I actually wrote the beginnings of a blog entry this morning! My intention is to complete it tomorrow morning. #martenblog #writing

I rearranged Chris's voice a bit on Feudal Fetish. He sent me his first draft on the vocals of John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks. It's fascinatingly bizarre. Also, I rewrote the melody of Vlci to match the lyrics that Renata wrote. I wobble in anticipation of the results. #music #PodelSmeru

Ha! I cannot connect my ukulele to the Soundblaster E5. Well, I cannot connect it in a way that will route sound from said ukulele through the device into the laptop and therefore ardour! Woe! It is a SIGN that the additional part I wrote for Sekana pro Davy should NOT be there. #music

Remixing Sekana pro Davy this morning, I realised there are two bass parts (at least) that must be redone. #music #PaganPark

I'm in Ruidoso with my parents. Overall, a non-productive day for #music, #coding and #writing. I'm going to bed early. Blah.

I'm heading to Ruidoso today. I'll have my Skulpt Synth and Ukulele with me, but mostly I plan on mixing tracks from Pagan Park during our three day stay. #music #ruidoso

The fault was my own, not Gemini's. The solution was substituting 'IO.binread' for 'IO.read' in my code. #elixir #gemini #utf8

Alas! The Gemini depiction of characters with diacritics is BROKEN. Why? I shall explore. #gemini

Although I've encountered a lethargy that has blocked progress today, I have fiddled more with 'Feudal Fetish', including adding a fractured ramble by Christián about his erstwhile obsession with feudalism. #music #feudalism

The end of 'Feudal Fetish' includes Raster detuning action. I just used a Loyalism. My low saw-wave keys follow it a bit, but i may have to redo the C# hit and bend it up a tad with the joystick. #music

I #improvised over my 'homework' chords (Dm / Ebm). It's sprawling full of ambient interludes. Quite a fascinating twenty minutes of the day, I say! It's name is Dodecahedral Snowdrift. Find it on Funkwhale! #music

Now complete is the first draft version of Vlci to send to Kris. Bitchin' cookies. #music

I've recorded the raw chords and melody for Vlci to give to Renata. She'll write the lyrics in Czech. Now I need to actually learn to play the arpeggio part which will go into the piece itself. #music

I finished 'Project Hail Mary' last night. Apparently it will be made into a film, or is currently being made into a film. I'm looking forward to how they depict Rocky. #film #books

I sit in a peluquería chair awaiting my parents as they are shaven and sterilized. I shall work on the search feature of my twtxt feed.

I added an organ part to the initial portion of Vlci. It was a quick affair. Feudal Fetish recieved a bit of 'bass'. The objective is to finish and release a four track semi-ambient album cobbled from music mostly already complete from dabblings and semi-serious ideas during the last 13 months or so. #music

And I sent the aforementioned version of John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks to Kris. Perhaps he'll come up with a few drones to complement my parts. #music

A wave of fatigue hit me about an hour ago. I managed to do a lugubrious 'organ' improvisation. It's possibly my mood, but I found it mostly bland, though I haven't listened back to it in its entirety. Perhaps I shall as I drift towards the wastelands of sleep. #music

The second draft (or perhaps third for reasons I shan't divulge) of John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks is done. I am pleased except for the 'organ' part, which needs to be redone with a slightly different timbre. #music
