Music. Photography. Thoughts.
Today I’ve been looking at & listening to the new Ardour 7.1 free and open source software DAW on Windows 11. Looks and sounds awesome:
The music you see within that program is from Dan and Chris, you can listen to that one on Wikiloops if you’d like to. The program seems to work fine, so next step is to also install it on Linux 🙂
And like always, thanks for viewing, listening, and reading.
There you go, girls… yeah!
Make your own badges, or select some of the ready made ones – like this one:
My friend and fellow musician OliVBee from Wikiloops made an exceptional album in 2017, that was before I even had joined the ‘loops. He called that album after one of the songs’ titles, Deep Dark Blue, and I had written about and reviewed it some 3 years ago already. It’s one of the best albums I’ve ever heard *anywhere*, and this one is available only at the ‘loops:
You can listen to it on Wikiloops in its entirety. If you’re a member in Wikiloops you can also download it including a cover, so you could burn this onto a CD if you like. You can do the same as a non-member of the ‘loops if you get what we call a download ticket, starting at 2,40€ like here (you’ll get this when pressing the download button on the album’s page):
I *am* a (paying) member, and I’ve still also paid for some of these albums, because they’re worth it, and because that way, we support ourselves with keeping that platform alive and running. This is especially important since these days of Corona, and because not everyone can go out and meet other musicians (and not from around the globe as here). So if you can, go and pay for an album or two of your choice, that would help us all – thanks.
Being at it, I’ve cleaned up the home screen of my phone yesterday, and this is how it looks now:
And I don’t know if you can see it in that image, but I’ve replaced the standard Chrome browser button with one of Firefox, which leads directly to the Wikiloops start page:
Even if not that many people see my phone’s home screen, I’m still putting an ad for Wikiloops proudly in the middle of its screen. This is to say thanks to my friends and to Richard, the founder of the ‘loops.
And before I forget it: thanks also to Anne, and to all of the other wonderful musicians on Oliv’s great album! Last not least, this album is also a master class for us bass players… *and* with top pro drummers to boot! 🙂 Did I mention that I love that fretless guitar which Oliv is playing?
As always, thanks for reading (and probably for listening or even supporting us).
Normally I don’t like the terms “competition” and “art” when used together – but this one is very artistic indeed:
Awesome, all of them. And as always, thanks for viewing. This was found and posted by Hartmut in Wikiloops. Thanks for sharing it, my friend 🙂
I guess most cat friendly people asked themselves how it would be to be a cat, and to see the world from that perspective. Well now you can; just found this:
STRAY is a game developed in Southern France, and it seems to run not only on a Playstation but also on Steam – see here. But although the system requirements seem to be quite modest, I still don’t know whether this would run on Mitchie’s AMD Ryzen 5700G (with built-in graphics, we haven’t spent the money for a discrete graphics card), and on Linux of course. Maybe some of you know, and if so you could tell us…
Found via its review in The Guardian.
As always, thanks for reading.
As always, thanks for viewing.
What a nice chillout song from Andri and from Wade – couldn’t resist to add my ‘grandma’ to it:
As always, thanks to my friends and to Wikiloops for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening 🙂
What a lovely song in a Jazz Manouche style from Frankie and from Thierry – couldn’t resist to add a little bottom end to it:
As always, thanks to my friends and to Wikiloops for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening 🙂
Oh, and for this one I used foam again, close to my instrument’s bridge:
Thanks for viewing.
I had this wonderful song from Sami, Shi, and Peatric on my computer since almost two years. And now I played a bit to it:
As always, thanks to my friends over at the ‘loops for all the fun – and thanks to you for listening 🙂
