If you have even one person in your life who loves you, you are richer than Elon Musk. That dude has a gaping hole inside him no amount of money can fill.
I covered Goodbye Horses (or remixed it, really, since it's still Q Lazzarus's immortal voice on the track). Schism Tracker > Bitwig Studio for mixdown. #FediCovers #MusicProduction https://royalsefton.com/royal-sefton-goodbye-horses.opus
@a_phlaming_phoenix Fair point! I was referring to the finale, but "oh no sir" certainly seems structurally akin to a chorus in song structure. It's an interesting piece. I'm trying to line up with the extended mix on timing.
@a_phlaming_phoenix I think monthly is a fair pace for me to keep :) I'll do my best to drum up interest where I can!
@a_phlaming_phoenix outstanding! I'm not quite done but close. Need to bring out the flourish as much as I can for the chorus. Leaning a bit into synthpop territory in my take. Subtle differences that diverge further from the source as it moves on. Been re-learning minimalism in arrangement and trying not to be too drum-forward in my mix. Will be doing this again! Thank you for such a great idea! I hope this catches on. #FediCovers #MusicProduction

The process is important. The process is what connects you to others. The learning you did collectively in school, the teaching you did for someone else, the work you accomplished with others as a team, the mastering of a trade through apprenticeship. The exchanges of thought, skills, ideas, and the conversations that happen inbetween them that convey emotion and humanity...these all shape our ideologies, how we perceive others, and establish empathy towards those around us.

Those in power who push generative AI know this and the results of their efforts are intentional. All the promises of machines replacing interactivity between us all the way down to outright offering companionship through personalized LLMs... they want to remove the most valuable thing we have as a species that makes us resilient: our interconnectedness.

@rs3 #FediCovers Goodbye Horses is coming along. Did an initial mix on some decent headphones tonight. Tweaked the knobs. Yanked the levers. Really liking it. Tomorrow I will throw it on my phone and listen on a bunch of different speakers and do more knob tweaking, more lever yanking. Must get some sleep, though.

@rs3 But also, a parrot singing backup is exactly the kind if weird I've been into lately.
@a_phlaming_phoenix I am in the middle of moving and can't record without a parrot singing backup, so I've opted to instead make a remix using her original vocal track. I hope this doesn't run afoul of your vision 😅 it will in some fashion still be Goodbye Horses! #FediCovers #MusicProduction
I was doing my library volunteer thing and a woman came in to the desk holding a book. “I left the book out in the rain and ruined it, so I bought this new copy”. You won’t see a story about it anywhere, but people are good
