  1. While I'm (slowly) working on a new album, I often come back to my old material, and I always think Delusion's Master, the long title track epic from my first album (2021), is where I "peaked". Yes, Cleopatra was longer and more ambitious, and R U There had a more emotional "climax", but from a composition perspective IMHO they're not even *close*. Not sure if I should be proud of what I consider my "magnum opus", or depressed because I'll never get back to that level 😅

  2. My humble attempt to play "Waiting for 22" by Queensrÿche, from that masterpiece called "Operation Mindcrime". I've always loved that luscious arpeggio and the intertwined guitars... but you don't want to know how many takes I had to record to get it (mostly) right 😁

  3. One of the talks I would have presented at , had I not fallen ill, was on , and particularly my personal workflow in that regard. It sucked not being able to talk about it in person there, so I decided to write about it instead.

    It's a long post, but hopefully interesting enough... I'm particularly interested to hear about how you do it instead (if you do), and if my approach makes sense. Boosts welcome!

  4. I took some time to write about my new DNAfx Git Core editor, how I added HTTP/WebSocket support to it, and how I used that to implement a dumb MIDI controller for the device. Hope you'll enjoy the read!

  5. I just pushed a first version of my open source editor for the GiT devices. It was my first attempt to do USB reverse engineering and use libusb, so although it's currently limited (there's more I want to do), I'm already happy with what it does.

    github.com/lminiero/dnafx-edit

    At the moment, I can connect to the device and download/convert/upload presets, which is what I needed. More tweaking capabilities and more control interfaces will follow in time!

  10. @lminiero Thank you! Of course I was thinking that that opening trumpet trill wasn't legato enough... #perfectionists!

  11. For my new "Cleopatra" EP I wanted to quickly create, in an automated way, a set of video previews I could use for Instagram/Facebook stories (yeah I know, Meta sucks, but that's where all my friends and family are, so please bear with me 😂 ). This is how I used the framework (and a few other tools) to do that in a scripted and re-usable way!

  12. Wow, is it again already? I'd be remiss not to shamelessly use this to remind you all of my latest EP "Axiom"! Not asking you to buy it (there's plenty of artists that deserve your money more, as I'm but an amateur in this for the fun of it), but if you can listen to it, let me know what you think of it, and maybe boost this post for reach, that'd make my day nevertheless!

    Enjoy!

  13. @sknob @lminiero thank you for describing your journey to your new website 👍 It was fun to read 😃
    What a performance boost, your work really paid off!

    I've picked #PicoCSS as a lightweight frontend framework, so i didn't have to start from the ground up and still keep a small footprint. They have light/dark mode support. Maybe useful for the next incarnation of your website?

  14. My talk at #FOSDEM is now online! Thanks to @lminiero and @marquisdegeek for hosting the Music Production dev room at FOSDEM this year! Looking forward to next year, oh yeah!

  22. This was our biggest Allstars project yet, with 7 individuals contributing parts! Such amazing work. Sadly they trusted me with mixing it all together so.. well.. it's about as good as I can do.

    Anyway, a huge vote of thanks to each of:

    @uncanny_static
    @james
    @sknob
    @axwax
    @futzle
    @lminiero

    .. for their fabulous contributions.

    Thanks to everyone else who's helped with encouragement and listening ears as well.

    1. Plaits Space II by AmbientSpace
    All Rights Reserved
    Ambience in the wiggly, wobbly, upbeat sense for take off. Ambient Space is Chris Mills, an electronic music producer from New Zealand, a french horn lover and one of the finest proponents of bonkwave.

    2. Izanami by DebonaireToast
    All Rights Reserved
    Up and down like a Weston donkey, this groove hits the spot, pausing only for dial up nostalgia. Traditionally a fine artist, a photographer, a graphic designer and video editor, Alabama-based Nadia Purge aka Mandi Cook has in more recent years added music production to her wide skill set, making tunes as “DebonaireToast” inspired by dark, electronic, ambient and electro-industrial dance music.

    3. Jumpsuit by Humanoid No More
    All Rights Reserved
    Rave piano. Need I say more? Nope. Never. But also: cut vocal shouts, airy sweeps, darkened tones, bass beats. Mega blend! Creating beats loosely between hip-hop and house, Humanoid No More are a duo based in British Columbia. “Jumpsuit” comes from their recently released Tropical Moon EP.

