The seventh drone (Hup Jaum Sequmiz) was a noisy affair, consisting of the Kastle Drum creating arbitrary bursts of static and 'beats' into the Infinity Looper 2. I haven't listened to it yet, though I did post it on Funkwhale (after checking for HISSSSSS, of course). Perhaps it'll be tonight's lullaby. #music #drone

Integrating Kris's TWO bass parts into John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks was entertaining. The frequency ranges are going to make me have to redo at least the first organ part. I'll redo both, actually, with a bit more tweaking of the RESONANCE and possibly also use the Quasar. #PodélSměrů #music

Hup Jaum Sisiz - the sixth drone - is finished. I couldn't implement some of Jayrope's suggestions, such as feeding some of my 'units' back upon themselves, as I don't have the proper cables here. The Raster and Polymoon can be tuned to self-oscillation, however, and the drone benefitted from such settings. As I listen, there is a persistent white noise throughout! The looper must have captured Herr Polymoon too often when it was near its self-oscillating state. So it goes. #drone #music

The ambient intro to I'm the One Flying reminds me of the introduction to Lucky Leif and the Longships. #music #RobertCalvert #renata

Oh, to relearn parts! Yup - I'm having to relearn some of the guitar parts to I'm the One Flying. I didn't write anything down, so I have to figure out my own stuff. For the most part, it's not difficult, though, because - well - it's the sort of thing I'd write. Also, on this newest version, Renata changed the lengths of some of the interludes where my 'solo' spots were before. #renata #music

This morning has consisted of a mild headache as well as beginning once again on Renata's I'm the One Flying. I've recorded the first two guitar breaks, a short ambient intro and the atmospheric low parts during the first two verses. I'm semi-satisfied. I'll get to some of the remainder later today. #music #renata

Since I'm going to Odessa today, I 'quickly' (it's 25 minutes long) created drone #5, initially using some of the ideas for the previous one, none of which worked out exactly as I wanted them to! I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm sure it is at least meditative (in part). #music #drone

Drone four done! My original idea, which was bearly implemented at all, was to record various noises into a loop to make a 'beat structure' and drone over that. I had the polymoon set so that every sound was slightly faded in, so my plan came to naught! I still like the results, however, and the sort of looping I did with the Infinity 2 here (a bastardization of the plan) is certainly feasible for future improvisations Another success, I believe, are the transations between keys. #music #drone

I'm adding as little as possible to Wondering if the Bellows Will Blow, as the flow is very pleasureable as-is. There is the low synth part that beckoned from the niggulum to be stated, a slow arpeggiation of Em6 (g c# b e). I'll have to listen through carefully to hear if it coheres. Sparse guitar 'flurries' (I laughingly call them flurries) occur at times, but they (hopefully) do not detract from the flow. #PodélSměrů #music

I'm finally finishing up the #gemini #twtxt search feature.
26 Dec, 2021 14:17
My #twtxt / #gemini paging system creates a first page that is inevitably shorter than the rest of the pages. Why? Well, The twtxt file begins with the oldest twtxt. It's parsed into pages as it's read. Obivously the most recent entries will be on the shortest page. Is this a problem? Not necessarily. Can I easily 'fix' it? I have yet to come up with a manner which doesn't involve initially sucking in the whole file. #elixir

I'm listening to Hup Jaum Tiriz (Drone #3). It's sufficiently different than the first two to make me crack a simper. I did this one in several tracks, the first being the synth and the 'Pa!'. There are two tracks of guitar, but they are relatively sparse. #music #drone

I spent a good part of the day trying to organise the synth parts on Feudal Fetish. In the end, I think the piece is finished. I'll have to listen back in a few days with a clearer mind to make sure. #music #PodélSměrů

I believe 'Sekana pro Davy' is finished. I'll most likely rename it 'My Lumbering Bulk (Sekana pro Davy)' since that title is obviously more 'pretentious'. And the music of Flavigula is all about pretention! Yes! In any case, I redid two of the basslines. The first started with 'real' bass (actually guitar through POG2) and ended in synth bass. The second was only synth bass. I believe they both work well. The piece is filled with contrasting atmospheres, just as it should be. I'm joyous! #PaganPark #music

I finished the second drone in the Hup Jaum Sol Li Kekar Sim Pes Miqisimu Nis Fefol series. It's accordingly titled Hup Jaum Tafiz (the second drone). I'm dissatisfied because my equipment didn't behave as I intended it to behave. Ah well. Each is a learning experience. #drone #music #lakife

Twtxt, Martenblog style, is now available via an atom feed. Very exciting, I know. #twtxt #elixir #atom

I just completed the first drone of many - or of 8, that is. My goal is to drone every day until the end of the current calendar epoch. They'll show up on Funkwhale. #music #drone

Wondering if the Bellows Will Blow now has some chordal additions, ambient Baklengs additions and my 'Radiohead' sawtooth synth additions. They are sparse. Approximately 2/3 of the piece has been surveyed. #music #PodelSmeru

I've (mostly) learned to use the Infinity 2 Looper that arrived yesterday. It will be useful for creating longer loops earlier in my pedal chain to modify with phasers, tremolos, delays, etc. #music #pedals
