Background I’ve written a couple of times about playing about with a MIDI-enabled pipe organ and I’ve shared some of my results on YouTube. Today I want to say a bit about my workflow because a few people have asked, and it is a somewhat complicated but hopefully interesting. This isn’t supposed to be instructional:Continue reading “My MIDI pipe organ workflow”

Making a public music streaming service with Navidrome
For a while, I’ve wanted to set up some kind of public music player, to allow people to stream and download music I’ve recorded for free, without having to make an account. First I tried using Bandcamp but I found the user interface on the free tier to be awkward, and it took too longContinue reading “Making a public music streaming service with Navidrome”
Keys, music and rose
Still life photography isn’t usually a field I dabble in. You might think it would be easy, but it’s actually quite hard to make an arrangement that looks good. I’m quite pleased with this arrangement, although I’m hopeless at making up titles so it is simply called keys, music and rose. This picture was takenContinue reading “Keys, music and rose”
Archdeacon’s Visitation
Tonight at St Mary’s, the (acting) Archdeacon of Bristol visited. The church band (who usually play at Taste) were on good form and so I made these recordings. Click the links to listen, or right-click to save them. Enjoy! Be still for the presence of the Lord Holy holy holy is the Lord Credits AnjaContinue reading “Archdeacon’s Visitation”

In its current form, it is stored on a hard disk as 59GB of MP3 and other digital compressed formats. It has a total playing time of 718 hours –Continue reading “Miniaturisation”

Your favourite song – Awaken by Yes Your least favourite song – Friday by Rebecca Black A song thatContinue reading “30 Day Song Challenge”
More contenders for the black theme
Since I took the picture of floor tiles yesterday for Stu’s black themed photo challenge, I’ve been trying to come up with something I like more. Here are two photos I took this evening that are also candidates for the final submission…
Singing the blues
last.fm
For a while now I’ve been using a service called last.fm. Basically it (a program called a scrobbler) monitors what music I listen to and compiles statistics. I only do it because I find statistics interesting, and often I surprise myself that I’ve listened to lots of an artist that I never really considered oneContinue reading “last.fm”
Getting old
I realised I was getting old earlier when I was listening to an internet radio station and a trance tune came on. My first thought was that my ALSA server had gone wrong, what with the jittering and odd noises. Back in my day, trance was tuneful, I’m sure of it…
