@Trine_DK super tråd, jeg synes det har været rigtig sjovt at følge!

@elsemusic @defaultmediatransmitter but what if this is actually the real bonkwave? And then all the other realeses is just, not bonkwave?

But I'm pretty sure this music is pretty much in the middle between Bonkwave and Not Bonkwave to be honest.

@arendleejessurun it really is!

I also get the feeling that it's about "owning" the sounds. Like the drums that always ends up being very hip-hop like, and much more low heavy that other music I hear. And then it's just about leaning into it.

I have learned in this process, that I am good enough to make something I'm proud off. And if other people like it, then it's cool. But I'm old enough to know, that life isn't about having other people love what you make.

So I'll keep "grinding" (as my gamer-son would say) and make one tune at the time, until I have something that feels just right.

I'm looking much forward to that day!

(I'm 21 sketches in btw...)

But when I make a transition in the DAW, it doesn't work the same way.

I kind of have to make one building block at the time, and the other tracks are not responsive - like a live musician would be. So if I would like to play or program a bass fill, the drums doesn't automatically follows.

This might sound obvious, but getting used to this feeling has been a massive obstacle for me, and often I get the feeling that "I'm not nearly good enough for making music this way, will anyone hear it?"

A part of this is me not being a pretty good instrumentalist (compared to the musicians I normally play with) and another part of this, is that building up music on a computer, is close to being a completely different language.

An example is transitions.

When you play live with a band, transitions is something you just do. Everybody has a sense of where you are in the form, and you kind of build up to the next phrase together. It's communication in the moment, and I love it.

Producing music in-the-box is a completely different way of creating and thinking about music.

As a vocalist I have always worked very intuitive and with improvisation as a big element. My concerts are often simple chord progressions, but written to be improvised over, which a lot of attention while playing. No concert are the same, something new happens each time, and I really love it.

But that intuitive way of producing music is completely absent when I work on a computer.

The biggest part has been getting used to making music on my own, and in the box. No “real” instruments, no writing lyrics while playing the guitar, no band to hand out sheets to. Just me and my computer, a small midi keyboard and primarily a pair of headphones.

I have been suprised how big the jump has been, but thinking about it, it makes totally sense.

I’m an educated musician. But from an education where you have a main instrument and always play live with others.

#LinuxAudio

During my “switch to” #LinuxAudio project, the music I make have slowly turned into something that fits some kind of style.

Not like a specific genre, but more a mash up of all the music I have listened to and made through the years. It’s fun to see it come together, and hopefully one day I’ll have 4-5 tracks which I like to collect on an EP or something.

The biggest part of this jurney has actually not been getting used to Linux.

Vores lokale bager (i Lind) har fået nye ejere (igen igen) indenfor det sidste års tid. Det har vist været svært at få til at køre rundt.

Nu har de så indført et nyt koncept, dårligere brød/kager, mindre udvalg men højere priser. Udvalget var ikke prangende i forvejen.

Jeg er ikke sikker på denne udgave af bageren overlever, vi kommer i hvert fald nemt til at svinge ind til storbyen (Herning), hvis ikke vi bager selv. Det er ikke altid man kan læne sig tilbage og sige “køb lokalt”.

@folfdk det lyder som et spændende job!

God vind!

@reynir jeg sidder bare og venter på afsløringen af at det der spilunivers er adgang til enarmede tyveknægte på den lokale grill!

@benjaminlj jeg kører selv stadig med Wordpress med et tema på størrelse med et helt OS. Så jeg er bestemt ikke selv for god.

Men jeg kan godt drømme mig tilbage til slut 90’erne, hvor man enten havde ren HTML eller klippede et hjemmelavet CMS sammen af nogle forskellige scripts. Det var virkelig en overskuelig mængde kode dengang.

“Cool. Here’s the thing, shithead: all of that is just HTML. It’s tags. You type them. With your fingers. Into a file.”

@folfdk Nej, DU er algoritmen 🤩

@jwcph jeg er personligt glad for at jeg har fundet ud af, at det kan være anderledes for mig.

At kunne sætte sig hvor man vil, når man vil, passer mig godt. Ikke fordi man skal arbejde hele tiden, men med mit hoved er gåture, pauser, arbejde fra en sofa, sidde på biblioteket mv., alle sammen værdifulde sceneskift, der hjælper mig med at holde koncentrationen.

Jeg egner mig virkelig ikke til 7.4 timer i streg foran en computer.

Så ja, der er faktisk et område hvor der er et “hul i markedet” hvis man vil væk fra de store tech mastodonter, hvis man gerne vil kunne lave administrationsopgaver fra mobilen.

Jeg er i gang med at teste Joplin Cloud, for OneNote fungerer vildt dårligt i browseren, og det er ind til videre ok. Men sync fra computeren er lidt langsom.

De siger jo at den næste stilling er den bedste stilling at sidde i, og det kan man i høj grad efterleve, ved engang imellem at arbejde fra mobilen.

Det kræver dog en god mobile-office, og her fungerer Microsoft 365 ok fordi det hænger sammen. Jeg er ikke sikker på det ville fungere så flydende med Infomaniaks kSuite som jeg bruger i mit eget firma, alting er delt mere op end i 365, da man skal bruge en ekstern office til at tilgå filerne. Apple’s ICloud kunne også fungere fint til formålet.

Det går godt med mit “arbejde fra mobilen” projekt. Når opgaverne er at svare på mail, rydde op i indbakken, sende bilag videre, skrive noget på en to-do liste, læse dokumenter/kontrakter igennem mv., så kan alting klares nemt og enkelt.

Faktisk oplever jeg at det hjælper mig at sortere i mine opgaver og derfor bedre at kunne fokusere, hvis jeg skifter mellem computer og mobil.

Computeren er stadig nødvendig til at håndtere filer, lave regneark og sende kontrakter. Men skiftet er godt!

@Genstart kæmpe tillykke!
