dogtraxI remember sitting on the floor, as my older brother took trumpet lessons and my dad sat, waiting, drumming out beats on his knees. When the lesson was done, the trumpet teacher and his wife, an elementary music teacher, came up to me, age 7, and asked, what instrument will you play when you are old enough? I didn't even hesitate: the saxophone. And so it was, with the trumpet teacher's wife - Mrs. Pontecorvo -- my first favorite teacher, the one who taught me how to make music. #smallstories
Tellio@dogtrax a music origin story, cool, now intermediated, intercogitated, and interpolated: https://youtu.be/gBWPjP_7K3c #smallstories @katebowles @Algot @Nomadwarmachine @sensor63 @taniasheko
Tania Sheko@taniasheko @tellio If you write one, we'll honor your writing, too. No pressure, tho. Just reciprocal thinking
@taniasheko @tellio I'd be lying if I said I knew all the rules (if there are any), other than to try to use the hashtag #smallstories I've been doing small slices of life.
Kate@dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko Here's the credited version of my thoughts on your thoughts. Interestingly I now can't remember why I gave it this title. But I'm thinking about hearing stories. So here it is. #smallstories https://mastodon.social/media/lcz5ZBjx7MpDATDvAfE
@katebowles @taniasheko @tellio Intriguing title. Is this due to the act of listening? (listening without sounds of the voice of the writer as auditory element?). I like the title and appreciate the craft of your piece.
@dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko I made one for @lauraritchie but I'm cautious about file size of all these videos. I wonder about a #smallstories remix repository. I know several here have been thinking about storycare. Me, I'm just loving this slow craft, like beading. @Tdorey @econproph @ShorterPearson
@katebowles @ShorterPearson @econproph @Tdorey @lauraritchie @taniasheko @dogtrax Perhaps the simplest repository would be a YouTube playlist? Yeah, I know, sucks, but perhaps one of several digital spaces, redundancy and all.
Tanya **moved**@tellio @dogtrax @taniasheko @lauraritchie @econproph @ShorterPearson @katebowles . Starting a YouTube channel for now so as to not lose everything might be a great start.
Working on ideas for a space for these pieces which might involve uploading to YouTube and then embedding in Wordpress. I *think* we'd be able to feed in stories written here as well. Might also serve as a "way in" to Mastodon for interested folks.
@Tdorey @katebowles @ShorterPearson @econproph @lauraritchie @taniasheko @tellio ok. I did not host a few in my YouTube because I worried about who really owns the story. Hmmm. I shared them here as native video files because it felt more intimate, small.
@dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko @lauraritchie @econproph @ShorterPearson @katebowles
Great things to consider.
I don't love the YouTube option, but also don't currently have another suggestion for larger video files.
Laura Ritchie 🌸@Tdorey it may be a very naive suggestion, but can we make a category on Archive.org You can upload any size there....
@katebowles @ShorterPearson @econproph @taniasheko @tellio @dogtrax
@lauraritchie @dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko @econproph @ShorterPearson @katebowles
Great idea and thanks for introducing me to this place I'd never heard of before!
@Tdorey @ShorterPearson @econproph @taniasheko @tellio @dogtrax @lauraritchie me neither. I'm learning so much.
I have always been suggested to put things there - video and the like, and I run an open music class that has much of the content I created there. I was always torn between 'visibility' and actual usability. So if I wanted to post something 'to be seen', as I am relatively unknown, I would put that on youtube. Everything academic that actually mattered to me goes on archive.org - unless I forget... which does happen... @katebowles @dogtrax @tellio @taniasheko @econproph @ShorterPearson @Tdorey
