YonderBonkwave comp track... submitted!🖖
Well I am really enjoying working on my bonkwave tune. I have earwormed myself with it for like three days straight and i don't even mind (yet)!
Whether anyone else will like it is anyone's guess but such are the vagaries of the bonk.
Right I decided to do the bonkwave sample challenge & think I might have something.
So reckon I can submit to the next bonkwave comp after missing a couple.
Which is nice 🖖
So here it is, merry bonksmas everyone
PS it's also on bandcamp, but... I don't know if anyone's tempted, but DON'T buy it! I forbid you. Seriously, I don't know if I can even receive any cash from there now, and I'm not gonna be getting stripe, so)
Default Media TransmitterI posted some news about my new album on my website. I even included a new track in the post. It is probably #bonkwave, #clonkwave, or #honkwave (or not). https://defaultmediatransmitter.com/new-album-and-website-news/
New album (and website news)
The new album "The machines are having fun" is coming very soon. As usual it will be available at Mirlo, Bandwagon, Faircamp, Jam, and Bandcamp. The release date is to be decided, but it will be before the next Bandcamp friday (in December). Here's a little taste of what's coming:
keefI dunno about that, but #ClonkWave is definitely the new #HonkWave...

Any #musicians or #music fans who recently joined Mastodon or the wider #fediverse - this diagram should tell you all you need to know about the local music scene round here:
Chris MillsThis is where I make #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave and also #HonkWave - on the display is #BitwigStudio and #VCVRack is open and showing a most excellent #Benjolin patch. This is being controlled and performed via a BCF2000 MIDI Fader Control. Sharp eyed observers may also notice that there is a French Horn track in Bitwig.
I like to perform a texture bed of sound with the Benjolin and then improvise horn lines over the top. Sometimes percussion finds its way for a time and then is removed. Or not.
Down below and in front of my keyboard is a home-made alternative ergonomic device which I call the "Wristiplinarian" - an alternating row of 25 1-inch chrome spikes affixed to a strip of black leather that I made around 27 years ago and have had at my keyboard ever since. It works a treat for keeping your wrists up and fingers depending gracefully over the keys (my #carpal #RSI has been pretty much gone the entire time it has been there).
@keefmarshall @55aw this is how I find myself feeling when I review my #HonkWave thesis. Is it really a proper taxonomy of the Bonkological structure, or is it fundamentally all likely to be #BonkWave or #NotBonkWave ?
