I spent a good part of the day trying to organise the synth parts on Feudal Fetish. In the end, I think the piece is finished. I'll have to listen back in a few days with a clearer mind to make sure. #music #PodélSměrů

I believe 'Sekana pro Davy' is finished. I'll most likely rename it 'My Lumbering Bulk (Sekana pro Davy)' since that title is obviously more 'pretentious'. And the music of Flavigula is all about pretention! Yes! In any case, I redid two of the basslines. The first started with 'real' bass (actually guitar through POG2) and ended in synth bass. The second was only synth bass. I believe they both work well. The piece is filled with contrasting atmospheres, just as it should be. I'm joyous! #PaganPark #music

I finished the second drone in the Hup Jaum Sol Li Kekar Sim Pes Miqisimu Nis Fefol series. It's accordingly titled Hup Jaum Tafiz (the second drone). I'm dissatisfied because my equipment didn't behave as I intended it to behave. Ah well. Each is a learning experience. #drone #music #lakife

Twtxt, Martenblog style, is now available via an atom feed. Very exciting, I know. #twtxt #elixir #atom

I just completed the first drone of many - or of 8, that is. My goal is to drone every day until the end of the current calendar epoch. They'll show up on Funkwhale. #music #drone

Wondering if the Bellows Will Blow now has some chordal additions, ambient Baklengs additions and my 'Radiohead' sawtooth synth additions. They are sparse. Approximately 2/3 of the piece has been surveyed. #music #PodelSmeru

I've (mostly) learned to use the Infinity 2 Looper that arrived yesterday. It will be useful for creating longer loops earlier in my pedal chain to modify with phasers, tremolos, delays, etc. #music #pedals

I actually wrote the beginnings of a blog entry this morning! My intention is to complete it tomorrow morning. #martenblog #writing

I rearranged Chris's voice a bit on Feudal Fetish. He sent me his first draft on the vocals of John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks. It's fascinatingly bizarre. Also, I rewrote the melody of Vlci to match the lyrics that Renata wrote. I wobble in anticipation of the results. #music #PodelSmeru

Ha! I cannot connect my ukulele to the Soundblaster E5. Well, I cannot connect it in a way that will route sound from said ukulele through the device into the laptop and therefore ardour! Woe! It is a SIGN that the additional part I wrote for Sekana pro Davy should NOT be there. #music

Remixing Sekana pro Davy this morning, I realised there are two bass parts (at least) that must be redone. #music #PaganPark

I'm in Ruidoso with my parents. Overall, a non-productive day for #music, #coding and #writing. I'm going to bed early. Blah.

I'm heading to Ruidoso today. I'll have my Skulpt Synth and Ukulele with me, but mostly I plan on mixing tracks from Pagan Park during our three day stay. #music #ruidoso

The fault was my own, not Gemini's. The solution was substituting 'IO.binread' for 'IO.read' in my code. #elixir #gemini #utf8

Alas! The Gemini depiction of characters with diacritics is BROKEN. Why? I shall explore. #gemini

Although I've encountered a lethargy that has blocked progress today, I have fiddled more with 'Feudal Fetish', including adding a fractured ramble by Christián about his erstwhile obsession with feudalism. #music #feudalism

The end of 'Feudal Fetish' includes Raster detuning action. I just used a Loyalism. My low saw-wave keys follow it a bit, but i may have to redo the C# hit and bend it up a tad with the joystick. #music

I #improvised over my 'homework' chords (Dm / Ebm). It's sprawling full of ambient interludes. Quite a fascinating twenty minutes of the day, I say! It's name is Dodecahedral Snowdrift. Find it on Funkwhale! #music

Now complete is the first draft version of Vlci to send to Kris. Bitchin' cookies. #music
