It is Wednesday #behindTheMusic my verse.
https://makertube.net/w/sr7V4pavJwT6bWEwJbmbKh
For the recent live production, I hustled to get something special in as a finale to the covers set and a sneak preview. It was the end of a long show so I was a spent husk but it is pretty honest. There were a few late nights and over 20 vocal tracks already in there to start getting some of the massive layers of chorus, replies, uh and ohs.
So ahoy, with your help, in addition to an original album, there will indeed be a REPLICATE 2.0 cover album later this year and universe willing, I'm going bigger and if you can fathom, even more eclectic. I have managed to knock the candidate track list down from about 80 to this track and nine wildly varying friends.

#jamuary Day 10:
From the acoustic kit via the broken VHS deck and quick stop through the 3rd level of hell. A kick your neighbours will LOVE.

#jamuary Day 9:
This is a glitch and heavily bent and effected cut of a voice! I used it in the track Retribution which first appeared on an album in 2001 and I'm using it again for a 2026 remake. I like it as a sweep into and out of other rhythms and loops and bridges. It could be some sort of pulse weapon, or amp it up and slap it on a hair trigger IR sensor outside to serenade the neighbours.

#jamuary Day 8:
The bed of noise from which yesterdays blip loops came from. It has a borked rhythm but def no solid tempo per say. Is it a broken farm machine? Is it broken furniture? Is it broken antiquated computer peripherals? Is it broken guitar pedals? Is it many of these things and more? Who knows?! Add more distortion. Add more reverb. Take micro and glitch bits out of context. Or chuck it on loop and scare/enrage the bejeebus out of your family/neighbours...

#jamuary Day 7:
I make a lot of layered noise beds from field and found sounds, weird tape accidents and sometimes synths too. Chuck em thru some pedals and the broken VHS deck for flavour and spice. Then I cut tiny bits out and turn them into rhythms and melodies from absolutely not instruments. Here are some gritty blip loops of that nature.

For #jamuary I'm committed to making a bunch of sonic building blocks each day for myself and everyone. So I thought in the spirit of the month I'd post some bits each day in case you might use something in your jamuary journeys. Just a taste of what is dropping at the end of the month in the my latest sample library volume Broke and Dirt Volume 004. Mangled sounds and loops from the drum kit, synths, field recordings, many run thru the rusty trusty old VHS deck.
Day 1:
A chonky beat with condiments. All the components and various alternates and many more sounds and loops in lossless formats will be on my #faircamp at the end of the month.
For the sad pandas stuck in the modern Masto web interface hiding download, here you go:

ONLINE LIVE SET!
Sun 07 Dec 2000 UTC
I'll be performing as C2 over at https://stream.gravitons.org/
#noise, #rythmicnoise, #powernoise, #industrial, #horror, #dystopian
C2 performs live from the middle of nowhere to the feed proving anywhere can be an horrific industrial dystopia if you open up your little black heart and gloom hard enough!
Happily aligned with the more experimental fare from the Gravitons crew's party, we'll explore some newly re-worked old material, upcoming new material, traverse ye olde catalogue and while starting less dance and more noise and soundscape orientated, we'll definitely bring the rhythmic, cruise toward the powernoise and we'll probably end up on the drum kit for a cathartic industrial stomp. What darkness will the VHS decks and samplers unleash?
No matter how much chat may plead, there will be zero synthpop covers [separate show I hope]. Unless your neighbour would hate that as much as the noise and atmospheres, then challenge accepted! Maybe your neighbour is rad and will bring snacks.

100%, when people complain about this #NZPol government failing to fulfil their election promises, I am always quick to point out that they are in fact fulfilling their promises and obligations to the foreign interest groups such as #AtlasNetwork and #Project25 which funded their election. The gullibility of the average NZ voter is astounding.

Happy 3rd birthday to my best friend Doom Kitty. The void with at least 72 job titles around here. #CatsWithJobs #voidCats #catsOfFedi

Hypothetically if one were to make an advert for an upcoming all out oontztacular concert from the micro blackbox theatre ov dooM directly to your neighbours' tympanic membranes, and theoretically if you recall saying in previous shows' chat or have something darkly fun, festive or hype to say about such events and vibes, would you mind sharing here or hitting me in DM if I might use said hype. Feels better than making shit up.
In case you are utterly unfased by adverts, go you, you can just go directly mark your calendar for 19th March 2100 UTC in the confidence that your neighbours shall rejoice.

