I can get excited about some tools more than others
A few weeks ago I found a bag with old #cassette tapes and discovered recordings from the early #90s mostly myself endlessly jamming on the #guitar. One riff was not even terrible, so I sampled it and made a track out of it in @ardour , with #geonkick , #surgext and a ton of other #FOSS plugins, all to participate in the @libremusicchallenge
Hope you enjoy it, not sure my past self would have approved...

Recently I have re-discovered a big bag full of old cassette tapes. Some of them were full of endless guitar jam recordings done by myself in the early 90s. A few ideas weren't that terrible, so I recorded one riff in Ardour, then tuned and incorporated the sample into this track. So basically, I was jamming with my young self. Not sure I would have liked the end result back then, but it was fun.
