penning out the structure of my current !music_software_ecosystem

a music sequencer, but for producing continuous gestures instead of discrete steps. have it be clocked with an external source so it can play well with others. perhaps build a notation system around it. #halfbakedideas

the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas

How to Add an Audio or Music File to a Web Page with BlueGriffon ⌘ https://www.thesitewizard.com/bluegriffon/insert-audio-music-file.shtml

I’m enjoying listening to music on my re-discovered #MiniDisc players. Pop in the disc, press play and listen to about 150 minutes of your own music in clear digital quality.

Retro-fitting my music collection and music players with early 20s digital stereo MiniDisc technology.

@mox@tilde.town I don’t really get the point of being in bandcamp while removing the tools bandcamp provides. Too bad I won’t add it to my library then :/

thank you sean costello for teaching me how to make planetarium music

even though I have these nice hs7 studio monitors on my desk right now, most of my monitoring has been done using my minirig mini. There is just something so irresistable about writing music for something so cute and tiny.

i really like the music that comes thru on bandcamp daily https://daily.bandcamp.com/2019/07/01/best-new-ambient-on-bandcamp-june-2019/

Bad idea of the day: turn music into text by substituting note frequency with word frequency

Bad idea of the day: A video game adaptation of Lethem’s Gun With Occasional Music in the style of the Monkey Island series, with a mechanic involving mixing custom blends of forgetol/regretol/etc & replacing people’s stashes with them.

“Generating Music From Emotion (and other experiments)” by Hannah Davis - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpiN2DZxU_4

You’d think that somebody writing for NME would know that ‘Daddy’s Car’ isn’t the first AI-written song. (Even if the earliest example they can think of is from Songsmith & they don’t recognize that Bach was doing generative music.)

They used Saint Pepsi as hold music, not Macintosh Plus. No one noticed.
