Magnificat, for unaccompanied choir, was written for the New York Virtuoso Singers in 2000. It is dedicated to the loving memory of my great-aunt Dorothy McMullin, Sister of Mercy (1904-1999), whose love and joy, kindness and good humor inspired all who knew her.
I was looking at this Sass (SCSS) compiler, written in #PHP, and I noticed something very odd.
Under “requires (dev)," it requires two packages, sass/sass-spec and thoughtbot/bourbon, both of which appear to be empty packages, containing only a composer.json file, which has no dependencies.
What’s the purpose of these packages? They otherwise appear suspicious, to me, but I can’t see that they're doing anything nefarious right now—they just appear pointless.
I'm at an odd place with my personal website. Before Dec. 2023, it was a "professional portfolio" for my compositions. Now that I'm interested in the IndieWeb community, I want to make something more personal. I don't think I want to make two sites, but I do still need a portfolio for my composition work.
I just read @maggie's post on "digital gardens" and I really like that idea. (1/n)
I definitely want to add more pages, and once I add dropdowns within the menus, that'll be easier to organize. My main thing is that I don't know how to strike a balance of "personal" and "portfolio" in the content I put on my site.
Does anyone else have experience/thoughts on this? (2/2)
The sound is pretty involved, so this week I'm talking about just the glitchy looper part. I will make a part 2 soon, to talk about combining the looper with radio noises.
🎹 So I am in a #Cyberpunk kind of mood 😅 here is a preview of my piece of music, it's not finished yet!! I would love to know your thoughts/feedback!! 😊💜
As always, submit your own release or someone else's, it can be by #FediMusicians or not, hosted on #Bandcamp, #Faircamp, #JamCoop, #Mirlo or #SelfHosted, as long as it is by an #IndieArtist (but bonus points for supporting Bandcampers today, as it's the last one for a while).
Simply make a direct comment (with a link & description) to this post and it will appear at https://isitfairtrademusicfri.day automagically!
@axwax I have a recent release! This track is for clarinet, flute, and MIDI keyboard w/ Max/MSP. There are strange woodwind noises and multiphonics, ham radio samples & retro electric piano, among other things, and it sounds glitchy and trippy. It's on a compilation w/ 11 other composers, and that's great to check out as well!
Use the #Composer Diff Plugin to compare composer.lock changes and generate a Markdown report that can be used in a PR description to visualize the changes.
The #Composer dependency analyser allows fast detection of composer dependency issues, e.g. unused dependencies, shadow dependencies, or misplaced dependencies.
Ever wanted to build and publish a #Composer package but don’t know how? Come to my tutorial at 2pm CDT in PHPUgly Hall, and I’ll teach you how! #PHP#PHPTek
