don't learn about scales!! they are a gateway drug to improvised enharmonic modulation 😱

this just in: the C major scale is finally getting updated!! changes in v2.0:

• removed 6th degree. affected users recommended to modulate to another key
• changed 7th degree to conform to EU definition of B (old version available as H)
• sharpened 2nd, 3rd and 4th degrees

trying to make music is making me relate a bit to generative ai models, the ones that “hallucinate”. if i pick some kind of genre, i can imagine and hear in my head a whole song, which i've probably never heard before, and i cannot tell you what memories it was synthesised from

“BLÅHAJ wa neko de aru” – natsume sōseki

the roland t-something something-zero-something is an electronic synthesiser/sequencer released in 1980-something. it was enormously influential, defining the sound of multiple genres and has inspired many clones. it was a commercial failure, selling only something-thousand units

64kbps mp3 sounds way better than i thought it would??? so long as there's no cymbals it actually sounds fine???

they should make a computer with individually-addressable nibbles

as an art appreciator i think non-irrecoverably damaging a unique original physical artwork as a political protest about its subject can be respectable sometimes. you know, the damage adds to the work and becomes an inescapable part of its history

thank you to the person who noticed my web server's tls certificate expired, within half an hour of it happening, and told me!

an exciting personal report from the world of "e-identification" (sweden)

in sweden, life revolves around the "mobile bankid". this is a service owned by major swedish banks that provides a smartphone app equivalent to a state id card, but which can be used to log into websites
