Just found this tiny little gold nugget from the end of 2015 in Wikiloops, from Ms Patty and Mr Paul:
Awesome. Thanks Patty & Paul – and thanks to you for listening.
Cool :)
One of the neighbours’ cats just walked over my notebook, pressing the key combination to take a screenshot. So he’s an IT cat… interesting…
… and yes, we’re open for visitors. Both human & feline… 🙂
As always, thanks for reading 🙂
Setting output levels in Ardour
Some fellow musician in Wikiloops asked about output levels of songs, and how to get these. I tried to answer it to my best knowledge, and also explained how *I* do this using Ardour. Since version 6.3 of Ardour there are two ways to export to a certain loudness level, and I hadn’t fully explained that before, so I did it now – and made a short howto video about it:
In case that is useful, I’m glad that I could help. And as always, thanks for reading, and watching/listening.
Ltnh: Ray’s game of harmonic notes
I wrote about ‘my’ version of Ray’s game in April 2018, and shortly after that, Ray uploaded a video compilation of his collected tracks to Youtube – watch and listen:
Awesome. And what an honour to be a small part of it. Thanks Ray & everyone, and thanks to you for watching and for listening.
You play on
What an awesome track from Anne and from Benjamin – just had to grab one of my instruments and to play… listen to “You play on” on Wikiloops please, and if you like it give some thumb ups to the musicians. Thanks!
P.S.: got a remix from David after an hour or so already – thanks a lot my friend!
As always, thanks for listening.
Up in D Dorian
Sat down with my guitar to try out recording with the new Ardour 6.8, then decided to speed up the whole thing, and to continue with an off-beat metronome, and with my bass. I uploaded the whole short uptempo track plus one with my bass only to Wikiloops, now hoping for remixes onto this shorty:
As always, thanks for listening.
What a nice remix!
Got a remix on a duet of Shi & me yesterday, from Croatian drummer ‘denisk’ who didn’t only play the perfect drums for the track, but also added his first ever guitar recording on our classic (in Jazz) ii-V-I progression. I also really like how he resolved my tritone in the middle, really cool. So what started as a lovely gospel-like a capella in Wales now went through Europe in a \ (backslash) kind of line…
Thanks again to ‘denisk’ and to Shi – and thanks to you for listening.
Jango Edwards & Friends Roadshow – Springtime
Music of some friends I hung out with when I was younger. Much younger, like 22. And although today’s kids might not know it, but we had bass players before Joe Dart who could play awesome 16th grooves (the one in here is Michi Ritter from Cologne):
In case you want to hear more, my friend Dominik von Senger – who wrote that piece above together with Jango – has uploaded both sides of that ’79 vinyl record, so here are
and
Enjoy, and give the guys a thumbs-up on the tube if you liked it 🙂 As always, thanks for listening.
Although a bit too early, the praise is still well deserved
Found this very positive article about the new and upcoming version of Debian 11 “Bullseye” in The Register yesterday. And although its author writes about a “release” a bit too early (RC2 is just out), his praise for this universal operating system is still well deserved, and his thoughts on topics like Debian vs. Arch or other things are very much congruent with my own ones.
So although I really recommend reading the article – especially if you heard about rumors of an upcoming Windows 11 (which will force you into using a Microsoft account if you got the “Home” version) – the real facts are here:
Full Freeze starts on 2021-07-17
The current RC2 (release *candidate* 2) can be downloaded here – most normal PCs would need the amd64 variant of this.
The work-in-progress release notes – and this page also tells you that it’s *not yet* released – can be found here. The planned release date is July 31st which could still change, so let’s wait and see.
But I know what I will download and use for the next 4- 5 years or until Debian 12 will be out. For those of you who don’t know much about it, see more on the Debian homepage. And thanks to the whole team for your work!
Cold rain
I had this track on my computer since quite a while, and finally sat down to remix it, and to play a very sparse bass onto it as well:
Thanks to Fabricio L and to Shi for their wonderful music, and thanks to you for listening.
