Using Zoom on Linux is a fun way to get everything to crash; and may as well flip a coin to see if I'll get connected / anyone will be able to hear me. Google Meet, Slack calls, literally everything else works perfectly. With scr

I've seen a bunch of looper guys. They're fun. But that's not anything remotely similar to the exercise we're discussing here. Live improv = awesome Forced labor = not

I hate it because it's ridiculous. Writing through post in 24 hours with no sleep? I don't mind creative exercises in general but this one is bad for you. Write a song a day? Totally. Learn a new riff a day? Yup. Play with some

If you're serious about music; performance or composition; you'll study with the most accomplished teacher you can find. They're working for peanuts during covid. Taking a challenge like this from a rando on the internet is a

If you want to write a song every day, fine. If you want to write a song and hack on it with your ensemble every day, even better! Those are awesome challenges! Forcing yourself to sit there and do post-production without taking a nap is n

One could claim pretty much anything about art. It's the category that defines itself by having no definition.

I'm on a well in the CO mountains. We have radon and high TDS. I installed a cheap carbon radon mitigator for the whole house and a Hague RO system for the kitchen. Tests went from scary to mostly zeroes. Water tastes amazing.

I've been a songwriter all my life and hate challenges like this. What's the point? To overcome writer's block? Art takes time and thought, and recording is taxing and difficult. These constraints will just force folks to r

Members of the choir do not make those choices. The conductor does. The singers are the instrument in that case. Like a pipe in an organ. Their job is to blend and produce the sounds according to the interpretation of the conductor. Source:

I'm not trying to leave the USA, but suggesting it's not fubar is a willful denial of reality. 'It could always be worse' is an agent of the status-quo. This place maybe the least-worst, but we can still strive for actua

I'm saying "civil" means not saying "armies of losers". More or less by definition. If you're not trying to build bridges with most people most of the time, what are you doing exactly? Again, my only point, i

I'm talking about addressing systemic issues in our culture (like calling any group we don't like by a bad name) that are definitely, provably, obviously, causing more of the bad behavior that we're trying to criticize. I liv

I know that the average clubgoerand radio listener assumes songs are produced entirely by the headline artist. From my life experience advocating for composers.

Yes. Brew is a crutch, and so network hungry. Nobody cares, but if you move to the mountains and want to do software development, a Mac will grind to a halt every so often for myriad reasons decided by someone at Apple, or just some dev acc

No argument there. Does she credit her songwriters? Is it well known that she doesn't write 100%? Or does that not matter to anyone because she's so awesome?

With these types of "manufactured" performance groups I don't think there's any question that they are not composers. The Lady Gaga case (she promotes herself as a composer / guitarist / pianist) is much more
