@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com

I make music and tech stuff for humans. Interested in a wide array of animals, plants, and things. #Songwriting, #synthesizers and #guitars are my primary means of expression.

I'm growing ever more passionate about using #Fediverse and #Indieweb principles in the service of direct connections between people and artists, so I post about that as well.

Pronouns: she/they
Location: New England, US

Dear internet,

My dog Pepper is cute, but she smells like rancid garbage. What should I do?

(Please don't say bathe her.)

Come forth, good people, and worship at the Altar of Tone.

Hmmm interesting Threads find - if you don't put alt text on your images, they attempt to guess at what it is and add it for you - and it federates with the image.

It's not very confident in it's answer, always seem to be "Photo by {yourName} on {date}, may be an image of {noun}."

Always better to add your own. But for people who just aren't going to do it, I guess it's better than nothing.

What's an example of a work of art (literature, music, poetry, theater, painting, whatever) that you've had a spiritual experience with? (Take this how you'd like...at one with the universe, in touch with God, deeply aware of something larger than yourself; however you think of it is fine.)

Boosts appreciated, commentary appreciated but not necessary. :)

@airwhale Totally, I think live performance makes this SO much more likely than hearing a recording.

For decades, I've experienced pain in my teeth after warming up inside after being out in the cold for a while (e.g., 30 minute walk). (The "cold" doesn't even have to be very cold: low 50s F can do it to me.) The pain can be pretty severe, and last for hours. I've mentioned it to numerous dentists, but none have had anything helpful to say. Today, I finally found a paper describing the phenomenon. It's nice to know people know it's a thing, at least. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5736355/

A very special happy birthday 🎂 to one of the best humans I have ever known @jake4480 @jake4480
He is 44 today (on 4/4/24) . I love him so much and I wouldn't be here if he wasn't in my life. He always makes me try new things and believes in me no matter what. He is my best friend .

Fantastic interview where Blixa Bargeld discusses the new album and how they perform these days. Neubauten is always worth checking out imo.

Thinking about other planets that would hypothetically have some kind of life and those creatures gathering together in groups and creating music.

Thinking about what that music would sound like

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com avatar

@jake4480 apparently George Rochberg, a super important 20th century composer and composition mentor to @composergreg, used to muse about what alien music would sound like too.

@buru5 @jake4480 haha, I feel like teenage Gene Belcher from Bob's Burgers made this. 😂

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com avatar

@jake4480 @composergreg haha, yes, totally! I actually have a song that's inspired in part by a short story I wrote about an alien long haul universal trucker who like to stop in the middle of his route and just tune in.

This Friday, I'll be in to play a / show with my good friend Henna Chou, a cellist from Austin. We're at Elastic Arts at 8pm...check the flyer for more info.

If you come out, please be sure to say hi! I love meeting Mastodonians in the wild. <3

And if you or any of your Masto pals are around Chicago and like this sort of thing, a boost would be appreciated!

@w_mrx @synths it has that giallo feel in general. Anxious ambient is a good phrase for it.

Is it digital hoarding to keep 6 seasons of the X-Files on my #plex server because I like to watch a random episode once a month?

alisynthesis,
@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com avatar

After reviewing this thread, I'm realizing that what I should have been asking was should I get more seasons of The X-Files for my Plex server?

So if any of you have an opinion on when the X-Files got bad, assuming you think it did, I would love to hear that

"The reliable availability of “infinite content” has now become so seamlessly, soothingly integrated into our quotidian existence that culture––as delivered digitally, at least––is no longer serving this function as an escape, a window, a horizon of possible alternatives. It is becoming, instead, a kind of electronic wallpaper."
