Compilations and samplers from record labels and such *should* be really great ways of finding new artists in theory. But it's strange, I almost never end up listening to compilations or samplers. I think maybe some of it is because all those artists and recording levels all over the place is a little stressful and overwhelming, and I also think it's because I usually end up focusing on LPs (or EPs or singles) from just one artist at a time. Even splits are supposed to be good for ge…

It is definitely an interesting sign of my current mental state that I am confident enough to submit 4 singles and one story to World Press Photo contest.

I wanted to grab a big, strange mix of things for the last Bandcamp Friday of 2025, so I did. Here's what I got:

This awesome t-shirt caused me to rewatch the #DaftPunk anime saga. I thought there were only 4 music videos but there are in fact many more (not for any hit singles though). Another tiny easter egg is the short drummer's back story: He's supposed to be from my home town Munich! So of course he likes beer :)

Frozen Natural Orbitals based Equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles, doubles and triples for Ionized, Double-Ionized, Electron Attached and Two-Electron Attached states
In this work, we present frozen natural orbital (FNO) based implementations of equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster (CC) with singles, doubles, and triples (SDT) for ionization potential (IP), double ionization potential (DIP), electron attachment (EA), and double electron attachment (DEA) variants. For EOM-CC with singles and doubles (SD), the FNO approach has already been studied by Krylov and co-workers for IP variant and for spin-flipping and spin-conserving excited states (respectively…

thumbing through used records at underground sounds, found b.b. king's very first LP, a 1957 compilation of hit singles from 1951 to 1956. fifteen bucks. wow.