    I just can’t get hacked enough. Delightfully dancey, wonderfully wistful. Representing Cairo at it’s hottest, she hacked you is a comatose day–dreamer, night-timer and party–crasher also known as ekis.

    5. One Thread by Shannon Curtis vs control
    All Rights Reserved
    One Fedi star remixes another. Damned if I won’t survive. A superb example of the remix work available from control.org, who is always open to donate-what-you-can sound design commissions. For anyone wanting a remix you can find all of the info at control.org where there is also news of a covers album, an original album, and a remix EP all dropping at the back-end of the year. Now that’s control.

    6. Say What You Wanna Say by C.Circo
    All Rights Reserved
    Take my arm and bounce with me. Now kick. More delicious dance from Ottawan electronic music producer C Circo. The track is from his brilliant “Metamorph” album released this year after a period of downtime, having found renewed energy to do so by the Fedi Scene and in particular the bonkwave community.
    @CCirco

    7. Mr. Decimal by Blix Byrd
    All Rights Reserved
    This just grabs and pulls with textures finely layered and vocals strongly piercing. And the break down, oh the break down. Blix Bird represents the most recent adventurous, experimental, intelligent sounds from Alison Wilder, and Mr. Decimal comes from her LP “IX” – an album that demands your attention and asks you to climb with the composer over a barbed-wire fence and in to a world probably not quite like your own, full of stinging and prickly things, where there is a freedom but perhaps little love.

    8. Rejection by Lorenzo Miniero
    All Rights Reserved
    Turns out there’s a beauty to be found in the vast open space carved out by rejection. The movie sample at the end is actually an introduction to the next song (Resentment) on the album. -Each song on “R U There?” has the same, forming a narrative through the mind and its emotions as you listen through the progressive rock journey from start to finish. Lorenzo himself is an open source software developer and accomplished musician from Napoli.
    @lminiero

    9. Continuity by Chris Harris
    All Rights Reserved
    A gorgeously crafted track. Continuity is a homage to Vangelis (electric piano at start), David Gilmour (lap steel in middle) and Mike Oldfield (Squier Strat at close), with even a very quick nod to John Williams hidden in there. It was written at a time of physical pain from kidney stones, which Chris says may have contributed to it sounding more melancholy than he’d expected. That and the cellos (from Spitfire Audio’s “BBC SO” and “Abbey Road ONE” orchestral plugins)! Chris, from my old stomping ground in Bristol, is an extremely prolific musician who utilises all manner of instruments and produces a wide scope of musical output.

    10. Seventeen Carrots by sideSister
    All Rights Reserved
    Look who’s back! Discerning and fun as ever. Combining some of the lesser-spotted instruments and oozing originality. Seventeen Carrots is the opening track to their brand new album, “Space For You”, which is out this month! The third Kiwi act in this mixtape, Sidesister are dynamic mother and daughter duo Leigh and Aelyth, who fret that modern life has little room for the undisciplined in “Seventeen Carrots”. “Space For You” is a ten track LP which takes a look at our world and considers ways they can make it into a world they’d prefer to live in.

    11. Artifiko by Camilo Bravo
    All Rights Reserved
    More expert combination of rhythms, sounds and textures, this time out of Quito in Ecuador. A programmer by day and musician by night, Camilo hosts the musicians.today Mastodon instance as a community for musicians of all levels, instruments, regions, languages, and genres. “Artifiko” comes from his 2023 album “Volatil”, for which he captured himself recording and editing every sound put in to all 16 songs of the album. Quite remarkable. Although I did see some daylight in the videos so I reckon the programming may have taken a bit of a backseat in 2023!

    12. Juliregn by RYA!
    All Rights Reserved
    Wow. What a way to finish a mixtape full of beauty and intelligence. No matter when or where you’re listening you’re sure to leave this session feeling the refreshing warmth of rain in Northern Hemisphere July. Thank you RYA! The 8-piece band from Umeå take inspiration from nature, Swedish folk, jazz and electronic pop. Described as a song for people who continue to hope despite having doubts, “Juliregn” is from their latest album, “Mareld över Kvarken”.

  25. It's becoming pretty much a constant that my absolute favourite song, the one that outclasses the others and is without any doubt the absolute best, musically speaking, never passes the semi finals and is brutally axed instead. Last year it was Georgia's song ("Freedom" by the stunning Mariam Shengelia), this year it was Azerbaijan's ("Just go" by Jiva, an incredible power ballad). I wouldn't say it's surprising, but it *is* depressing, especially when you see who they lose to 😅
