  1. The French Horn parts are truly exquisite

    As a horn player that is what always comes through to my ears

    I’ve never had the chance to be part of an orchestra so always living vicariously

  2. I took a lot of pictures at Pride this weekend, but I'm only going to share this one, because I think it really captures the spirit of the event -- taking joy in being your own weird self and not allowing anyone else to shame you for it. (This is also why I love Mastodon)

    This woman rolled up on her mobility scooter, parked herself on a corner at the street fair, and started playing The Imperial March from Star Wars on her french horn, with a full (pre-recorded) orchestral backing. Honestly she was pretty good.

[Edited - final mix version] Pre-dawn #FrenchHorn #Tuba (#SWAM #VSTs ) & #Synth #Nocturne with #VCVRack #BlippoBox and environment textures. #Dark and #Cinematic with a touch #Bombastic - probably #NotBonkWave but is certainly #HonkWave - here is something new from me. #ElectronicMusic made with #BitwigStudio in my bedroom studio.

  8. Listening to the Brandenburg Concertos after a long gap and forgot how exquisite the French horn parts are. Concerto 1, movement 3 (Allegro) is something I wish I could play.

  9. Here are some #bookCovers from our current interviewee, #JeffreyAgrell, an expert in #FrenchHorn and #musicEducation.

    In our #wiki-#interview process:
    1) we let the interviewee answer fixed general questions,
    2) then follow-up questions are gathered from anyone willing to ask them (mainly here through the Fediverse),
    3*) if there are more than 8 follow-ups, we will put on polls to select a set to be sent to our interviewee.

    We are now at (2) - you can ask your questions for a few more days. :)

  10. I collaborated with someone and they made something quite lush and futuristic with some of my #music - creating a new and fascinating creation. I offered them a recent #Bitwig based #FrenchHorn and #VCVRack #BlippooBox exploration of mine.

    Check it out! It's a new channel that could use some new subscribers and will be a place that others - maybe fellow #BonkWave enthusiasts will want to collaborate there too?

  11. Made a quick improvised #music composition for #FrenchHorn and #BlippooBox (in #VCVRack ) - some #NotBonkWave - or is it #BonkWave ? Certainly could be #HonkWave all made in #Bitwig - don't play too loud, the horn comes in pretty solidly.

  12. another great photo of an old errant musician. 😯 "Will you please put this in your paper. My papa ran away two years ago and left me and my mamma and I have been waiting patiently every day for my papa to come home to us. My mama is sick all the time and we have a hard time to get along’. My papa is a musician and can play most any kind of a horn."

    From International Musician, March 1914.

  13. 2025 edit: much the same as 2024, but now with #Linux.

    It's been years since the 'Xodus' and I am so very glad to be here. I co-own and operate a small #brewery in #NewZealand where we make great traditional and #GlutenFreeBeer. I occupy an intersection of #art and #science where I create #ArtistsTools to make #ElectronicMusic of the #BonkWave #NotBonkWave varieties with #FrenchHorn and #Benjolins in #Bitwig

    I love #cooking #nature #SciFi #ReadingAloud #puzzles #cats and riding this lovely planet as we hurtle through the cosmos. #introduction

  14. There are so many ways to support indie #electronicmusic this Friday! 😀 👍

  15. My Personal Music Library Favorites #137 – Concerto in Eb major for Horn and Orchestra, K. 495 (Mozart) – Alan Civil - Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields - Sir Neville Marriner – Wind Concerti #music #classical #frenchhorn

  16. In a moment of personal victory I have politely requested that the #Bandcamp #Artists page which has been squatted on for 5+ years to please be released for someone else to use. Like myself. And lo! It is now live and I look forward to publishing more #music there. Some of which may be #BonkWave #ElectronicMusic made with #BitWig #VCVRack and #VST #FrenchHorn

  17. I figured out a song and C, F, Bb, Ab, and D scales (in C) on #frenchhorn today, then mentally transposed about 4 bars of an F method book well enough to play it as written. the Laskey 85 arrived today and it feels good on my Lawson. I might have picked the instrument up years earlier if I'd realized I already trained on the F trombone. from here I think I mostly need to ramp up practice time to build up technique in my chops and air control

  18. @alice here is some #generative #electronicMusic #weirdness brought to you courtesy of #VCVRack and a delightful #BlippooBox patch that someone built. I've run it through a delay network and have introduced some other sounds to it. The part #FrenchHorn is taking more time to bring to fruition as I need to listen to this (with some added bassline and pads) quite a lot to hear the melody that will accompany this bit of potential #BonkWave - Do not set your volume too high - it is loud in parts.

