Well, my previous instance seems to have died while changing hosts, so let's do the intro thing again.

I'm a #composer and #performer of #experimentalmusic (I play #mandolin, #violin, #uke, #synths, and do interactive computer programming in #MaxMSP, #PureData, #SuperCollider, and #SonicPi). College prof in #MusicTech and #composition, where I get to teach #VideoGameMusic among other things. #Runner, #TTRPG fan, and #coffee aficionado, and I speak both #English and a decent amount of #French.

🎵 Well, I've made an album.🎶 It may not be much, but 'tis mine own. It has been a great journey: I wrote my first song, bought and learned a new instrument, collaborated on a song with a friend, made a set of bells. All fun stuff. Now I just hope for someone to play a track or two. 🎸 #FolkMusic #FolkSongs #folkie #guitar #mandolin

I am a semi-retired #webDesigner and #programmer, still keeping my hand in.

I enjoy making #music, mostly #folk, but also electronic versions of some #classicalMusic pieces, and some of my own compositions. I play various instruments mostly #guitar, #mandolin, #melodeon, #stickDulcimer, #keyboard, none especially proficiently but I have fun trying! And I would live to get my hands on a #hurdyGurdy!

Moving the random #music thread over from the birdsite (https://twitter.com/reedmideke/status/1522101706623905793)… Here's the one and only Taimane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Ikslbg274

Is everyone doing an #introduction post now?

I'm terrible at introducing myself, but I did manage to make a fairly reasonable 'About' page for my website, which is fwiw here: https://wayne.conniptions.org/about/

Current obsessions include learning #yiddish and #mandolin, while feeling vaguely guilty about bunking off a bit from #writing and learning #Rust. Also #godotengine, though I swear I will get back to that half-started game as soon as I get headspace.
