I’m not much of a musician…and don’t even know what would go into making a remix of a song.

But I wanna learn. I think music might be one of my post-AI hobbies, and I want to start by making something…silly?

I want to make dance remixes of kids songs.

So…he mastodon, do your thing. Someone tell me where to start. The internet is useless now. I have tried and failed before, and now it feels intractable.

I’ve done both real instruments (mostly guitar), though not a lot of it, and a bit of digital creation (entirely using trackers). I’ve got a decent voice and can hold a tune (musical theatre in high school), though that’s not relevant really.

What are some good hashtags I might be able to add? I’ve got #music , obviously, but #musicCreation and #musicMaking don’t seem to have any use (I think they did on bird site a long time ago).

Any help, big or small, is appreciated.

Right-ho, here it comes!

And of course me rambling on about how I came to buy it and what kind of music to play with it and so on...

Introduction to my tenor Gemshorn

"Crocodile girl"

A song I improvised in the spot, for a friend, who lived next to a swamp for a good chunk of her life, but didn't realize until recently.

Lyrics:

Here's a story of a girl that didn't know that she was a crocodile this whole time
Here's a song about this girl that didn't know, that she lived next to a swamp
And I go, to this place
And I tell her "What's going on?"
And I go, to this place
And I tell her, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?"

Who in 2001 would ever think that I'd be here logging in to my VST plugins on my new computer?

Can anyone recommend a sample manager for GNU/Linux?

Soooo, the #newAlbum is mastered, and a release date *this month* is being finalized 👀

#musicMaking

53/2 🧵

So, in the last three months:

- I wrote and recorded 9 songs!!! (1 released, 1 secret, and 7 for this #newAlbum). That’s usually my output for a couple of years!
- And I made and released 3 music videos
- Plus I did some graphics and video tidbits for #NHAM & #TIBtv

And you know what? I’m fucking exhausted! 🫠🥄

I think I need to go back to my #slowLife for a while 😅

52/2 🧵

#musicMaking

Well, song #7 is done. Which probably means the #newAlbum is done!

- I’m still not sure it should include my (still unreleased) fall #bonkwave track which started it all. Maybe a remixed version? 👀
- Since I’ve gone to all this trouble, I’d like the tracks to be properly mastered, and I’ve asked someone I trust to do so.
- So release is probably still weeks away, after the next bonkwave album release.

More waiting, i.e. more time to second guess everything 😅

Recorded vocals for song #7 yesterday. Got a full take that is probably as good as I can hope for on my second try.

I then added a whole bunch of instruments to the accompaniment that is very basic, and then removed them all except for one discrete bar of tuned percussion.

And today I cleaned the vocals and mixed the song, and despite a few mouth clicks that I still need to remove or attenuate, I’m happy with the result \o/
