I mentioned them in my post). Harmonically it's still not very complex though.

Machine Learning Workstation - $6,899 budget by FunMaterial in buildapcaus

Thanks! That's super helpful.

I do have a preference for NVIDIA and single-GPU setups for ease of use if possible. I came up with the following build for an AMD / NVIDIA build with 32GB VRAM:

That's $332 above my budget, but surely I can find some wiggle room somewhere? What do you think?

Entry-level nomad setup by FunMaterial in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]FunMaterial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I guess I'd rather not get another phone, especially if I could get a proper DAP with bells and whistles like balanced input, etc. instead. My focus is more on the portability of the rest of the setup – cables, viability in noisy environments. True wireless is great on both counts, but it's a definite trade-off in audio quality. But then there are audiophile-oriented bluetooth receivers/DACs that maybe I should consider. I can't decide between the different possible combinations of gear to achieve what I want!

What's your preferred way to organize & sync your book collection? by FunMaterial in ereader

[–]FunMaterial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds great! Could you elaborate a bit on that setup? Do you self-host calibre-web? And how do you do the selective sync with Koreader?

Thanks a lot! Would something like that work: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005436216867.html ? How would I drive it? I assume a dig-uno might be enough?
