I wrote a short blog post about a VR world called Vivarium that recently shut down.

What surprised me was not that I felt sad about it, but that the sadness felt similar to losing a real place.

I used to check in almost every evening, feed the creatures, arrange plants, change the music, take photographs. Over time it stopped feeling like software and became part of my routine.

One day it simply stopped loading.

The piece is really about ritual, digital impermanence, and what happens when emotionally meaningful virtual spaces disappear because they are no longer financially sustainable.

“A Place That No Longer Loads”

Recording pads – I’m not a great keyboard Artist but there’s something about being able to actually touch the keys as opposed to just draw in the lines❤️

So I’ve managed to get an MVP working – still needs tidying up and turned into a proper project, but it feels good to get it running – I think it’s gonna work really well for the FoundSound project I’m working on❤️

It’s really nice to be working in Max again – I love the logic of it and it’s also one of these things that you can’t just vibe Code put one prompt in and create not there’s anything wrong with that if people wanna go with that but there’s something really satisfying about working in the visual language that is Max. I’m working on a generative Soundscape creator that can be used by some of the clients I work with as I’m gonna be leading a FoundSound workshop for them and we can then use the generator to create unique Soundscape’s.

I am so lucky to live where I live❤️. I love the fact that this is on my doorstep. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. Take time to breathe.❤️
