I used a Norwegian open-source tool to analyze my old Spotify data as a customer.

I don't use Spotify anymore, but I can announce that of all the money I ever paid them, approx. 5% went to the artists I listened to.

That is a pretty insane transfer of wealth from the bottom / middle to the top if you ask me.

I already knew Spotify is a big scam for those not at the top, but seeing the numbers still gives me a bodily reaction. 😢

listening party on Tuesday night.
It is Sankt Hans aften in Denmark / nit de Sant Joan in Catalonia

det bliver hyggeligt / serà molt bonic! ✨

@xavierbonfill made (vessels)1 on his custom electronic instrument vssl, a "perceptual sampler and granular synthesizer". As a good vessel, it is nothing without any external input: the album is based on archival recordings with performances by Ragnar Jónsson on Halldorophone (a feedback-based electric cello of sorts)⚡ and Flemming Valmundsson on (a very cheap and pretty smashed) button accordion 🪗

Amongst other things, it will be my first "major" project to be #Bandcamp + #CD only, no #Spotify or other DSPs ✊

Also technically my first released produced on #linux using (mostly) #opensource software

And most importantly the first release featuring vssl, the perceptual #sampler and #granular #synthesizer I have been developing for the last 3 years 🎛️

I ported OTODESK's Ambience algorithmic reverb to Linux.

I also added locking for wet/dry settings, made the UI scalable, and embedded the factory presets in the build.

It's a wonderful sounding algorithmic reverb. You can download a VST3 build here:

My fork:

Will have a release build ready once I've tested this build to satisfaction.
