Must one play Bach's WTC with piano or harpsichord? (One of features of baroque music is that one usually can use any instrument.) Well, piano's sound is quite mellow. But BWV 847/1 Prelude No. 2 in C minor with harpsichord... is just cool. It SHREDS.

I have plaid music for over 20 years, but I have never been good at staff line stuff. This will be some coding fun. Jingle on piezo buzzer 🙂

I hope to compose some prog rock in the near future... If not ba-rock, ha-ha. But I am quite alone, I have no band for now. We'll see.

BWV #795 - Sinfonia No.9 F-moll of J.S. Bach - is incredibly chromatic. I don't think it is to be played for a broad circle of listeners in its time - but it sounds incredibly modern. When you learn these rules of counterpoint and have this... It's totally amazing.

It took some time, but finally my first album is available at Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/3jhmex...
Or check kasia-ea.github.io for MP3s. I mean, $4 per 1000 streams? That works for popular musicians, but not numerous little ones.

And why is it important to preserve 78s? According to audio archivist George Blood, "To remember half of recorded history, it is important to preserve 78rpm discs."

Retroarch is intuitive with a gamepad, but so counterintuitive with a keyboard! You can't know back button for Backspace in the emulator, Esc doesn't call emulator menu, but quits it at all!
Retroarch shows what to press for OK and Cancel on a gamepad, why can't there be a keyboard tip as well?

Now I've met some real abstraction layer bullshit.
Front app downloads 80 MB of data from backend in order to serve the user 800 KB compressed file (2 MB uncompressed).
We were told these libraries could make development faster, but for that price?
AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER WEBSITES MAY BE THE SAME D:

I wish it weren't so true! But hey, I met cool youngsters who know the old tech that deep so they can give me a lesson or two! I am totally glad when younger people know the tech deeper than me :)

So PSX emulation has no issues on GPD Win, whereas 3DO emulation has issues. WELP. Not that it's unheard of with a bit more obscure systems.

Or in an icy river freeze,

Come, hasten to our company!
— And now come closer, everyone —
Tonight we’re celebrating Dziady!
