Fellow computer music enthusiasts,
Please pardon the x-posting:
On behalf of the Virginia Tech Linux Laptop Orchestra, I am pleased to
announce the first official public release of the L2Ork Tweeter.
*What is L2Ork Tweeter?*
L2Ork Tweeter is a free and open source program inspired by the
unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that has required a vast majority of the
human population to practice prolonged social distancing. It is designed
to bring communities together by empowering users around the world to
engage in collaborative music making even over slow internet
connections. It also facilitates the exploration of audio synthesis and
the rich variety of sounds one can generate using the frequency
modulation algorithm. It supports up to ten concurrent performers and as
many additional guests or audience members as the server bandwidth
allows who can observe a performance live over the internet. Each user
is given an instrument with a tracker that can be populated by up to 64
loop-enabled keystrokes or notes. This intentional constraint requires
users to build complexity through interaction with other users. It is in
part inspired by the popular social media platform Twitter that imposes
a similar design constraint of allowing only up to 280 characters per
Tweet. As a result, and as evidenced by its name, L2Ork Tweeter can be
seen as a musical counterpart to Twitter.

This was originally composed using a Yamaha SY22 and Mk1 Roland Soundcanvas
with an Acorn Archimedes computer. I transferred the MIDI file to Rosegarden
then set up Yoshimi and basically rebuilt it, be with a better range of sounds,
and also some new backing and counter melodies.
I hope you like the result :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi all!
I just posted a live-in-the-studio recording of a new track "click" on my
youtube channel.
https://youtu.be/9YgUOOxyTNA
All modular, recorded (in one take) and mixed in reaper (native linux).
On a sidenote: I'm aware that reaper is not FLOSS, but it's killer. I've
been running the native linux (I'm on debian) version for well over a year,
it's rock steady. The last couple of months I've been running it on both a
pi4 (used for recording, for instance the above, 22 tracks of hi-res flac
with no hick-ups) and my laptop, switching between boxes is (almost)
seamless, the only "problem" is that for some reason reaper will regenerate
peak-files (used for displaying waveforms) when opening on the other
platform...
Anyways, hope you enjoy the track :-)
Cheers

Hey ey,
La Parisienne:

Almost entirely recorded with the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra, the free SFZ
orchestral library. Only some lead lines and the tuba were doubled with an
analogue sound each to slightly emphasize them. The whole piece was then
reverberated with jconvolver.
Stylistically, it mixes the romantic waltz with 60s dance orchestral passages.
There is even a short quotation from something popular. :)
Feedback as ever is welcome.
Note about the youtube description: I know that something went wrong there,
with the first five words being at the end. Right now I am quite frustrated
with the web experience of such services. YT is acceptable - mostly -, SC
bringing pure terror. :(
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hey hey,
yes, it's a Bach arrangement or transcription. A somewhat proggy (but
complete) arrnagement of J.S. Bach organ prelude "Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu
Christ" (BWV639). Something I've wanted to do badly for years:
https://youtu.be/45g5JKJpRwA
It's mostly software here: massive use of LinuxSampler, Aeolus bass pedals,
setBfree and Fluidsynth for the electric bass. Only the melody in the first
full run through is hardware, as is the bass in the intro.
Also massive use of plugins: a shoutout fo Vynil for the intro as well as many
others. I'm really growing fond of Fons' Zita-reverb.
I hope you enjoy it, feedback is welcome (when wasn't it? :) ).
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Dear LAU list,
Can you help with the evaluation of (syntesized) snare drum sounds?
(It's for a paper.) Trained ears, and headphone or speakers are
required, will take a few minutes (9 samples, choice of 4 possible
answers per sound example):
Needs to be no later than 9 hours from now.
