Got home late enough from work night out that I didn't even listen to yesterday's taalem advent before just buying it and going to bed. But I'm sitting listening to today's advent entry now - "infidel part 2" by Nullkommajosefh, which hits a good number of my particular sound buttons. Drifty, tinge of noise, stray elements of mystery. #bandcamp#taalem#advent#NameYourPrice#drone#ambient#experimental#noise
#alacritty in the #debian#sid package has been sat at V0.12.2-2 for almost a year now. The latest version is stuck in the #experimental packages. I build alacritty myself using cargo crates and have had no issues with V0.13. I'm guessing it's the switch from YAML to TOML for the config that's the issue. But surely you can create a script to convert this? Poor stable is still at V0.11 :loading: .
in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)
if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:
sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, or ambient
nostalgic futurism that isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general
please drop names and links here. by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to
bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar
I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support
I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks
I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason, please boost
aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends
Pour finir la journée en musique, mon disque préféré de 2019 :
Maja S.K. Ratjke - Sult (Rune Grammofon)
Probablement l'une de mes artistes préférées, j'ai de nombreux albums, notamment tous ceux avec groupe SPUNK. Elle adore expérimenter avec de nombreux instruments comme sa voix par exemple, qu'elle a utilisé pour composer VOICES, entièrement composé de sa voix. Je l'ai vu en concert, pour cette composition sur pas loin de 50 minutes, juste sa voix et son sampler, un truc dément.
Sult est plus "classique" avec sa voix et essentiellement un accordéon. L'album est magique.
I've set some rules, which you can follow, or try to follow, or even don't want to follow and make up your own? Anything is possible.
There is no deadline.
You can make it big, or even bigger, or biggest. Or you might prefer a small, quick drawing.
And if you like, share your thoughts on the process here. And the result(s) of course, would be nice too.
Lovers of horror soundtracks, both real and imagined, may find much to keep themselves awake at night, staring at the moon, inside or outside, in these here glitch-filled sounds and such
Image of the day is Introspection, an in-camera double exposure on film.
Back in the late fall, Louka and I worked on a Photosynthesis session that had a good number of successful "leaf" images. These are probably my favourite leaf images since I started doing them. It's still a fraught process, with frequent failures as I struggle to balance the exposures of the leaf and the model. But I'll be back at it, now that it's the spring and there are leaves to work with again.

If you haven't checked in on Metaphysical Shitposting since its release (or maybe not at all), it's time to have another (or first) listen. The album-in-progress has, as promised, continued to progress! The original pair of tracks has grown to 5! But that price is still just $3 --- for now! 5 lofi tracks of spacy weirdness and weird sound design for your enjoyment.
It's a good way to prep for the next #BandcampFriday, or just meet some of your musical neighbors. Read it here (and be sure to actually listen to some/all of the list!):
I want to take a moment and thank everyone who took the time to listen to my music yesterday and an extra thanks to those that purchased it. That means a lot. It was definitely a high point in terms of people checking out my music, so I consider this Bandcamp Friday a big success.
Also, I want to put out an extra special shout out to @yoniden and @etherdiver for all of their sharing of other people's music and spreading the word. From what I saw, the two of you were putting in a lot of good energy into helping people share their work. It was awesome to see.
My new release is Metaphysical Shitposting. It's an album of looser, weirder and more #experimental --but still relatively easy to listen to-- pieces. I'm releasing new tracks for it as I finish them; I work on new tracks for it when I get frustrated, stuck or bored with working on the more intricately produced tracks for my next release. It's a more casual, but still intense, take on my usual aesthetic. If you haven't checked it out yet... How about now?
Two very different tracks show off disparate sides of @jjmickey 's expansive catalog (almost 80 tracks!). "At the Bottomless" is a sleek, propulsive and hypnotic cut of techy minimalism led by a hypnotic bell pattern. "Chocolate or Never" is a wilder ride, full of weird twists and turns, from its chiptune intro to the tabla rhythms populating its back half.
Si je ne dois garder qu'un disque dans ma collection, c'est celui-là, je suis capable de l'écouter jusqu'à l'étourdissement : #Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Annoucements. Je suis si fan que j'ai plein de copies, un test pressing, un white label, la version paillettée, et même des tests d'impression de la pochette (qu'il faudra que j'encadre un jour). En bref, mon disque ULTIME.
This started out as a dumb joke and then became an avant-garde exploration of the paranoia of a bedroom musician with severe anxiety and then went back to being a dumb joke. Maybe a couple times. Maybe it's just a guy entertaining himself, maybe it's high art, can anyone really tell the difference? Is there a difference?
Do I really want to draw any attention to this? Pre-emptive regret but..
Sinon, le nouveau Brecht Ameel est très sympa aussi. Dommage que ça ne sorte pas en support physique, et là, c'est le drame : je me suis fendu d'acheter ça en version digitale. Mais je suis tristesse quand même, je pourrai pas tripoter la pochette du vinyle 😢
