Hi everyone,
here's a little contemplative synthy tune I conceived - as the title
hints at - on a sunny Monday evening in the park and recorded and mixed
in Ardour 6 within the next few hours.
https://soundcloud.com/spotlightkid/gruenguertel-7-pm
All sounds are from a Yamaha reface DX FM synthesizer, so no FLOSS sound
generators here and almost all effects are from the reface DX, but the
track was done on Linux and with Ardour and additional effects (very
few) are all Open Source.
Download is enabled on SoundCloud for the track, if you want FLAC, and
you can also download it here:
* https://chrisarndt.de/music/homerecording/Gruenguertel%207%20pm.flac
* https://chrisarndt.de/music/homerecording/Gruenguertel%207%20pm.ogg
If you are interested in the synthesizer patches, let me know and I'll
upload them somewhere (they are not compatible with any other Yamaha FM
synth, though).
Share & Enjoy,
Chris
Hi.
Definitely not a finished piece of music. Patched and tuned in
basically just a few minutes, so there isn't any development or anything
else you'd want to have from a track in this genre.
And not even made with Linux as such. It is a all-hardware track,
recorded with SuperCollider. However, we had a lot of fun performing it
together. If you're still here, here goes the story:
I have two Analogue Solutions Megacities. The megacity is an analogue
step sequencer with 64 steps. It can be used in two-channel mode, so
you get 2x32 steps. Since I have two of them, I patched them up to have
4 channels of CV output, directly going to a Döpfer A-111-4[1].
So I clocked the step sequencers with a slow pulse every 4 beats.
And tuned some 7th chords by hand. Mind you, no quantisation in use.
Since I was already sort of terrorizing my girl while preparing the
patch, it turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to give her a
hands-on dive into the world of modular synthesizers. She has a really
good ear, and once I showed her which of the countless encoders were
responsible for the individual chord tones, she was hooked and determined
to make it sound passable. A minute later, she found herself twiddling
the cutoff and resonance knobs on a x0xb0x as if that's what she always
has been doing. So I couldn't resist and capture this
magical moment of understanding.

This is an unedited improv where I was trying out a couple of my latest voice
patches. I used two keyboards one set to transmit on MIDI channel 1
and the other on channel 2. The pads (LH) are 'Ghost Ensemble' and the lead
(RH) is 'Angel Harp'.
Some of the pauses are intentional others are "Heck! Where do I go now." :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Dang, your "wobbly" singing is way better than man. Nice music!

Hi list,
since Kubuntu 20.04 there are big stars next to the volume controls for
each audio device labelled "Default Device". First I thought that's
cool, now I can set the default device and it stays that device.
However, the system decides that if the user plugs in an USB soundcard
the newly detected soundcard will be the new soundcard. :(
In my case if I plug in a zoom H2_n recorder the desktop audio will be
switched from the Jack Sink to the teeny speaker which is in that
recorder. Not what is desirable.
Is there a solution to this?

Hi,
today we have published the video of another single of John Option: Any.
Of course the song is published under the terms of the Creative Commons
License (CC-BY-SA) and it's completely produced with free software:
Ardour, Hydrogen, Jack, Qsynth, CALF, and many other
great free audio software that we used under Debian GNU/Linux.
Here you can listen the single and see the video (made with kdenlive):
http://youtu.be/lXbUKeo-PFY
As for the previous songs we have done a little more in the direction of
freedom and we published in our website[1] the single recording tracks
and the complete Ardour session. All this material is published under
the terms of the Creative Commons license Attribution Share alike so
that anyone can use our tracks to produce a remix of our song or even a
new song that have to be published under the same license.
You can find all about our project here: http://johnoption.org
I hope that you like our choice of freedom. If you feel like I'd love
to read your feedback, because the encouragement of the people who
listen to us and appreciate the philosophy of our project is the only
fuel for us to continue. And if you like to be updated about our next
release, please subscribe to our YouTube channel or any other social
network you like (see link to our profiles on our website[1]).
Best regards,

I'm happy to report that as of this morning, 100-Watt KNYO-FM in Fort Bragg California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KNYO-LP) is running on Linux, Linux Audio and Free Software.
(Well, then again, I can't speak for their website; I didn't set that up, and it looks like an F5 box, dunno what they run. But the actual streaming and broadcast radio signal chain up to the transmitter is Linux.)
The FM transmitter is in a remote location getting its audio program from a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian connected via DSL to a Linode running Airtime and Icecast2 for station automation and streaming. The studio machine is a Linux Mint XFCE box running The BUTT connected via DSL to the Linode and Airtime. I've done a few Liquidsoap customizations to Airtime to fill in missing features (AutoDJ, saving incoming streams, etc) and will be doing more, possibly contributing them upstream if I can keep them clean and general enough.

My little weird project has released a song this year as well, ready
to ruin the holiday cheer for those that want it. It's mostly doom
this year I guess, sprinkled with some bongo parts and such nonsense.
And some chaos at the end.
As usual with this band (and a reason why I rarely post about the
releases here), it's a total rush job, with the vocalist doing his
parts only last week, and me trying to squeeze in some bad mixing job
until I had to upload it yesterday, when I left home for the rest of
the year.
I know some people have trouble with bandcamp, so if you can't listen
(or take advantage of the free download), and have a good idea for a
place I could upload it for easy wget, let me know!

Happy yule-time to you all!
