Dear Global Citizens of Clusterfuck Earth,

A most happy and creative 2026 to you!

As the world burns, here we are, STILL utilizing the spoils of a broken culture for creative fulfillment &/or connection. I , Biggest (Of) Paupers, remain your humble servant in this pursuit and am excited to usher in my 18th year murdering video as BPMC. What a wild ride it’s been! I’m going to try and make monthly updates my new thing, so stay tuned and check back.

What is in store for BPMC in 2026? What’s going on with the HDK-03? How is my modified PS2 coming along? All of these questions are answered below so keep reading.

Glitch PS2 Pre-order updates:

Fantastic progress has been made wrangling you your glitch PS2, that said I am indeed running behind schedule. First, both the PS2 enclosures & the hard drives arrived and did not meet my quality standards. I returned them both and purchased product samples from other manufacturers before placing full orders. This has been a slower process than I’d like. Second, two additional revisions to the control board and front panel PCB were needed. These changes in my mind were necessary to make sure you got the dopest instrument possible. Production continues through February on into march with the earliest units beginning to ship the first week of March. I hope to have all units shipped by the END of March. That is my current production goal.

HDK-03 Pre-Order Status:

The HDK-03 roll-out has indeed been delayed pending a couple of hurdles I’m currently working to finesse my way through. The 03 announcement brought valuable feedback and with it long nights reconfiguring and redesigning. With numerous HD glitch products finding their way to the light it’s important to me that I get this right to make it useful to artists and multimedia artists alike. As I continue to implement user suggestions and fine tune what is most certainly my most elaborate design yet, things continue to shift, morph and contort. I will be sharing my progress on a monthly basis in blogosphere phorm with a more detailed video coming soon. I will be announcing the Kickstarter as soon as I feel confident I can knock this shit out of the park. Thank you for the overwhelming support for the project. Stoked you’re stoked!

Boss Ass Safety Upgrade Made Possible By YOU!

I just want to share a big thank you to all the customers who supported and kept BPMC afloat in 2025. 2025 was a challenging year for me personally as I saw a significant decline in my health. The years of inhaling solder fumes, ancient plastic dust and all manor of toxic shit finally caught up to me requiring a major change in the way I work. I explored numerous solutions to keep the show on the road over here; respirators, cPAP machines, industrial fume extractors……. All options proved to be either not effective enough or to have significant downsides. It was purchasing my last resort, a 24″ ductless hooded variable exhaust vac system from SAS, that finally helped get me back on my feet. They are the same workstations you see in compounding pharmacies and industrial grade meth production facilities. Heavy shit! Seems ridiculous but it really did the trick and I’m excited to be working in a SIGNIFICANTLY less stressful environment. YOU made this happen, so thank you.

Never forget that all this shit is toxic as fuck… opening up old electronics exposes you to all manner of carcinogenic garbage… that shit accumulates over time and leads to chronic inflammatory markers. Respect your self/body and this bizarre miracle you’ve been unwittingly hurled into by the ether… protect your neck where you can. Vent your fumes out the window, wear personal protection when producing particulate, always clean up your mess, wear gloves, don’t shit where you eat, etc. Common sense stuff really, but if you’re on that DIY gleaming knowledge here and there… you may have missed the safety bit. Don’t take this life for granted, your health is truly all you’ve got.

Once again, thank you to all who supported BPMC in 2025. More updates shortly but for now that is all. I salute you in your volatile acts of self expression and artistic transgressions.

Stay wild, Stay free… Stay tuned.
