I've added two more pieces to my website - didn't know I would be able to stuff so much on it! Slinky is very experimental both from the point of view of the effects I've used, and from a more involved percussion track, which is something I'm never really comfortable with. Cinderella's Night At The Ball, is a much simpler and gentle style. The sort of thing I find myself slipping into quite easily. I hope you enjoy these. As before, the URL is: folderol.ukfsn.org -- F

Carlo I believe I understand your premise, but I don't think a certain 'content/philosophy' is necessary to accomplish this purpose. I think all you need to do is make music that people value as much as they do their food, their house, their clothes or anything else they place monetary value on - and this could be *any* kind of music. There are many people who cannot imagine life without music, and even some who would go hungry in order to afford to buy tickets to a concert, for example. It is *these* people you need to find and share your music with. And the *kind* of music people value to this extent could be anything and everything. Whatever gives people joy - makes them laugh, makes them cry, makes them angry, makes them want to dance - or just makes them want to go on living. I don't think it needs a particular message or focus - in fact, I think that would be very counterproductive. It is when you play from your heart - make music that *you* love - music that inspires *you* and is an expression of your own essence - that people will respond the most favorably. Small example: my husband was once playing in a caf� - receiving only tip jar proceeds. A man from the local Baha'i community heard him and liked the music so much that he spontaneously ordered 20 CDs to sell at cost at his Baha'i center - just because he felt the music was inspiring and befitting to that environment. Those are the kind of connections you need to make. And that illustrates another point as well - that you've got to get out there and connect with people personally in order to achieve what your are talking about. That is the downside to internet-only music. People are willing to open their purse - or at least throw you a crust of bread - when you are there in front of them performing your music live, whereas if they just downloaded it online they probably wouldn't even think about tipping for it. When the music is live - the listeners get to participate and be involved in it - it becomes a cooperative and shared experience - and that is something that people value very highly. I don't think anything will ever replace live music. Make the music that *you* love and find the people who resonate to that and love it as well. I think that is the secret. - Maluvia

[linux-audio-user] gnaural - experience and thoughts?

by Dana Olson

Hey, I hope this app falls under the proper-for-lau header. http://gnaural.sf.net/ is the site, and binaural beats is the name of the game. Have any of you experts here got an opinion on these kinds of apps? I was thinking it could all be a placebo effect, as I'm skeptical of things like this, but it seems to maybe be more scientific than that. I'm just wondering if anyone here has tried these kinds of things or studied the effects. Perhaps turning down the pink noise and putting in some music would be nice to experiment with as well. I tried the app last night, and a couple minutes into it, I got extremely dizzy all of a sudden, but it only lasted for about 2 seconds. Then later on, I changed the pattern and made it dip low. When I did that, and it came around to playing that part, my head started to wobble in response to the music. Very weird. I don't know that it still wasn't a mental thing - it very well could have been. But I'd like to think that if this isn't a universally true effect, then I have a stronger will than to be affected by something like this, entirely in my mind. So. Yeah. Dana

Naturally, both are fried in beef dripping. I don't see why people think we eat strange food. :)

Loooook-out! Rob comes out swinging! It's a one-round knock-out! LOL I'm with ya, guy - Freeeeeeeeeeeeeedooooooooom!!!!!!!!!! Just for clarification: I believe Carlo's intent was to discuss things that *could* be done with music - not what *should* or *must* be done. We've all got a choice.

[linux-audio-user] expander/gate plugin?

by Kevin Cosgrove

Is there a LADSPA expander gate plugin that I could use with Ardour and/or Audacity? The SWH SC[1-4] compressor plugins work nicely, now that I upgraded to something newer than a 2004 release. ;-) Thanks much.... -- Kevin

Yes - but it was in the context of how might one create music that would facilitate a particular desired result. 'Ought to' in this sense meaning "it would probably work best if . . . " - to bring about this particular result. >> (Be ye of the fighting Irish by any chance?) :) > >Only half ;) I *knew it*! That was a rare fine display of Celtic fire if I ever saw one. The most sure way to raise a Celt's ire is to tell them they either *can't* or *must* do something - guaranteed way to get their dander up. (I should know - being mostly Scot, with a good splash of Welsh to go along with it.) Cheers, Maluvia

[linux-audio-user] Manage sounds, patchs, combi and stuff for this hardware.-

by Juan Marcelo Rodríguez

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I have a Korg x5d and the midi interface to work with. I use the interface, record with Gnu/Linux and works quite well. But, as you know the keyboard includes a software for Windows and Mac to manage the combinations, the presets, and the sounds of the keyboard. I used to use this application with the OS mentioned above, but now I just use Gnu/Linux and I don't find an application to do this kind of work. It's, again, i.e.: to save the actual configuration of the keyboard, use another one downloaded from internet, edit sounds, combis, reset the keyboard, and use the bank A or B. All that controled by my Gnu/Linux machine. Best, Juan.- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEEYg3wWB8GXdhYbcRArarAJ9LwzLQDTFaW5T3GtvzENEvLfmkrACeKKTt 0Jfz3hpNPNYC6xxGL1uacOk= =Kxx5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
