It's BandCamp Friday, the day Bandcamp doesn't take any share on the sales (Yet Paypal does, but anyway)

So, it's a good day to consider buying some music you like on BandCamp.

For example, I released last month a nice short piano solo album :

Les partitions de mes morceaux de Jamuary 2023 sont disponibles sur mon site. C'est gratuit. C'est une bonne expérience de faire ses propres partitions, je recommande :)

Scores of my Jamuary 2023 album are available on my website. It's for free. It's a nice experience to write one's own scores, I recommend :)

After one week, I can but be happy with the release of my little piano album "Jamuary 2023".

- it shows already the biggest plays and sales peak in the whole history of my bandcamp account

- I had the pleasure of a nice article by Richard Williams
https://thebluemoment.com/2023/02/08/a-not-so-dry-january/

- and many appreciative feedback from friends and listeners.

Thank you all. It was a good idea to release it 🖤

I'm still working on scores. Let's go back to work.

J'ai fait environ la moité des partitions de mes morceaux de Jamuary (ceux qui sont sur l'album). Je pense que je les mettrai sur mon site en prix libre.

Je les fais surtout pour moi en premier lieu, pour ne pas oublier. Il y a des trucs que j'ai joué il y a des années dont je ne me souviens plus et c'est pénible de n'avoir aucune trace.

En attendant, voilà ce qui aurait pu être un premier single : la petite valse triste.

I'm humbled to read this morning an appreciative article by Richard Williams about my Jamuary piano album. Now that's motivating. Thank you so much.

"Bourquenez’s pieces head in all sorts of directions, in a sense providing an exploded diagram of the elements that make up his own music."

I kinda forgot about Mastodon in the last few weeks, and in the meantime, it looks like a lot more people have joined. I just reimported my following list from Twitter using https://fedifinder.glitch.me and it just about doubled in size since I last tried a couple of months ago.

My last couple of posts were links to #jamuary2023 videos I made at the start of the year. I kept making videos (not every day) but stopped sharing them here. If you’re interested, the full list is at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlE1CsooamnOnxVLmDTOVCbnijd8MDW8c

Tout est prêt pour sortir mon album de #Jamuary2023, il n'y a plus qu'à appuyer sur le bouton.

C'est l'occasion de contempler quelques doutes, comme : "Qui est cet homme de 47 ans qui, après avoir joué de Londres à Tokyo, sort 6 ans plus tard un machin enregistré sur son piano numérique à Loriol ?" ou encore "Est-ce que ce n'est pas gentiment pathétique ?"

Après je me rappelle mes conversations avec cet individu, et en fait je l'aime bien et je le trouve cohérent.

Enfin bref. À Mardi !

#Jamuary2023 - le Teasing!

I will release my Jamuary bandcamp album this next Tuesday!

I'm happy with the selection and how I managed to somehow mix these digital piano tracks. Not perfect, but releasable.

Here is a #Youtube playlist of this year's #jamuary2023 jams of the Golden Shrimp Guild: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMyTmrjj73gWkO41Cj1_7UnrJf3ippJlU

#Jamuary2023 is over!

...jamuary 2023 is over 😐

I will slowly accept the fact I don’t have to write, arrange, practice, record and publish a tune every day. That I can actually work on a song more than one day. That I can take time to practice some technicalities.

And I will make a selection for bandcamp.

thanks to all the Jamuarists and listeners! That was epic and instructive on many levels.

cheers 🖤

Absolutely felt inspired today in making the final #Jamuary entry. Definitely in my top 5 for the month.

Only change I'd make is pull back some of the high end in the main sequence, kind of too gritty there.

All said and done for #Jamuary2023:
- 65 hours of effort
- 165 minutes of recorded content

Ah, the last jam of #jamuary2023 - farewell, old friend! This started as a sketch i made on the train in Ableton Note (Ableton’s mobile app). I zoomed it over to my laptop and fleshed it out a bit. I tried to make it weird, but probably could have gotten weirder!

I wanted to end this years #jamuary with some feeling. This has been a crazy month for me! Thank you all for watching, for the likes and comments, and I hope all these little pieces each day brought you some fun, feeling, joy, a few laughs and maybe even stoked up your own creativity.

There will definitely be coming more from me soon. So keep your eyes peeled. I have a few surprises planned. But first a short break.

Love you all! Cheers! #Jamuary2023

#jamuary2023day31

Woohoo - made it thru the whole month! Figured I'd finish it with a beat - specifically a tabla sample. Some nice percussion and some vibes to make you groove in your seat.

Thanks for listening to all the daily journeys and explorations - it's been a blast. I'll try to keep up with posting new synth explorations here 1-2 times a week.

Next up: RPM Challenge! Much love y'all! :)

JAMuary 2023 No.31: Spring (The Final Jam)
https://youtu.be/XpNdn0ZHUK8

Last episode of #jamuary2023. Hard to believe I made it through. Played around with sequences on the OP-1 Field today trying to interweave them. Might even be some polyrhythm in there too. Short and sweet.

#jamuary2023 - Day 31

Prompt from jamuary.org : “Write a celebration jam!”

I started to work on some piano arrangement of the Mario Kart Award Ceremony, but I failed to reach anything good. Yes. First time in a month, and it's today! So here is a little award ceremony. Still cute.

That was a very inspiring month. I will take some time to rest, and work on a best of for bandcamp.

Thank you all, jamuarists and listeners!

all good

#jamuary (31) ending credits

If you've ever watched the #anime Evangelion before you'll know what song I covered for the last day of jamuary just by looking at the thumbnail.

You don't even have to listen to it. But do. You know, for science.

Thanks for checking out this and my other videos for #jamuary

Boosts appreciated but not obligatory!
