for your enjoyment: an extremely nerdy post about 32-bit floating point audio 🤓

Hey y’all a reminder that I released a holiday single of O Magnum Mysterium, a synth arrangement of a beautiful choral arrangement setting of an old Christian Gregorian chant.

I think it turned out really cool and you should check it out: https://raccoonfink.bandcamp.com/track/o-magnum-mysterium

I generally post about such things on @RaccoonFink but it’s been a bit since I talked about music directly on my personal account here. If you see me repost @RaccoonFink, that’s me. ;)

Let’s seriously blur the line between public and private here. Boost if you’re curious how clean the world is.

Q: How often do you bathe/shower? On average.

My apps: I love making apps that do creative things with video. I release them all under my Lightbeam apps label (@lightbeamapps)

GoVJ (https://govjapp.com/), a realtime video mixing app that I have had in the store since 2015. I was a VJ mixing video in nightclubs in the early 2000s. Making GoVJ brought me into app development, and is very much a labour of love.

I decided to spend my Saturday making an electronica cover of the Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way" because it was either do that or the dishes, and who wants to do the dishes

Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

People, people, people…so confused. So very confused.

THIS is a slur:

TIL about the unique “Lip Ribbon” microphones that commentators use in #TedLasso, built for loud environments.

Long story short: their inside is a tiny labyrinth designed around the principle that sound dissipates 1) the farther it travels and 2) each time it reflects off something.

Put your lip right on this mic, and your voice is the only sound that can travel far enough through the mic’s labyrinth to get picked up. 🤯 #microphones #design #sound https://www.tumblr.com/thefrogman/720265556471824384/oh-and-there-is-a-nostril-grille-on-top-so-you
