[LAU] [OT] Looking for a Welsh folksong but can't spell it :-(

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! Pardon this post, but I'm getting frustrated and knowing Welsh spelling and pronounciation, I decided to ask for help. Is there a folksong called "Gwennadin" or similoar. It was mentioned in the book "Tim Frazer gets the message" by Franics durbridge. I only have an audiobook and no article about it seems to mention the piece. It's a children's song or a folk song I believe. I thoght someone here might know it or at least be able to spell it out for me. Thank you and sorry once again. Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

Hi John :) I've got difficulties to completely understand your whole mail, perhaps regarding to my broken English. However, the windows managers and desktop environments might need 3D support and similar things, if you're using special desktop effects, so it can be, that a desktop environments needs this, e.g. 3D acceleration, as being provided, but it's provided by X (for some users perhaps by Wayland instead of X). For your Ubuntu Studio Xfce shouldn't need 3D acceleration or any other special option. Xfce can be used with or without the proprietary NVIDIA driver. What kernel do you run exactly? What's the output of uname -a ? If it's a PREEMPT RT, than it's very likely that the proprietary driver can't be used with the kernel. If it's a full PREEMPT kernel with threadirqs activated, the proprietary driver should work. Any output for $ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? Regards, Ralf

[LAU] Been neglecting the music :(

by Folderol

These days I always seem to have too many pots on the boil, and find myself having to play catch-up, so apart from occasionally comments I must apologise for neglecting LAU for so long. Anyway, I *have* still been working on the music itself, and recently completed two quite challenging works. The first is called 'Ride With Yoshimi' and is my attempt at a demo of what the synth is capable of. The 'performance' is a straight run through using two instances for a full 32 voice patches, all controlled by Rosegarden and with no other sound sources or effects. The first 2 minutes run through the same basic melody expanding and swapping voices, but then it changes quite dramatically :) The second is called 'Between The Stars' and is my interpretation of what I think would be the moods, feelings and thoughts of a long-time space traveller. I hope you like them. http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Ride_With_Yoshimi.ogg http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Between_The_Stars.ogg -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

When I bought the amp, the dealer had a cheap second-hand (I'm old, but not that old) ARP Odyssey, but I wasn't aware that it would have been a better choice to buy the synth instead and in addition another amp, e.g. a Roland Cube. "Gear nerd" is swearing ;). It's simply that those synth do sound amazing, when you play them. On recordings the difference between those monsters and virtual synth often isn't that big, but when playing live, comparing a real synth and some virtual synth is hardcore. To mix a song it's always easier to use a mix of a few monster synth and some less good synth or virtual synth, than using only monsters or only crappy sound generators. Can't listen to it now. I'm already interested to hear Dave's "restoration" ASAP.

[LAU] Fuck your sexism

by SxDx

http://sed.free.fr/fuck_your_sexism.ogg Shit music, shit recording, for shit people. Inspired by some shit on IRC freenode/#lad (see below, especially "<male> falktx_: Ah, but you're not a 350lbs angry wife." and "<falktx_> I think it's very cute") and some crap on this almost female-free mailing list. Sexism. Is. Not. Tolerable. It's true in the "real world" (think: shit countries, including yours, wherever you are), and even more in places promoting freedom, like this list. If you don't see sexism in that picture, chances are your brain is doomed. Don't come bullshit me, I don't care about you. I won't talk to you. Do some research on sexism, as described by women, how it affects them, how hard it is for them most of the time to spit on your sexist bastardish face. I am not a woman. I spit on your face. I don't care if you insult me after that email. I don't care if you ban me. I just can't stand sexism, period. Fuck you if you're a sexist. Fuck your sexism. ---------------------- <falktx_> yes! <falktx_> :) <nilsge> falktx_: shane richards? <falktx_> I'm 24 btw <falktx_> yep <nilsge> then I'll read that instead of deleting it <falktx_> my windows apps stopped working on linux, lol <male> falktx_: I had to look up the image to see what he was talking about... hardly offensive. <hurfadurf> haha what <falktx_> this pic: http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/tmp/scr124.png <falktx_> it's Hatsune Miku <falktx_> a big thing on japanese culture actually <falktx_> I've switched the default to be without her pose, but the 12.04.1 KXStudio ISO will remain with that as default <falktx_> I think it's very cute <hurfadurf> haha, oh man. <male> falktx_: Ah, but you're not a 350lbs angry wife. <nilsge> falktx_: you are ecchi, man <nilsge> lol <hurfadurf> male: whoa, shots fired! <hurfadurf> haha <falktx_> that was just pure rant <falktx_> I only got 1 single complain about that miku pic, and its from a guy I talk to frequently <falktx_> basically he never went to me to say anything at all <falktx_> Q&A, yeah <male> falktx_: Change it to this (NSFW) in the next release: http://goo.gl/HRFE1 <falktx_> for the record, I still maintain the 10.04/Lucid repos <falktx_> male: nice <falktx_> male: oh, even better, randomly show pics when least expected ;) <falktx_> maybe patch jack to do it on xruns <falktx_> haha <male> I will never understand Japanese culture. <falktx_> these things make me sad. half of those are not true <falktx_> some people will see the rant and ignore it, but I'm afraid some might actually believe it <male> falktx_: Compare him to Hitler so we can hurry up and end this thread ;-) <falktx_> I'm not replying <falktx_> I barely reply to ML, it's annoying <male> falktx_: Anyway, there was no point to his suffering. He should have had an offsite backup. <falktx_> or asked directly <falktx_> I have links to the old Lucid ISOs <falktx_> they will still work <SxDx> (where am I...) * You have left channel #lad ("better leave than read that crap")
