That’s a cool question and thread on TalkBass. Lots to learn there in case you’re interested.
Libre Arts about CLAP 1.0 and JUCE7
Libre Arts have two articles about recent developments:
Introducing CLAP 1.0, open-source audio/MIDI plugins API and
JUCE7 delivers LV2 and ARA support
So in case you’re interested in the development of open source audio and music stuff, this is worth reading.
‘A truce with the trees’
What a nice article. Rebecca Solnit writes about a 300+ year old instrument, and about a lot of other things as well. Thanks Becca! 🙂
Below the sphere
What a nice chillout song from Andri and from Wade – couldn’t resist to add my ‘grandma’ to it:
This track is embedded with the friendly permission by the creatives on wikiloops.com.
As always, thanks to my friends and to Wikiloops for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening 🙂
So nice – and so complicated
For context, read this. And that’s just “us” bass players discussing the structure… 😉 Also, to quote John Goldsby who quoted Ray Brown: “the audience doesn’t care if it’s a Gmin7b5” 😀
Maiden Voyage (composition)
Herbie Hancock’s favourite own composition – at least when asked in an interview in 2011 – is Maiden Voyage, from 1965. You can also read about it on Wikipedia, read an archived album review from jazz.com, or watch part of that interview here:
And that rhythm and those four suspended chords are well worth studying. It’s one of the greatest jazz albums I know, so listen to just that composition (with Herbie Hancock (p), Freddie Hubbard (tr), George Coleman (ts), Ron Carter (b), and Tony Williams (dr)) here:
Wonderful. Thanks for listening.
A video dedicated to the American Supreme Court
From the Glastonbury 2022 festival in England:
I rarely get political here, but I think that this is/was well deserved… as always, thanks for watching. Video is ©BBC.

Qotd, about practising
“The difference between a master and a beginner is that the master has failed more times than the beginner has tried”
from Chris Fitzgerald‘s “best teacher ever”, found here
And yes, I’m currently practising my upright more often. It’s a fun journey 🙂
Nature Boy a capella
A really nice version of Eden Ahbez’ 1947 hit:
Found via Jeff Meshel’s World.
As always, thanks for viewing.
How to temporarily use another sampling rate in pipewire
I found this cool trick on how to temporarily set your music production to a sampling rate of 44.1kHz instead of the usual 48kHz using pipewire. See Ardour discourse about it.
