Aside from #retrocomputer collecting, I also have a couple of old #mechanical machines like these.
They really don't build them like this anymore.
;p
First post on #HomeServer! For those that don't know me, I'm an audio engineer/digital musician, new to the world of self hosting, Linux and RasPi (long time Mac/Logic/ProTools/Ableton user).
I don't like what the internet has become so decided to be change I want to see. I'll be posting idiotic questions about self hosting, privacy, coding etc. but also music, economics, tech and cats (of which I have two).
Feel free to connect :)
Getting commercial #radio play just isn’t something that happens for an #IndependentArtist like me, and yet there is one station in coastal #Oregon that has been playing a song from my upcoming album a whole lot.
I stream the station via their app, and I swear: every time I hear my #music in rotation I get giddy like a teenager.
Tonight at the end of the song, the DJ said, “that’s Shannon Curtis kicking off an hour of nonstop music,” and I just about lost it.
This will never stop being fun. 🤩
@baldvillain just really where it seems to want to go. Singer/song writer sends me MP3 sketches of ideas, either with simple chords or acoustic guitar, I sometimes work around that mp3, and we go back and forth over email. Sometimes I'll timestrech up or down tempo. I'm not a musician so it's trial and error. But at some point my brain clicks and I can hear the style I'm looking for.
Then we re record vocals, and I mix from there.
