The Kid: Where did they play this music?
Me: The basement.
The Kid: And they lost it?
Me: Sort of.
The Kid: Did they find it in the basement too?
Me: Kind of.

testing out the signal flow #livejam

tasting notes: airy vibe, two chord rhode stabs, ob6 007, occasional matriarch bass, unconvincing synths at a committee meeting, 8 bar loop, consider dialing in the cosmic radio station halfway through, wrong knob.

Tape 8 up on soundcloud

tasting notes: helicopter takeoff, trancy, four on the sub-floor, tape noise, bleep bloop karaoke, new things enter a bit sometimes, no clown car surprises

#BasementTapes Tape 7 now on soundcloud:

Tasting notes: low, slow, blue, rhodes, moments of implied gospel chord transitions, wet frog sounds, scratchpad jam, tried to make drums slow and simple enough that the repeating pattern wasn't noticeable, played live, need an extra hand to mess with more stuff. Wanders off.

Tape 6 of #BasementTapes on soundcloud.

Tasting notes: grungy rhodes, blooby sounding beep boops, downtempo kick snare, meandering rambling improv nonsense, occasional satisfactory wiggling

First time logging back into soundcloud since 2020...I think I stopped posting there because I was about to run out space...might have got annoyed at other stuff, not sure.

Working on curating my own databases of #basementTapes, and once I get that under control will probably share tracks over there too

Streaming some #BasementTapes #synth #chill sometimes #modemsounds #rhodes #beats #reverb #toadsquelch on a Funkwhale channel that's up for the time being.

https://audio.crumplab.com/channels/homophony/

Channel is likely to disappear in the event of me finding different open-source streaming options.

I'm messing around with music/art this morning. Over on my music alt @homophony I've been exploring #funkwhale for sharing music on the #fediverse.

To test things out I uploaded some #BasementTapes of #synth-ified #experimental #chill #music

https://audio.crumplab.com/channels/homophony/

Not sure how long I'm going to keep this up. But, the tracks are calling out for some art. I think I will do something with #generativeart today, as an excuse to play around with #funkwhale look/feel and give the tracks flair

Among other issues, my #funkwhale account was giving a spinning wheel for users that are not logged in. This turned out to be a setting, and I needed to turn off "API requires authentication".

Which I think means anyone should be able to view and play this playlist of #BasementTapes? If any lovely listener out there without a funkwhale account can access and listen, and I'd bee curious to know if it worked!

Posted a bunch of #BasementTapes tracks on this feed yesterday. Experimenting with "tasting notes" commentary for each, and if I can remember the gear, that too.

Attempting #funkwhale this morning. Mainly looking for a lightweight music server (with activitypub) to share playlists of tracks, maybe #funkwhale is it, will find out.

Bounced half a track. My cat coco attacked the USB cord halfway through...It was too long and repetitive anyway. Sharing for my own posterity.

Can hear the noise floor on the tape loud and clear at the beginning. Using a Pyle of crap tape deck, so there's that :) #BasementTapes

This is as fresh from my #BasementTapes as it comes :) No post besides a quick normalization to get the volume OK. I love how recording to tape squishes instead of clips.

It's a one-shot jam from a year ago, all mistakes (happy accidents) pristinely preserved.

Need to work out a better bouncing system though, too much clutter going on down here.
