New Tune Out Soon

Well, my trials with Mirlo.space continue. Five attempts to upload my new tune, full name “More Nervous Energy-250819-001” to Mirlo.space with attempts either terminated after 1/2 hour to an hour, or a relatively immediate abort with no file name given. The excuse is that the developers never thought anyone would use anything but a desktop to upload. This in the day-and-age when phones and tablets are almost as powerful as a desktop. The only excuse is that the developers still regard the software to be beta, though it seems more like late alpha software.

I hope to upload the tune to Bandcamp (https://jaypeach.bandcamp.com) tonight, and possibly upload to https://Mirlo.space from either my laptop, if it feels like working, or maybe my raspberry pi.

Guitar Explorations

I just dropped a new tune, “Guitar Explorations 250802” on Mirlo.space and am working to put it on Bandcamp. I hooked up a Fender guitar,that’s one of my favorites, to the pedal board shown and then to a Fender Twin Reverb thru the Vibrato section. Recorded on my trusty Zoom H8 and processed on my iPhone using the AUM app.

Anyway, the tune, should you be interested in listening to it, is to be found at https://mirlo.space/jaypeach53/releases and https://jaypeach.bandcamp.com

More on Music

More on Music; been fooling around with the Nervous Keys preset on my Arturia Microfreak lately. I kinda like the sounds it makes and I’m trying to find a drone sound to use with it. The gear that I’m experimenting with includes the Moog Mother-32 and the Moog Mavis. We’ll see how things go.

The new music that I’m working on I’m planning to upload to platforms I haven’t used before, Mirlo and bandwagon.fm. They’re platforms built to enable artists to keep more of the money generated from customer purchases. And as an extra benefit, no AI training from your music. The plan is to emulate SoundCloud and Bandcamp.

More on Spotify

Well, make me a liar. Spotify users numbers have gone up almost 200% over the past couple of weeks. I dunno whether they’re promoting emerging artists, or what the deal is. I still have nowhere the numbers that I had back in 2021, 2022 and 2023, when I had an average of more than 250 monthly listeners, but any increase is helpful.

Maybe I should try making more EDM type music. What do you think? More EDM or more of the same? Answers in comments, since WordPress doesn’t seem to support polls.

More Music?

I’m feeling the urge to make music tonight. Maybe using the Moog Sub 37 again. I was playing with it 2 nights ago and made one recording. Tonight might be another time to delve deeper to do some sound design.

I also need to apply myself to reexamine the other work I’ve created over the past few months to release or to abandon.

Well Between a Stomache Bug and Music Making…

I’ve been too busy to make any blog entries. For about 7-10 days, I got out a number of synthesizers and spent hours fiddling around with them. I got especially good results from a few of them, and made some recordings.

Then disaster struck. I seem to have come down with either a stomache bug or food poisoning. I still haven’t fully recovered and still feel a little woozy. So as soon as I feel up to it, it’ll be time to review the recordings I made to see if they’re releasable material.

Playing Around with Experimental Electronic Music

Over the past few days, I’ve been having a blast playing around with my collection of electronic music gear. From my trusty Roland SP-404 mk II and Roland S-1 to the Moog Mavis and Moog Mother-32, I’ve been exploring the world of experimental electronic sounds.

My recording setup has been a mix of old and new. I’ve been using my Zoom H8 and a modded turquoise tape cassette recorder to capture the raw sounds. There’s something magical about the warm, analog feel of tape recordings.

Once I have the recordings, I plan to transfer them to my SP-404 and my Elektron Oktatrack for further processing. These machines give me endless possibilities to manipulate and shape the sounds I’ve captured. It’s like being a mad scientist in a sonic laboratory.

Who knows, maybe these experiments will lead to something special. I might even end up releasing some of these recordings for others to enjoy. So, if you’re a fan of electronic music and love the thrill of the unexpected, stay tuned for updates.

Remember, electronic music is all about pushing boundaries, exploring new sonic territories, and embracing the unexpected. So, join me on this journey as I dive deeper into the world of experimental electronic music. Who knows what we’ll discover along the way?
