Akai LPD8 mk2 looks like this inside. The device itself doesn’t offer any way to tweak the sensitivity. #akai #lpd8 #makingmusic #controller

Tried today to improve the sensitivity of the Akai LPD8 pads. Somewhat better now, although in general not satisfying. #akai #lpd8 #music #makingmusic #fingerdrumming

Still exploring AI in music production and the list just keeps getting bigger. There is already a lot out there and this is just the beginning.

I am escaping from my children complaining that I never play games with them 5 minutes after I just stopped playing a game with them, and using the time to re-post this blog- a compositing game you can try at home with the kids. It won’t keep them quiet exactly, but it may keep them occupied for a bit! #WritingMusic #MakeYourOwnMusic #MakingMusic #GetKidsIntoMusic

As you wait for this week's newsletter (you're signed up right? http://mumubl.com/subscribe) why not look back at the last installment - Are we more than what we (musically) eat?

In the wake of the recent Ed Sheeran "Let's get it on" court case we ask what is creativity in the age of AI? Are people truly creative?

Participating in music challenges, competitions, and beat battles has been a fun experience and a way to push myself to try new things and become part of a community.

Here's a playlist of all the music I've made along the way.

Rearranged my wee home studio this evening (so many wires! 😳) on account of the arrival of a strange, new, and somewhat wild synth beast in the family. The best bit comes next…more learning to do! 😊 #synths #MakingMusic #LifelongLearning

A new instrument arrived in my studio today. So I’ve just spent a fun hour or so getting some music out of it. It’s gorgeous! It’s going to fit in well with the other synths. 😃 #MakingMusic

Disquiet Junto Project 0586: Chance the Eraser

The Assignment: Use probability to remove material from a track.

Step 1: Record a piece of multitrack music with at least three separate tracks. If you already have a multitrack recording of your own in mind for this project, feel free to use it.

Step 2: Go back and erase various parts of the recording from Step 1 by utilizing chance techniques. (For example, you might role dice: once to determine which of the multitrack parts, once to determine the starting point in the track of the erasure, and once to determine the length of the erasure.)

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, March 27, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, March 23, 2023.

random revelation (that should have been obvious) - much as I love highly structure music (dance, etc) it's not what I like making at all and I should stop trying :-) or for that matter buying anything called a 'groove box' because fun as they are non of the ones I have ever get used to make anything.

the one exception interestingly is the Syntakt - which I *can* get what I want out of

Hey #Musodon #Musicians #MusiciansOfMastodon

#DIYMusicChat is in 3 hours!! (Noon, Sundays, CST)

Topic: picking up a #NewInstrument or #NewTechniques of #MakingMusic #MusicProduction or #PlayingMusic - staying motivated, self-directed learning, online resources, etc.

Anyone a #ExperimentalMusician #selftaughtmusician #MultiInstrumentalist with advice or opinions?

Who's in?

🎧 #GrooveArmada's "Superstylin" clip opens with Tom and Andy talking (seriously) about making music, beats that go out into the Universe(s). That came immediately to mind when I saw this film (by #Numero6) for #TheSupermenLovers' "Starlight" last night. It was made in 2001, but I'd never seen it.

Saw this at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix yesterday. It’s a harp guitar, handmade by Bill Eaton. What a gorgeous instrument! #mimphx #harpguitar #makingmusic

Cool, drummachine of Thriller was mix between Linndrum, lm-1 and 808

Must say I still love the lively lm-1 hihats. Still use them myself. #music #makingmusic

Our daughter got a ukulele for her 7th birthday, and she absolutely loves it! She practices and plays with enthusiasm and passion. I teached her the names of strings and checked out some video to learn some chords.

I love to practice a bit myself so we can sing some songs at the campfire soon!

So, new instance and new #introduction time! If we share stuff, say "hello". Even if we don't, but you think we might have interesting chats, say "hi!". I've never been awesome at just listing interests. I'm into so many things, and I recognise that people are so complex anyway, that a list seems odd and restrictive. But with intent of connecting, here goes - Former #englishliterature nerd with interests in #science, #astronomy, #history, #psychology, #philosophy, #politics and on and on. Currently, I'm #writing and #drawing (mostly scribbling honestly) monsters for tiny #fantasy #horror adventures I make for #osr and #ttrpgs like #dungeonsanddragons. I love #boardgames and game mechanics generally. Sometimes I write #poetry and #fiction and even #makingmusic like #ambientmusic. Sometimes I #paint #abstractart. Often, I practice #photography. Studying #counselling has also led to an interest in #meditation, #compassion and #mindfulness. Oh, and recently have been getting into #Obsidian and #markdown. I'll probably Toot about lots of stuff, but that's reflective of my interest in so many areas. #joinin #introductions
