Need to hide faces, license plates, or screens in a video? Send the clip to Pixel & Glitch Studio and it pixelates, blurs, or blacks them out.
Want to wreck the footage on purpose? It does datamosh, pixel sorting, 8-bit, pixel art, and now ASCII video.

I don’t believe anything the administration is saying about the nationwide grounding of air travel.

My camera roll right now:
a Cybercab I spotted in my neighborhood, a payphone that still has its cord, two pumpkin buckets someone left by the road, and a truck I glitched until it broke.
Which one would you turn into a sound?

A couple of these I ran through glitch filters.
The rest are exactly how I found them. Turn the sound up on #6. That's an old Autocar rig in a warehouse, and the room noise is the best part.
The needlepoint is by Athi-Patra Ruga:
The Coronation of Unongoloza (2010), Voodoo Face (2011). Tapestry cloth and thread.
Go look up the rest of his work.

A new Friday the 13th movie, and Steve Miner is back to direct.
The scariest part was always the sound.
That “ki ki ki, ma ma ma” is Harry Manfredini’s voice run through echo.
Basically musique concrète in a slasher.
I make harsh noise as Brflux.
What horror sound still gets you?”
Friday The 13th veteran Steve Miner is officially on to direct Jason Voorhees' big-screen return, the thirteenth Friday The 13th movie.

Mariko Mori had Claude write the code for a new video installation in her retrospective.
I make video and sound art, and I build small audio apps for my students.
The AI wrote the code. The vision is still hers.
Artists, would you show AI-written code in a museum?

This plastic bag just turned Cincinnati into pure cinema.
Shot in the Rhine neighborhood of the Mohawk district in Cincinnati, Ohio — a black plastic shopping bag caught floating in the wind above brick buildings, boarded windows, and power lines.
No script. Just wind, grey sky, and a little found beauty.
Wait for the swell at :08 when the music lifts and the bag hangs mid-air. That's the American Beauty moment in real life.
Ambient soundtrack generated by my custom Grok bot for ambient soundtracks — slow-building cinematic synth to match the drift.
I'm BRFlux aka Brett — college professor who teaches art and makes art about art and noise and filmmaking and things like that. I film normal things doing strange beautiful stuff.

Blender 5.3 just got ripple editing and a rewritten blade tool in its video editor.
It's free. My video students get scared off by editing software prices.
Also, native Gaussian splats. I want to scan one of my sound sculptures.
Has anyone edited a whole video in Blender yet?
The Blender Foundation and the online community proudly present Blender 5.3 🎉
This release wraps up 2026 with new features and improvements across the board. Highlights include:
🔸 Native support for 3D Gaussian splats.
🔸 A new DLSS denoiser in the Viewport on NVIDIA GPUs.
🔸 Asset libraries can now be shared as extensions, and the Extensions platform accepts asset libraries containing public domain (CC0) assets.
🔸 A new optional Projects system makes Blender aware of context beyond the open .blend file, with project-wide features to match.
🔸 Dispersion and roughness anisotropy for glass and transmissive materials in Cycles.
🔸 New Material Lighting nodes and panoramic camera support in EEVEE.
🔸 A stack of effects for the Compositor, similar to Geometry Nodes modifiers.
🔸 Grease Pencil adds selection tools to Draw Mode, a new Carver tool that cuts shapes with proper boolean subtraction, and multi-fill for the Fill tool.
🔸 Animation & Rigging adds operators to copy and paste world-space animation and to convert rotation modes, along with friendlier playback.
🔸 A full ripple editing framework and a rewritten Blade tool in the Video Sequence Editor.
And more!

Building the thing got cheap.
Getting anyone to care is still the hard part.
I could finish a noise record by lunch. That still wouldn't tell me if anyone needed to hear it.
What's the last thing you built that nobody actually asked for?

Greg gives Cody a hypothetical that his teenage son built a startup with zero customers.
So Cody sat him down for a lesson under an hour about what to do.
Cody says use AI agents to make the ads, then see if anyone actually wants the thing.
Cody says once you do it this way, going back feels archaic.
Would you teach a kid this?
Or is this how the internet fills up with more AI ads?

Last week I let ChatGPT edit my modular synth video using an AI clone of my voice.
Now ZONOS3-Mini clones a voice right on a phone, open source, word by word.
I teach video art. Free tools my students can run at home matter.
But once your voice is cloned, who does it belong to?
Meet ZONOS3-Mini: open-source text-to-speech with voice cloning and word-level control. All on-device and super fast.
Every voice in this video is from a TTS model that can run real-time on a phone.
Comment “ZONOS” within 2 days for 20 hours of free audio.

From one paragraph, Claude Fable 5.2 designed three working electronic devices.
I build kinetic sound sculptures and pirate radio pieces.
I want to see it design a feedback noise box.
Would you trust an AI with your soldering iron?
During pre-release testing, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 worked on ambitious projects in many different fields. Here are a few.
From a one-paragraph prompt, Fable 5.2 designed three working electronic devices, including this home voice assistant hub.

Ableton Live 13 is here, and the public beta is already out.
A step sequencer, Melodyne inside Live through ARA 2, and a new drum synth.
I teach sound art. I'll be feeding the drum synth harsh noise.
Producers, which feature are you trying first?
This synth puts the visuals inside the patch, and it was vibe coded.
I build small audio apps for my sound students, so sound and image in one instrument is a rabbit hole I understand.
What would you patch the video to: the envelope or the noise?
Always wanted a synth that would have built-in visuals and punch in effects, so I vibecoded one with Opus 5.5

Okay, I'll bite.
What if I streamed my modular synth live on X?
Just harsh noise and blinking lights, patched in real time.
Is X ready for an hour of that? 👀
Streamers:
- You announce your streams on X
- Your clips are on X
- Your audience is on X
but your streams aren't on X?
here's some insider info:
Start streaming or multistreaming on X, build your audience here, and follow @XCreators for updates 👀

I have no idea how y'all burn through your Grok Bot usage so fast.
Here's mine. 1%. Resets in 4 days.
Seriously, what are you running that eats it in a day? I'm genuinely curious.

Spotify reportedly wants to let fans pay to AI-remix artists' songs.
I make harsh noise as Brflux. Imagine paying to remix a track that's already 100% distortion. Good luck finding the chorus.
Joking aside, I'd want to know who's remixing my work and where it ends up.
Artists, would you opt in? Fans, would you pay for this?

Guillermo built a record player where the crackle isn't a preset.
A simulated stylus rides the groove 384,000 times a second.
I build lo-fi browser audio tools for my students. I love when the noise comes from the system itself.
What record would you drop the needle on first?
Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app.
Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge.
So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record.
(The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)
