A Whale's Lantern @awhaleslantern@mastodon.art

TFW you feel superbadass because you organized your #SuperCollider code for the 8-channel composition in a git repo with special branch dedicated to the 8chan installation, while master branch is stereo version. Including a push online to your own gitea instance.

My work place has started a community radio channel, and of course I had to get in with an episode :) you can listen to my episode, which takes you on a musical journey across our little planet, here: https://www.mixcloud.com/ESMTcommunityradio/esmt-community-radio-i-episode-4-curated-by-mascha-bartsch/

If you like it, feel free to push the like button because of course I want to have the most likes to shine like a bright star at work ;)

something I didn't realize I followed (I remember it, but forgot) is @awhaleslantern

randomly paired independent collabs with other indie artists. music found here, https://awhaleslantern.bandcamp.com/

What have you been listening to? I'm tired of my music and could use some new things to check out.

Something like the flamenco scale (http://music.hcoder.org/music-monday/Flamenco%20scale.mp3) sounds intriguing and exotic. But how to compare them in a given song? You're in luck, because some people change songs to experiment with exactly this. For example, see how Nothing Else Matters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAGnKpE4NCI) sounds when switched to the major scale:

@Snorlaxation @backwardsflow
Her albums are all out of print at the moment. I hope she gets a distributor soon and they fix this properly on the reissues.

Of course I'm going to take this as a #marketing #opportunity to #flog the tune @LouInABox and I made for @awhaleslantern:

I'm looking for someone to give a one-on-one cooking lesson (Chinese vegetarian) in Calgary at the end of December/beginning of January. Preferably in a restaurant/professional kitchen but I can also host. If you know anyone or have ideas, please let me know!

I'm ready for the next @awhaleslantern whenever it takes place 🎉

That @marnanel has written a protest song to a well known tune.

It's public domain, and they would love to hear a better recording as theirs is rather rough.

Can you help?

many months ago i wrote a little two bar melody that goes "time to blank blank blank" and now it's like an executive function pavlovs bell i hear it and feel conviction run thru my veins and start whining

I just added an RSS feed to the Music Monday archive:
http://music.hcoder.org/music-monday/

And now that there's a feed, it would be a waste to not have any new entries... so I guess I should have a second season at some point 😅

The second season might be more "relaxed", simply songs I like, and something I like about the song (without trying to teach any concepts or going "deep" into it or whatever). We'll see.

If you're going to use last year's call for scores as a template for this year's, make sure you double check your search and replace.

Apparently there is a workshop on writing for oboe but you need to submit a viola piece, and it is on the 2nd of November but you must be free on the 3rd to attend.

I don't think I'm up for paying £10 for this if they can't even get those details right.

I kindof want to put a "negative reviews" page on my website just so I can whinge in public about the time [redacted, famous composer] called my work "rudimentary, what I would expect of a first-year undergraduate".

I'm not going to, but the temptation is there.

My friend is looking for an internship, or a volunteering program in Europe.

She's an illustrator, who recently graduated and wants to take a gap year.

If you have suggestions and recommendations, especially from personal experience, please do make them. Your help is much appreciated.

Feel free to boost too.