  19. 🎵 NEW(ISH) MUSIC: Scales (2024 Update) 🎵

    A remaster of an old music-class assignment! Fixed a few issues that bugged me in the original. Also serves as something to tide y’all over whilst I continue working on bigger projects.

  20. @WarnerCrocker Getting past step 4 is like rolling a boulder uphill, but it’s worth it. #FrenchHorn

  21. @TheJen For what it’s worth, I think you’ll find that playing the #FrenchHorn now is easier than it would be several years from now.

    In my case, I found that returning to the French horn at age 45 was quite doable. At 60 it was challenging… lip muscles and lung capacity not quite what they used to be, so it’s taken longer to get back to where I was. Still fun though!

  22. Photo from the end of today’s concert J.S. Bach Mass in B minor Monteverdi Choir & Baroque Soloists.

    Trumpets were modern day baroque trumpets (boo!) the French horn was authentic with no valves.

    Soloists were all outstanding, beautiful work overall!

  23. My kids will never fail to surprise me at what they can do, or what they are willing to attempt.

    The twins are in seventh grade, they did the #SchoolPlay last year ("The Puffs", it was excellent! One of my boys was "he who shall not be named"!). This year, they also want to do the school musical. One of them even wants to go above and beyond and to the so-called #ZeroHour class, which is basically a school choir from what I understand (with a tux and everything).

    All this on top of one of them playing #cello, the other playing #FrenchHorn (or just horn), both of them basically straight A's last year with one in the #GiftedEducation program.

    The next youngest kiddo is going to follow along as well - fifth grader, gifted, taking sixth grade (at least...) math.

    We will do everything we can to ensure that our kids succeed!

  24. A commission for a friend who recently started a Twitch channel: twitch.tv/mellophoneman - THE MELLOPHONE MAN COMETH!!!

    He focuses on retro games mostly - currently playing through a job fiesta run on Final Fantasy V and says he'll be blasting through the Pikmin games next! Check 'im out! :D

  25. @brassmusic Happy New Year from all of us at Hathersage Brass Band.....and here's the next instalment of The Wonderful World of Brass Instruments.
    This is the "Corno da Tirarsi en Extremis" quite a large beast that I made up from a #FrenchHorn a #BassTrombone in G, 1.5 metres of 1/2" #CopperPipe and a #Gramophone horn! It's the first #horn in a sextet of strange beasts that will hopefully get an outing before the end of year - watch this space! #BrassBand

  26. This is my #introduction post! I don't have any other social media, and am generally bad at keeping up with them, but I've been seeing a lot about #mastodon and figured I'd give it a go. I love the idea of connecting without algorithms and finding topics that genuinely interest me. To that end, I'll probably be "tooting" about #classicalmusic (I play #frenchhorn ) #fiberarts (I enjoy #handspinning and #handweaving among others) #mydogs and other random thoughts as they come to me.

  27. After getting my Mastadon basics under me, it seems fitting to post my #introduction !

    Hi y’all! I’m Victor, a #queer 🏳️‍🌈 #blerd based in the #pnw. I’m a #bandgeek who plays #frenchhorn with #rainbowcityband, a member community band of the #pridebandsalliance.

    I love a good craft #cocktails and #debauchery. I love a solid #book buying addiction and am trying to carve out more space to actually read them 😂. You will always catch me watching #startrek , #thegoldengirls and any stand up comedy by #wandasykes.

    I work in #healthcare administration at a local trauma center, and am trained in #speechPathology.

    I’m here for new friends and community, with a side of randomness.

  28. Apparently it's prudent to write an introduction Toot so here we go:
    I'm Winterbay in most places where that wasn't taken already (Winterbay_ on the Birdsite) and I'm a #toxicologist and #ChemicalEngineer by training working with #ProductSafety and #RegulatoryAffairs of #MedicalDevices.

    I am a father of two and dedicate what's left of my time to #Cycling, #Orienteering, #guildwars2 and playing #FrenchHorn

    My first account was on .social in 2018, my migration can mean you have two of me now 🙂

  29. By way of #introduction it’s my 63rd birthday tomorrow! For most of my life I didn’t know who I was. In the 60s and 70s when I was at school nobody knew anything about autism. I was just this weird kid who didn’t cope with school, read a lot and hardly had any friends. I started learning the trumpet then the #FrenchHorn and spent a lot of time playing in #orchestras and #bands. #music has been my lifeline all my life. I still play in a bunch of bands and orchestras between Lismore and Brisbane.
