Started devoting time to #TwineCollab again! Here's the etherpad for anyone who wants to add anything: https://board.net/p/twinecollab ( #twine #tutorials you've found useful, especially) Adding content to the page, setting up a sign up sheet, etc, right now in time for sign-ups to start beginning March 1st!

(Heavily inspired by #MusicCollab, of course, which you should check out, as sign-ups are now open!)

Today I finished my very first full-synth track! (and 3rd original track ever)

It was made entirely with #OpenSource #Software: #Ardour #Helm #Calf #EQ10Q

I’m still a beginner at music making so it’s not very good, but I had a lot of fun making it, and will definitely do it again!

Do you make any kind of music and would like to collaborate with someone?

We are soon starting the fourth round of the #MusicCollab, in which music makers are paired up at random to come up with a song relating to a given theme - the theme for this round is "portraits".

While I wait for @awhaleslantern to assign me a partner, I'm warming up by trying to make a strange version of Ode to Joy, as part of a challenge proposed by Jaime Altozano (YouTube video in Spanish):

In my case, because I love making versions that are almost unrecognisable, and because I'm trying to be a bit original, I'm going to use the main melody... as a *bass line*, and then make up a main melody to go with it.

With me luck 😅

It's 2019 and HiFi reviewers are still testing amplifiers with copies of Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms. Lord help us.

The Dearly Beloved rendition from #KH3 is probably the most intense version of the whole #KingdomHearts series. First time the #music ever starts in a different major key, delaying gratification from hearing the familiar motif. Then it gets all ham with the layers of instruments + emotional #piano.

The magic of Yoko Shimomura, managing to create emotional compositions with different natures, while keeping to the same themes 🎵 ✨

How quickly the song comes together. Days ago, she suggested the song, with words: "I love this one." That's enough to try. Within minutes, a solid version is chugging along. A few run-throughs, and you can hear the heart of it. There are still gaps -- places where you're not sure what will happen. But in these moments of a band, where pieces click on contact, you feed on the energy of being together, of finding a muse, of making music. #smallstories

@TamiJo if you're trying to get back into music, you might want to know about @awhaleslantern !

Gentle reminder that being "self-sufficient" and a "self-starter," and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, and even just living on your own and expected to be able to do everything for yourself, is actually a highly unnatural state of affairs for human beings which only became the norm in a small number of countries less than a century ago.
