I don't sing, but, I guess I sing anyway.
Here is a song I wrote about 40 years ago, and like a lot, but have never demoed. Until now.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and happy New Year everyone. 🎄❄️

I had a Palm Centro. Was perfectly suitable as a dual role semi-smart phone and hockey puck. I threw it at the ground more than once just to demonstrate. Each time, when I picked it back up, it loved me more.

Let's vamp some bar band shuffle?

Back around 1998 I hacked an mpeg encoder to compute a frequency weighted peak level for whatever it was fed then used that to set the level of music from my library being transcoded for icecast for me in my house and on the road. I ran this for months. Worked fine. It's not hard.
Yeah ... no ... I don't hear enormous differences in loudness these days while browsing YouTube.
Anyone remember listening to DirecTV in the 90s?
I don't listen to Spotify or any "streaming" music service of any kind, and if they suck, well, that's actually good.
... But apparently, that's just "how it goes" with this weird skill/party trick.
So, to clarify my viewpoint, I haven't lost it generally at all, but the immediate recognition of pitch is off by a somewhat precise amount.

So, I was a child prodigy (not the rain man kind, the general purpose kind that starts writing when he's not yet two) and started piano at 4 and have had perfect pitch as long as I can remember.
AND it has been a semitone sharp since some time in my 50s.
Now I thought this was just disuse....
My previous employer never collected my old Mac (2015 vintage), it's kind of begging me to Linux-ify it
Looking for KNOWER and Gonzales to form a supergroup with John Zorn guest on sax and Mike Patton contributing "vocal effects"

Here is some #ligeti -adjacent #12tone (sort of) #minimalism that realizes an idea I've had for a while.

You ever played around with Hexen? It's remarkably good and remarkably cheap. In addition to Android, it runs on Bluestacks on my PC.

It's so ugly ... I do recommend it highly to people who aren't bothered by that though. Any beginner who's a little nerdy, I would definitely point to Reaper to start.
Their instructional videos are terrific.

Ever tried to write 12-tone and found just the very basic task of playing 12 different semitones in a row almost impossible without some kind of aid ...?
I've had this simple idea rattling around in my head ....
