BTW, if you don't know Benn Jordan, his YouTube content is fire. I happen to be in the intersection of things that he likes to think about, but every video I've seen of his lately deserves front page HN treatment. It is that good.

This one was particularly good, given the technical difficulties of recording low frequency sounds. I can't vouch for his conclusions, but the effort he goes to to record these sounds is crazy.

I realized just how much of a geek and obsessive he is when I watched a video about his analysis and evaluation of reverb effects.

Benn Jordan holds a special place in my Youtube viewing habits, in that he was the influence that ultimately broke my Youtube addiction. I no longer engage with their recommendation algorithm in any way.

You have to respect the integrity needed to use such a hard-won platform to de-platform yourself, in the interests of your audience.

Indeed! His content is really good. Unfortunately, I can't find the video right now, but there's one of him recording natural reverb in a tunnel that was really good. A 20 mile bike ride in the dark makes the video very dream like and pleasant.

He’s also The Flashbulb. Probably some other aliases, too, idk. But The Flashbulb is good shit.
