Yeah Apple, that’s a lovely iBend Pro.

Now can you put your most powerful chip in a device that can do actual work?

Went looking for a book on how to fix automatic gearboxes, but could only find manuals.

Okay, I’m off to bed.

Dear Santa,

Define "Good".

#Dgar just blatantly stole your toot.

Oh, hello!

I see the assassins failed again.

I found The White Stripes to be middle of the road.

I won’t compete with my friend in log cutting competitions anymore.

They’re a saw loser.

The conductor told the drums, xylophones, cymbals, bells and gongs to play their section twice.

There will be re-percussions.

I'm getting a lot of interest in the vocals in my TCRE #Fedivision track, so here's an explainer. It's a plugin by Dreamtonics called Synthesizer V, used much like using any other instrument – it doesn't sing automatically; you have to input pitch, timing, and words. Words are split into phonemes via a dictionary, and you can split or extend them across notes, all manually. The clever "AI" bit is that white pitch curve; you would never guess that's what singing pitch looks like! (read alt text)

I've finally managed to get through the whole #Fedivision2024 playlist (72 songs, pant pant...). I was quite impressed with the quality, since I was expecting something more amateur-ish on average (like my crummy contribution).

Eventually, I took some notes and came up with a list of 11 #Fedivision tracks in particular that I liked more than the others, and so candidates for my three votes this week (I won't vote for myself).

So, without further ado... 🧵

OK, so I finished listening to all the #fedivision2024 entries, and I felt compelled to jot something down about more than twenty out of the 72 songs, for a wide variety of reasons.

And please don’t feel bad or left out if I don’t mention you in the following thread. It doesn’t necessarily mean I didn’t like or connect with your entry!
