‘Nintendo Has Too Many Apps’
The Verge’s Ash Parrish writes: Nintendo has released a new store app on Android and iOS giving users the ability to purchase hardware, accessories, and games for the Switch and Switch 2. When I open my phone and scroll down to the N’s, I get a neat, full row dedicated entirely to Nintendo. That’s four apps: the Switch app, the music app, the Nintendo Today news app, and now the store. (The tally increases to five if … ⌘ Read more

Made this a few weeks ago, just listened to it again and I quite like it:

This is just one instrument: Electric bass guitar + EBow. And echo/delay on top. But it’s a single track, single take. It amazes me quite a bit how much you can do with that little thing. 🤯

Weekend! Whooo 🤣 Having a few too many glassses of 🍷 listening to music on Youtube and playing Chess which I haven’t been playing much lately 😢

This genre is great for background music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n–SX54AUZU

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:

The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.

This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.

If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah and I don’t get why … There’s no copyrighted music in it, no ads (at least I don’t see any) … Just weird. 🥴

Seven Bit Encoding by Dylan Beattie #music

What? was? that? Music videos in the 90s was just something else. Especially like the guy in the straitjacket on a pogostick

I wish the National Park music from Pokemon Gold and Silver had gotten its own full-length arrangement. It’s one of the best tunes in the game.

I am playing some ambient music that begins with a sound that’s a bit like the drone of an airplane engine, and I spent a good minute or two adjusting the volume wondering why the music wasn’t playing because I thought it was a plane🤦‍♂

Dug out my old usb audio device and now my Plan 9 raspberry pi can play music. 💯

New subscription plan for Apple Music: Voice Plan. Available for many countries. Using Siri to access songs. Meh.

Talking about Apple Music and Siri.

Today is about music, and Mac. Now we know.

Everything starts in a garage… the history of Macs, pretty much, with music.
