I'm adding a live instrument to my gear, a beat up intro strat that I've owned since new and never practiced haha, will be posting again, I'm on Bandlab. The thing with bandlab is that I love it, its the best blend of social media and collaborative musicianship I've found, not perfect but really interesting. I've done a few collabs but nothing successful so I thought I'd hunker down and learn my gear better. Bandlab has an online daw with some version and collab features but my use of firefox there is getting dodgy so will migrate to chrome. On my local computer I sort of plod along with lmms and whatever version of audacity that happens to run to some degree.

I also took ardour for a spin and it is one nice piece of work but being broke I would have to settle for an old version as its build process is over my head, plus its development just moves too fast for me whereas lmms was installed on my studio linux with tons of plugins so it was worth it to learn. I'm on ubuntu studio 20.something so there's an upgrade to be made there too.

I'm trying to finish off a final mix of a weird album. It's a 36 minute composition made from recordings done over 2023/24. It is all rotary magnetic bow on electroduochord and metal wire rack shelving, and will be on Bandcamp soon. https://stefanpowell.bandcamp.com/

To get things started. Style is weirdo dance music. 10 years of piano lessons. 5 years of saxophone. 30 years making music as a hobby and I'm happy to waste a weekend on a 4 bar vocal loop (not me singing) and ARP variations of E,D,B.

I play my one-man live band almost every day, and everything I play is automatically recorded; from time to time I check the recordings and then master a few tracks and put them on my website: http://rochus-keller.ch/?p=1317
