"'It appears Spotify has returned to attacking the very songwriters who make its business possible,' said David Israelite, the NMPA’s president and CEO [...] 'Spotify’s attempt to radically reduce songwriter payments by reclassifying their music service as an audiobook bundle is a cynical, and potentially unlawful, move [...] We will not stand for their perversion of the settlement we agreed upon in 2022.'"

My refusal to use Spotify and massive preference for Bandcamp/Mirlo/Jam.coop/Faircamp grows every day

@vincentbiret the ones I mentioned focus on selling downloads to listeners. Bandcamp is the one I'm most familiar with, and if you buy something there, it also becomes available for unlimited streaming on their app/website.

I also use SoundCloud for my portfolio stuff that I'm not selling, and Jamendo sounds cool for free streaming/licensing purposes.

I've been feeling exactly like this comic, but I got a cheap retro alarm clock and started keeping my phone in the living room at night. It's really nice

A small white circular alarm clock with a classic 8-segment LCD and a blue backlight. It also gives temperature and date.

@reillypascal@hachyderm.io avatar

Music platform @mirlo is raising funds to keep running! They let listeners buy directly from musicians, with only 7% going to the platform. They're owned by a worker co-op and open-source too

I really appreciate what they're doing, especially with the instability at Bandcamp

"Ecologists have reoriented their field as a 'crisis discipline,' a field of study that’s not just about learning things but about saving them. We technologists need to do the same. Rewilding the internet connects and grows what people are doing across regulation, standards-setting and new ways of organizing and building infrastructure, to tell a shared story of where we want to go."

New blog post! I talk about making this "broken radio" sound I posted about a few weeks ago: https://hachyderm.io/@reillypascal/112242684024114281

The sound is pretty involved, so this week I'm talking about just the glitchy looper part. I will make a part 2 soon, to talk about combining the looper with radio noises.

@axwax I have a recent release! This track is for clarinet, flute, and MIDI keyboard w/ Max/MSP. There are strange woodwind noises and multiphonics, ham radio samples & retro electric piano, among other things, and it sounds glitchy and trippy. It's on a compilation w/ 11 other composers, and that's great to check out as well!

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

reillypascal,
@reillypascal@hachyderm.io avatar

@molly0xfff the main thing I miss is people actually going to a variety of websites. I remember when Wordle just came out (and wasn't owned by NYT) somebody said that if there is going to be a web3, it'll just be people actually going to websites again, like they were with Wordle, and that resonated with me.

Two people standing on either side of a wood chair in a large, white, reverberant room with tile floor and stone carvings on the wall. They drag it slowly and theatrically back and forth, making reverberant scraping noises.

My DUSG (dual universal slope generator) arrived this week, completing my little Serge skiff.

@synths

A photo of a eurorack skiff with four modules, taken from directly above. The modules left to right are GTO, DPLPG, Wave Multipliers and Dual Universal Slope Generator. All by Serge by Random Source except for the DPLPG by Meng Qi.

@reillypascal@hachyderm.io avatar

@ology it takes in a control voltage that immediately jumps from value to value and slows down that jump into a smooth slope. You can adjust how fast the rise time and fall time are independently of each other. Another term that gets used for something like this is a "slew limiter."

The module can also generate its own slopes as an envelope, or it can cycle the slopes as an LFO

I'm among the suckers who started groups on Slack despite the limits of the free account. Using Discord always reminds me of walking into the room of a friend who never cleans their house. I am thinking maybe I'll try Matrix if I get the time and gumption to make a change. For now I'm content to do nothing. And I do note that some orgs stick with the Slack free plan even though hitting limits disappears messages; and some orgs stick with Discord despite the clutter and uneven participation.

I have a new track out today! https://applytriangle.bandcamp.com/track/if-this-reaches-you

It's a glitchy, experimental trio for flute, clarinet, and MIDI keyboard/Max. There are Morse code and other ham radio samples, electric piano, and bowed cardboard box, and it's surprisingly groovy.

The full album has 11 different composers, and you can find it here: https://applytriangle.bandcamp.com/album/oxalis-triangularis-vol-2

New blog post — I have a track coming out April 12! it's on a new album by the electroacoustic trio Apply Triangle with works by 33 composers, and it was recorded remotely during lockdown.

I talk about collecting amateur radio samples to use in the piece, the album project, and there's even a poem.
