@gribbles@mastodonmusic.social

gribbles is Graham Thorpe. I'm a music loving Lincolnshire lad - prone to waffling, but I write the odd decent tune, so I'm told.

Currently recording a range of electronic music. Broadly chilled stuff, but it's a fairly eclectic mix.

Generally self-releasing though BandCamp, but have music used in games and released on Hippie Drive, Electronic Alliance Recordings and Werra Foxma.

A release from earlier in the year that seemed to fly under the radar a bit.

Giving it a little signal boost - I think it's rather nice. 😉

New video for Childer has popped out.

Taken from my latest ep, "Hello". Full of goodness.

I thought I’d pop this on.

I have done no work for the last 25 minutes.

Set adrift on memory bliss.

Driving back from seeing Peter Duggal & Wolfgang Flur last night, my mind was wandering a bit, thinking about music, video projections and stuff.

Having seen the gig with Dan, I remembered this, which we were really proud of at the time. Sven years ago.

We really need to get back on the Quiddity horse…we did chat about something, but need to make it happen…

New post & old music on @mirlo

BOSH! is now available on the blackbird...

"The mad sonic scientist in Gribbles has also successfully managed to make a wildly diverse range of music sound like it all belongs together"

Five years on, still goin' strong...

A propos of nothing save me working on some stuff & having occasion to look at this, here's the first music video I uploaded to YouTube after I started writing stuff again...

Sometimes these older tunes get lost. It's nice to find them again & help them back to their favourite comfy chair.

I have nothing new for today (things are in the works, though)

But, for one day only I've whacked the maximum discount I can the purchase of my full discography - that's £4.40 for 15 releases - nearly 100 tracks!

Today is the day to fill your gribblygaps! 😘

At #FediForum, @n00q discussed a Federated music service for #BandCamp refugees. After a few days of drawing up requirements and specs, and a couple days of code, something interesting is taking shape.

Here's a too-fast-tour of a hypothetical album page built with #Emissary. Custom skins, uploads, and transcoding music is still TBD, but so far this feels like magic.

Bands' profiles will be native citizens of the Fediverse to like, share, and comment. Excited yet?

@gribbles@mastodonmusic.social avatar

@benpate @n00q Intriguing…

Caught your demo video as well -

I need to read/see more, so I may be making one assumption too many here… 😉

But would I be right in thinking that - potentially - you could use Emissary to ‘build' an environment for a musician to run/host a bunch of apps dedicated to managing/promoting their music. Even potentially collaborating with other artists?

Have other users comment on tracks like soundcloud?

If that's a vague possibility/direction of travel, then hell yes - that's exciting…

gribbles,
@gribbles@mastodonmusic.social avatar

@benpate @n00q OK - that's really interesting.

I was chatting to some folk a while back about federated services between digital stores. This feels like it's relevant of course… 😉

Oh, and - synchronicity! I’ve learnt never to ignore it when things appear to line up…

My coding days are long over - but I’ve done some product management in my time and like to think I have an eye for opportunity!

Will give them a nudge...

And I’d be really interested to have a play & give some feedback... 👍

@gilesgoat that’s an Ableton Push. It’s the v2 - there is a v3 now…

gribbles,
@gribbles@mastodonmusic.social avatar

@gilesgoat the v3 is really pricy - especially the standalone as it’s pretty much got a laptop guts in it.

I was lucky - a few years back an old pal sold me his at a bargain price because he wasn’t using it.

But the Launchpad is spot on. The Push gives you deeper integration into Ableton Live’s instruments and devices & UI - if you need that sort of thing..

Today's ponderings.

This demo will probably make it into the setlist for Gainsborough Voices, though probably with a different sample.

But the $64,000 question is do I grab a flute off eBay and play the flute motif live? I used to play at school - how hard can it be to pick it back up...?

Cos y'know I'm not putting myself under enough pressure... 😆 😉

I'm doing a generative sound installation doofer later in the year in which I want to use some recordings of Lincolnshire Dialect poetry somehow.

I've got off to a tentative start - but this at least gives me a foundation to build on I think. I thought folks here might like to see how it develops, so I'll pop a very occasional update in here if there's any interest 😉

Looking forward to just building more elements into the set bit by bit and then seeing how they can fit together...

I have nothing new released on BandCamp today - but if you want to have a look at some folk who are considering doing things differently, then I have an exclusive release on

My latest is a 5 track EP called Tomorrow. It's exclusively available at http://jam.coop and http://Mirlo.space

They aim to give artists a fair deal by exiting to the community and becoming cooperatives. I like the cut of their jib.

https://rankett.net/w/baB32YF8ER16zKSDqbLE1o

The track 'falling' in the video above is taken from the EP - do pop on over to jam.coop or Mirlo to hear the others.

Worth having a poke around as well - there's music for listeners, and maybe something interesting to artists?

    As part of the run up to the Radio Wigwam Awards next week, the regular shows are showcasing the nominees - and tonight at 9pm The Syntherapy Show will be playing the Best Electro Act nominees.

    Why not pop on over and have a listen at https://radiowigwam.co.uk ? You can hear all the other artists and see if you think I'm in with a chance...😉😆

    I am genuinely flattered to be included in this line up - and I'm looking forward to popping down to the Awards next week...

    Sunday night music planning.

    Lists are being written. Rearranged. Scribbled on.

    There seems to be a lot on at the moment. Or at least a lot of potential.
    And I want to grasp the nettle a bit more this year

    @trevlad's Invisible Waves show on Mixcloud is soundtracking the evening 👍

    Oh. My. Gosh.

    WebScrobbler has had a bunch of updates in the last few days.

    It'll now scrobble way more sites - including BBC Sounds! Scrobble tunes you listen to on BBC radio! Mind Blown. 🤯

    (To be fair, it may have done this before and I missed it - the list of supported sites is getting loooong!)

    I’ve been a big #PorcupineTree fan for years, and first saw them live in 2005….or so I thought!

    @BenCotterill just mentioned that he saw them supporting #OzricTentacles once. I thought that would have been an amazing show, and recalled having done stage crew for Ozrics at Trent Poly in the 90s.

    Guess what: Porcupine Tree supported Ozrics at NTU in December 1995, and I was (apparently) there. How cool is that!? 😎 #music #livemusic #prog

    @witewulf I wish I’d done something similar. There are gigs I’m told I was at, but have no recollection of.

    And not for that reason. 😆

    Nice to see https://jam.coop/ getting some new features. Love to see software get little updates often.

    I have a good feeling about jam.coop - and the ethos behind it is spot on.

    Expect a couple of gribbles exclusives on there very very soon…

    New Hootgun is never not a cause for celebration.

    Loves me a bit of HG - and this brings the bounce as always.

    Recommended.

    If you do dip your bread, tell him gribbles sent you… 😉
