I love music, mountain biking, books and old computers.

#mtb #bikeTooter

friends, neighbours, fedizens, could you help me with some reach?

It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of he sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking. Last year I arted hard and I am trying to art even harder this year with your help.

Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.

Could you:

- Chuck me a follow and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?

- Mark your calendar to attend and maybe help hype and promote this weeks free #live online #concert where I am kicking off the new @nham presents series on TIBtv. 19th march 2100 UTC at @tibtvnowplayingbot . It's kind of a big deal in our small pond. The friends and colleagues hosting and the regular attendees are rad and you will love the #community vibes in chat. #joinIn and ride the #fediwave. You might even like the #oontz too!

- Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? Going to play some that I hadn't in last years' shows, plus sneak debut something from 2.0 at the live show this week. #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic

- In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game assets, loops and beats, physical installation space, remix, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.

- Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people.

- #boostswelcome these things OR EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my previous shows, releases, remixes?

All the above things are in bio and pinned posts.

Thanks for your help.

Let's stomp in solidarity.

It looks like spring has arrived in Finland! During the nights the temperature is still below zero though. I took advantage of that and went for a ride in the morning while the trails were still frozen hard. The snow had a tough icy crust on top so in some places it was possible to ride on it even with my non-fat 2.4" tires. We call that kind of snow "kantohanki" (snow that carries you).

#Strava did a big cleanup, removing millions of "bicycle" activities that were in truth ridden using an e-bike or a vehicle. It would be interesting to know what kind of patterns their machine learning model has found that they now use for detection. https://www.reddit.com/r/Strava/s/99ZeIrceWb

Our #boardgames group gathered for an afterwork session. I liked Forest Shuffle which is a beautiful set building game where you raise a forest ecosystem around trees.

I swapped the winter tires onto my bike on Saturday and headed out to see what kind of shape the forest trails were in after last week’s snowfall. I followed a narrow, well trodden snowy path until it split into several smaller trails. That’s where I had to call it quits because the snow just wasn’t packed enough to ride on. I turned around and did the rest of my ride on gravel roads and bike paths that had been cleared by snowplows.

"Be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill" - I went out on a contemplative run to get over the fact that I just watched the last episode of the last season of #StrangerThings. The series had its ups and downs but still it's always hard for me to say goodbye to characters I have grown to know so well.

This year's last ride: I rode to the Meiko nature reserve area and had lunch there at a campfire. The weather was nice and sunny but quite chilly (-9 °C) so I had to wear ski goggles instead of the usual riding glasses. I'm still using the "summer tires" (Maxxis Forekasters) as the ground isn't icy at all and the tires still have good grip in most places.

In the late 90s a synthesis engine was built for a live coding system called SuperCollider.

This engine was so powerful, it was formally separated from its language and set free.

Today, compiled to WebAssembly and running in an AudioWorklet, it survives as a soldier of sound.

If you have a web page... if you need real-time synthesis... maybe you can use SuperSonic.

SuperSonic - SuperCollider's Synthesis Engine in the Browser

SuperCollider's powerful scsynth audio synthesis engine running in the browser as an AudioWorklet. Zero installation.

MTV died. All the cool, unique artists like off “120 minutes” are now fighting the blandest algorithms imaginable.

We wanted a place to watch weird stuff you can’t see on mainstream channels. So….

Fedi MTV goes live in ONE HOUR.
