I've published it! Here it is! First official Sitka track. There were some jams, lives, and sketches before, but nothing I could call a complete track.
I've never seen a consistent hashtag here used by Fedi musical artists when posting original material / promoting themselves. Is there one i'm missing?
The #music tag gets used for everything including someone just posting a favorite song from YouTube or whatever.
Other art disciplines have their tags that indicate "original poster" here.
Feels useful for discovery. Should be unique, indicate original music, clever and memorable, work fedi wide
My submission for "Not What I Call Bonk Wave - Volume 002", entitled "Schrödinger's Bonk" has a slightly less messy recording of the rhythm and chords from the video below pretty much running throughout the track.
In my mind its slight rhythmic imperfections and quirky sound are the reason the song bonks so hard (yet not at all).

As promised, here's the video for track 1 of my #DAWlessJams1 EP, originally recorded for #808day.
It features a cough Behringer TD-3 on squeals, my beloved Grandstand Talking Computer on vocals, Elektron Model:Samples on drum duties and a beautifully unpredictable Yamaha E1010 analogue delay on FX duties.
Track 2 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP is a reinterpretation of Mr Oizo's Flat Beat.
It features a double cough Behringer RD-6 and TD-3 for beats'n'bleeps, Elektron Model:Samples for sampled drums and stab, Korg MS-10 on bass and Sequential Circuits Six-Trak for sound FX.
This is the closest I've done to a (crappy) music video with multicam and enhanced "found" #FlatEric footage.
It's time for the video for track 4 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP.
This one was recorded in Germany with a slightly different and more limited setup- just what I could fit into a suitcase, plus my dad's old multitrack as a mixer and a Yamaha RX11 drum machine he got second hand in '89 or so.
You know the score by now, trailer below, full vid+info at
Here's the long overdue video for track 5 on my #DAWlessJams1 EP, entitled Werk It (it was my first proper Moog Werkstatt track).
It also features a #Teensy as a serial to USB host MIDI converter, so I could use my JP8000's arpeggiator with the Werkstatt (via an Arturia Beatstep as MIDI to CV converter) and a weird DSP Effects unit from China.
As my studio is currently in bits and I'm on a new instance I hope I can get away with a cheeky repost of a jam I did a couple of years ago. Drums and "bass" samples are from a mate's 909 I recorded many years ago.
Also featured are Behringer TD-3 and RD-6, Korg MS-10, Sequential Sixtrak and a DIY delay unit.🔊🎶
I'm almost there! There's just two days left in the month and I'm in striking distance of my goal. I asked you all for just 25 streams from new fans (meaning anyone who doesn't already own the music ) a day, and you delivered twice... Can we do it again and push us ever closer to the goal? I think we can.
UPDATE: Just ten more streams to hit today's goal... and that's one full stream of the album...
