we used orca by @neauoire and composed a bunch of tunes & demo’d them. Starless and Carbide got into a harp / keyboard duel. It was absolute magic. Symys won a little lain with headphones patch 😊

In a few hours, my living room will once again be converted into the makeshift clown gym we use to host the #CircusInPlace video chat.

It's a bit like the calm before a very silly storm.

Pop by starting at 8pm UTC-5 (note the time change!) for a night of conversation, circus tricks, and other shenanigans.

Improvised music, birds, bowed strings 

A few days ago, we had some beautiful weather for March. Have a little improvised song I recorded outside on my bowed psaltery.

Food, kidney safety 

I know it's a big news day, but I tried starfruit for the first time this morning and it sent me into a hiccuping fit through the duration of my morning meeting. Tiny hiccups every two or so breaths! Eeeee! >.<

Starfruit is tasty, but isn't safe to eat on an empty stomach. Please learn from my hubris.

Cyberia.club live-coding music jam! 


Heya! On Saturday, March 13th at 0000 UTC/1800 CST, the Cyberia Computer Club will be hosting our first Orca jam session!

Come chat with us about it in :cyberia.club on matrix (and for submissions) and find the rest of the details here: cyberia.club/music-jam

We've all been using orca for less than a week, so it'll be real casual and stuff. We're still figuring a lot out. Consider yourself invited! 💙

Heavy metal legends and outspoken copyright maximalists Metallica played a concert on Twitch, only to find their audio replaced with royalty-free chiptune library music by an automated copyright filter:

Police, spam, dystopia 

I was woken up this morning by a robocall an hour before my alarm went off. It was a fundraiser call from someone operating a soundboard asking for donations to help some "friends of police" kind of org. They asked for donations for supplemental police training programs (notoriously violent) and widow support. They immediately hung up on me when I asked about their stance on de-escalation and non-violence training.

It was definitely a scam call. I'm not seeing any record of the phone number they called with, etc, but ugh... That whole experience just makes me feel gross. The soundboard voice was, like, 1950s Hollywood baritone male, which just felt, like, extra bad??

Ugh, get me off this ride.

Suburban nightscape with snow, pollution 

I went for a midnight walk yesterday and took this picture. Light pollution sucks, not doesn't make bad landscapes.

I composed a mellow little song on my harp. I think it's a really just an accompaniment to a song, but I'm not sure. Maybe you'll like it?

May this year being you peace, justice, and growth.

Around this time of year, I find myself wanting to play more music. I'm not terribly Christian, but I often wind up playing Christmas carols on my harp out of convenience, etc.

This year, I think I'll do sea shanties instead.

(this is The Wellerman, pardon the unturned instrument)

Aaaaaaaa I am so excited about the possibility of CAT EARS HEARING DEVICES!

Pandemic + 

Just ordered dinner while soaking in the tub. Not a bad evening in.

At this point, I don't think I could come out of the broom closet at work if I tried. Literally just asked for Samhain off at the end of the month, since we might need to be available overnight and my boss just went "yep, okay".

Good news? He's cool with it. Bad news? He asks how my Christmas was every year.
