A composition made using #lmms and #opensource tools / plugins.
The voice came from #librivox: librivox.org
Everything composed on #fedora #linux with guitarix and #audacity and other tools.
Stewart Mills' #librivox recording of #MobyDick is really quite good

30 minutes into a #librivox recording of “Notes From the Underground” and it’s obviously the Dostoevsky I was looking for. The one that is enough. The one I bet he wrote so no one else would have to. I bet this ‘quote’ is actually from the protagonist, not the author. #booksky #dostoevskysky
I'm looking to speak with some #Librivox participants for a terrestrial radio and companion podcast interview. Can anybody out there help me make some connections?
#Librivox could help Googletube ‘free’ up a LOT of server space. Likewise the public library ‘libby’ app.
🍂 As #spookyseason settles & autumn’s shadows grow long, we return to THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW — Irving’s haunting mix of fall’s golden calm & sudden terror. 👻🪦

Waiting for my next audiobook credit to hit like… woman with her head in her hands with books in the background
I used up my monthly allotment for Hoopla. Looks like I’m going to hang out on LibriVox for two weeks…

I'll say this for #Librivox (not the sole positive thing obv, but a plus) - listening to Mary Elizabeth Braddon read by someone with a Brooklyn accent is an EXPERIENCE.
(It’s "Run to Earth" if anyone is curious, but warning that some of her books contain racial slurs. Because, ya know, Victorians.)
My current subject of interest are those free non-fiction audiobooks. Librivox is a long standing collection of audiobooks on public domain where YOU can participate. #librivox @librivox #mind

Narrating from this curious old Freudian primer for #librivox

Interesting to discover how relevant a lot of the content is - but also how much of it has been distorted or diluted by Pop Psychology.

▶ YouTube video version (via Greatest Audiobooks) of #LibriVox recording/audiobook and reading—by Anna Simone—of「Anarchy」(It.: "L'anarchia"; written in 1884 and revised in 1891), a long essay/short book[let] and primer on the subject of #anarchism by Errico Malatesta.
I've realized that I need to voice this, because the people directly involved aren't really publicizing it. #LibriVox - the public domain #audiobook site - has been inundated with scrapers and bots for several days now.
Apologies for the language, but #fuckai if this is what it's doing now […]
Librivox is the only reason why I've been able to get through most classic books.

The Oz books have #librivox so they don’t need me to bridge them to #punlicdomainsky or #skysky 🌈
There is so much good available in the public domain. I just found LibriVox, a volunteer-run audiobook project for public domain books. The quality is okay and depends on the volunteer's skills and equipment, but it's free even without making an account.
I use it on my phone and it works well […]

Good Morning!
I recently contributed my voice to "The Magician" by W. Somerset Maugham.
After this novel was published in 1908, he was accused of plagiarism by magician Aleister Crowley.

#LibriVox audio book of Michael Faraday's lectures on the chemical history of a candle, adapted from his famous Christmas Lectures.
"Taking the everyday burning of a candle as a starting point, Faraday spans the arc from combustion and its products, via the components of water and air (oxygen […]
