#OpenScoreClub is a regular meeting for a quick fun playthrough of a piece of @contemporarymusic run by #comaGlasgow.

Today's playing is online, and the piece is //Making a Choice and Then Making Another Choice// by #JamesSaunders. Might be a good day to check them out! ;)

The #event is good for different skill levels.

I have started transcribing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto N.3 into ABC notation. I must need my bumps feeling! I'm on page 5 of 31!!

Can you confidently tell if the person without glasses here:

is THE SAME as the person with glasses here:

"There are two musics (at least so I have always thought):
the music one listens to, the music one plays. These two
musics are two totally different arts, each with its own history,
its own sociology, its own aesthetics, its own erotic"

It really bothers me that légumes is French for vegetables, but English nabbed it and said, no it's beans and bean plants

Voluntarily learning music theory whenever I feel like it because why not. I like to think people are horrified of the things I like to do for fun.

Does anybody have any experience of Zoom breakout rooms? I'm going to try them with one of my classes tomorrow and have never done it before and have no way to practise beforehand.

Would you #peerReview a #musical micro-#RPG?

Unpaid help, alas. You'll get an in-file credit for the feedback. Publication itself will be free.

It might be helpful if you know what a peer review is, :) but you don't need to be a credentialed academic – it will just be fun if you can pose as one!

The game was tested. It's before formatting (6 A4s, ~2k words). Takes ~15 min. to play but feedback from reading is enough for the authors.

DM or reply please. :)

eniko, 6 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to gamedev

curious about something. wanna see how big the #GameDev community on mastodon is. are you a game developer? plz boost for reach

EDIT: i cannot prescribe that anyone is a gamedev or in what capacity. if you don't self identify as a gamedev, vote no, if you self identify as a professional gamedev even if you're doing it alongside a dayjob, pick the professional category. there are no wrong answers

#Accessibility question. Does anyone know if using #utf images is a good solution for screen readers?

Examples that we use so far could be: 📜 📷 ✱ †

Thinking of more.

(Alas, these general issues on our #wiki are not fine -- #wikidot's stiff engine doesn't help with accessibility).

A new article, not exactly ready, but worth mentioning. It is all about traditional musical games.
So far it mentions cultures: Ainu, Inuit, Japanese, Lummi, Maori, and Polish.

http://musicgames.wikidot.com/wiki:traditional

Please, if you know about any traditional games that let players make music (and considerably shape it -- a background song is not enough here ;) ) please let know in any available way. Serious sources are cool too! ;)

It was exactly two years ago, when G4M co-organized a "Game Design for Composers" workshop at Break My Game Discord server.

It was focused on the notions of balance and meaningful choice and applying them to participatory open scores.

Good times! :)
(i.e. looking narrowly at this specific event, you know, online event, two years ago, global reasons...)

Promotional images attached.

AMA? ;) (hard sell, long shot, tough cookie...) ;)
