There are lots of real non-Linux instruments (sax, bass, drums, congas, guitar, voice, etc.) and the recording method has been an H2 and not Ardour or anything Linux-based. The only Linux content has been my keyboard playing.

It even pays a tiny, tiny, infintessimal amount of money too, which is a slight improvement over the frictionless zero-cost-but-zero-income method of distrbuting home-made music over the Internet. Then again the costs of transportation and the time involved in schlepping gear around (oh my aching back!) makes it largely a money-losing endeavour.

Last Saturday night's gig now available:

I was able to run the PA in stereo this time, so the H2 was able to pick up some of the auto-pan on the Rhodes, and the stereo goodness of WhySynth and Nekostring and the Leslie simulator on AZR3, and on Atte's "drifting overtone" AMS patch.

The guest guitarist also brought a stereo amp with chorus and stereo tremolo.
