  1. 🧵 Yet another way to #drone… feeding a #YamahaPSR 36 via an #octaver by #tcElectronics into a #SomaCosmos.

    This is perhaps the most stupid and most shitty #synthesizer I own and it's fun. In fact, most people would not even dare to call it a synthesizer. Its drums are poor samples, but its “digital synthesizer” actually is a very stripped-down and noisy #DX7 that even allows for some sound tweaking!

    I found this thing by accident when my wife and I were invited to play at an event, and it turned out there wasn't anything like the piano they had promised, but there was such a PSR and a mini guitar amp. I was so intrigued I kept watching the used market for months until I found one for not even the price of the flight case surrounding it.

    I really love high end audio, but I think one also has to get over this and go back to “whatever works” – there's so much fun to be had.

    Follow me on Bandcamp, there's gonna be a release including this later this year. nielsonaut.bandcamp.com

  6. 37 years ago today, May 27, 1989, John Denver & Nitty Gritty Dirt Band debuted at #79 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “And So it Goes”. It went on to peak at #14 and spent a total of 23 weeks on the chart.

    It’s been my hobby to collect 45 RPM singles over the years. I played this song a lot back then at AM 650 KYAK, the station I used to work for from 1987-1991.

  7. Sometimes recording my own attempts at music feels like the positive side of writing a thesis:

    I'm not trying to learn something new here, I'm trying to combine everything I have learned so far into one big new thing.

    Like: Oh, this perhaps could do with some piano in the background, so let me just try this piano here… not playing anything fancy, aiming at playing everything easily. And a drone would be nice, so which synth is the one with the fat bottom? It's the Juno 106, usually. Replacing the noisy chorus by TAL Chorus 60, adding some stereo delay by Harrison, which I configured to be a replica of the Yamaha 01v96i stereo delay I use when playing things live for myself at home. I only use processing that has become a routine some time ago.

    Results are going to end up on #Bandcamp somewhen this year, see nielsonaut.bandcamp.com

    The electric guitar was noodled upon today. I worked out two new song ideas on my laptop and decided that even though I was grossly rusty and have no calluses at all on my finger tips, I put rhythm guitar tracks onto both songs. Four tracks on one song and two on the other.

    My playing was absolute garbage but I enjoyed every second of it. Well… not counting the burning agony in the tips of the fingers on my left hand. That’s a kick in the nards, but other than that… Fun.

  17. 48 years ago today, May 20, 1978, Jacky Ward & Reba McEntire debuted at #80 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Three Sheets in the Wind”. It went on to peak at #20 & spent a total of 12 weeks on the chart.

    It’s been a fun & exciting hobby to collect 45 RPM singles over the years. This is one of the older records that I rescued from being thrown away at AM 650 KYAK, the station I worked for. (1987-1991)

  23. Last year, I recorded some improvisations using the #SomaCosmos “drifting memory station”, actually I had wanted to release them on Bandcamp. Now listening back, evaluating. Trying to get back in the vibe and then decide.

    I notice I don't have any video footage for any of the pieces. But perhaps it doesn't even matter.

    Videos with Soma Cosmos in the title attract some viewers on YouTube… it's all about gear on YT. Also, my video demoing the #Ensoniq #ESQ1 #synthesizer works well. Videos with original music however… nobody wants to see these.

    This video has reached over 3000 views, which for me is a lot, for the professional YouTuber is below entry level, so let's watch it on Makertube again… makertube.net/w/ift9cDiXKnYTGN

  28. 40 years ago today, May 17, 1986, Holly Dunn debuted at #86 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “Two Too Many”. It went on to peak at #39 and spent a total of 12 weeks on the chart.

    This catchy ditty caught my attention and inspired me to buy the album. It was the single right before her first Top 10, “Daddy’s Hands” and what I think most feel is her signature song.

  31. Remember the “Miami Vice” theme. You’re remembering the work of this guy, Jan Hammer. Well, he’s a real jazz composer & arranger who deserves a look. This work came up in the Roon trawl. Give him a go. #jazz #recording #nowlistening.

  32. 43 years ago today, May 14, 1983, Alabama debuted at #54 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart with “The Closer You Get”. It went on to peak at #1 and spent a total of 17 weeks on the chart.

    This phenomenal music band had hit after hit after hit, pretty much right after signing with RCA Records. This was their 10th #1 Country hit in a row.

  37. Soliciting recommendations:

    I would like a portable recording device with very long battery life (4+ hours of recording, ideally 8+). I don't mind if I have to put a very large battery (or a large number of small batteries) into it. My current Zoom H1 is a fine device in most respects but has inferior battery life [1] and I constantly find it running out of juice when I got to make voice memos or make extended field recordings. Certainly I wouldn't trust it to record entire shows straight through, which I'd also like to do. Do you have a portable recording device with superior battery life? What is it? #music #musodon #recording #fieldrecording #audio

    [1] (despite its claimed life - I have had several of them and none of them have lived up to the manufacturer's claims)