If you'd like to get the #remix treatment, it's winter and I'm in the lab and offering donate what you can commissions for remix, sound assets, #soundtrack, sound beds, loops, etc etc.
Dark and dirty is my wheelhouse but very happy and able to flex sound for friendly projects.
Enjoy dark sample pack volumes or you might like to share some oontz or horror soundtracks with the neighbours

I'm seeing "serverless" as a term of art in the cloud services space now.
I'm happy about it, but I'm also feeling a little grumpy-old-man about it (the term, not the concept) because I was into Google App Engine before it was cool.
(GAE is still around, but broadly Google decided that the real money was in chasing Amazon because the companies with big bucks to spend are too control-freak to trust an algorithm someone else came up with to manage their dynamic scaling. This was kinda the beginning of me watching Google decide that "long tail economics" was a myth or, at least, not where the fancy big-denomination dollar bills lived).

The Radio Free Fedi Fest of live music and spoken word performances has been amazing; my thanks again to @radiofreefedi for the mammoth job of herding us all.
The festival wraps up tomorrow with what promises to be a heartstopping set from @controlfreak on actual live percussion. I implore you, if you ever loved RFF, come along to its swan song and join in the community one last time.
Live, 24 hours from now, on https://party.radiofreefedi.net

What a First Third Week!
Three nights of live streamed music events in the Fedi via @owncast went down a storm!
Pulu
Starting with @thisoccasionalsociety‘s 3rd W3dn35day gig, bathed in purple light and surrounded by a multitude of screens and colourful blinking gizmos, pulu (@ahihi) began the set by saying that pretty much everything that could go wrong had gone wrong, and that they were forced to go with a last-minute plan B and hoped for the best. Pulu then proceeded to conjure up some lovely twinkling chords out of the legendary Music Mouse program on an old Mac running System 7, before switching to their live-coding environment. The public was then treated to an astonishing mix of delicate soundscapes, powerful intricate beats and basslines, mesmerizing synthetic and organic textures mixed in with sampled speech and field recordings. That would have been wondrous enough, except that Pulu knows how to marshal all that technology and all those sounds in service of an exceptional musical sensibility, which constantly walks a fine line between harmonic tension and glorious relief, or to put it differently, Pulu totally killed it and blew the socks off everyone in the TIBtv chat.
Control
Control (@[email protected]) absolutely ripped it up in the first NHAM in Concert event on Thursday, with an oontzing, stomping, near-two-hour set. He played the whole of the album MANIPULATE on the 25th anniversary of its release, followed by some bangers from his latest covers album. The chat was rocking and we had over 50 people come through the doors! The love shown was there to see both in the chat and by way of donations – his ko-fi page surpassing the $333 goal. One particularly touching message came in after the show from someone control hadn’t met before. They were merely watching TIBtv when the show kicked in. They loved the show, its “global tiny desk vibes”, donated, shared the album, learnt that CHVRCHES existed from the finale cover, and is now loving them.

MeljoannRounding the week of live streams off, the NHAM Listening Party proved a big success too. We were slightly apprehensive as to how this might be received as it was a mostly audio affair on a visual platform (@TIBtv), but it went down a treat. Again a super-appreciative audience were in and showed their love to @meljoann as they listened to her album Status from start to finish. Meljoann was there herself to feel the love. Here are a few gem quotes from her in the live chat:
“Haven’t listened to this in a while. You know when you listen back and think… how tf did I do that”
-During Rainbow Language (is for Losers)“Kinda making me want to make another album”
“my sis played this song to my little neice and nephew, they were like SHE SAID VAGINA”
– During Translate Me“I was annoying my upstairs neighbour recording this one I think. They started blasting out Led Zeppilin for SOME reason”
– During Data GhostNext Time…
Be sure to join us again on the third week of next month when we’ll have live performances from @gribbles and @alexglow, plus another album listening party.
Details of each will be on our events page.
