I'm not entirely sure about this meme in terms of the overt sexism. Looked it up a little and there's some talk about it, but hopefully it's not past the line of problematic. I have a hard time telling.

That bass line though

Not exactly programmatic, but I saw another streamer hook up their chat to super collider so folks could do a collaborative jam session. It was chaos, but a lot of fun.

(and for anyone not familiar with supercollider: https://supercollider.github.io/ - it's open source software that's "A platform for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition, used by musicians, artists and researchers working with sound.")

Might have been me how mentioned working on their own filetype, because, well, I am. It's not a music thing. It's a replacement for markdown/mdx. It's still a work in progress, but I'm using it. I also don't really expect other folks to use it, but I'm putting it out there anyway.

I'm cleaning up the docs. I'll post them when I get them polished a little

Music Stem Mixer (splitter.fm)

I love this little thing. It lets you mute out or solo the individual stem tracks that make up a song to make a simplified mix.

The link is for a specific song. (The site nav takes too long to get to the individual songs.) The home page is here for more info: https://splitter.fm/lawrencetheband/the-heartburn-song

I built another version of it that lets you fade tracks and record your fades. It's offline while I'm migrating my site. I'll post it here when I get it back online

I had a sneaking suspicion how the upvotes would spread across these two songs. It's not going to stop me from posting whatever the fuck, but it's funny.

I keeeeep wanting to get into making music, but it never makes it up the priority list high enough. I used to be a sax player, but I never did music theory or chords. I know it wouldn't be super hard to get into that based off my experience, but I don't have the energy to put into the learning curve right now.

The idea of the public data set is awesome. I'd also love to see bands. release stubs of their music for remixing (I'll like to something like that when I find it)

There's a bari sax in there too which is bonus points

this is one of those songs that I'm either really in the mood for or really not. There is no in-between

I originally worked on the website at the TOUR. I was the tech lead who coordinated work with our external teams. I also did a bunch of prototype stuff which is what I really enjoyed. Last few years there I was on the team who built a data analytics dept. That was fun during the build, but once it was up and running I wasn't doing new stuff anymore and it turns out I need that in my life.

I feel ya on the 2hrs sleep then 18 of making stuff as well as the crash afterwords. I didn't get diagnosed until a few years back. I'd never had a full out manic episode until then. I went pretty far out though. Ran around my house naked for a week recording a podcast about how it was on me to become president and the modern day Shakespeare to save the world. Ended up in the psych ward for a few days, got the diagnosis and got on meds. I had a two year major depression after that and then a while recovering. Happy to report I've been stable since then.

And, I'm digging you too ๐Ÿ•บ . Always love meeting folks who do things like start communities. That's very cool

I've never looked at the torrent protocol. (That's going a bit deeper than I've ever done before.) If it doesn't support compression that could be done on the client side right? Or is there something else that goes on there?

And when you get damned in the popular opinion, It's just another damn of the damns you're not giving

The Name(s) Of My New Band (www.alanwsmith.com)

The most important thing about a band isn't its music, but its name, right? right? ๐Ÿ˜†

I haven't gotten over the part of my history that pressures me to apologize for putting out my work in spaces I don't own. I'm doing a lot of it here. It feels like I'm taking up a lot of space because, you know, I am. I think it's helpful right now. Adding content grist to the mill that produces community because I like the vibe here and want to see this place grow.

I'm pretty sure if it gets old, y'all will tell me to shut the fuck up. Just want to say there will be no hard feeling.

Anyway, here's a self-portrait I took in college during the days of film ๐Ÿ˜

I'm making my own Markdown/MDX replacement. Just added an "about" attribute to my blockquotes today. Pretty happy with the way things are shaping up.
