Made a lil ‘carol’ esque piece on the Roland S1 synth for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge. Used the MIDI from the m8 to create the four voice polyphony, just a wee chill track for that in between Christmas n new year period. #carol #rolands1 #m8tracker #muwee

It bugged me that my Common Chords tool didn't give much indication as to how the chords actually lined up.

So, I added some colors and a letter of the greek alphabet.

Also totally rewrote it in React. This let me share code with the SeqGen tool.

I dreamed my wife and I were doing a word-search puzzle, but it was 3D. There were 5 clear plastic sheets with letter grids that you stacked. I'm the dream I had found the word "aloe" going down at an angle. We were devising a complex way to notate the letters as circled.

This week's slightly delayed challenge is #Carol! Did you know carols were a medieval genre, not originally associated w Christmas? Let's hear what your carol sounds like. Rock carol? Hanukkah carol? "I hope the holidays are over soon" carol? No lyrics required!
Post by Mon 29th and love on others.

Great to see traffic at its festive best.

Fiiiive F-bombs dropped!
Four fingers flying
Three blaring horns
Two scowling faces
And a screaming match in the parking lot.

prettiest thing I'd ever seen.

And I ain't into that rot.

So sorry: We're having tech issues. But here's this week's:

Cartoonishly #evil? Terrifically evil? Tyrannically evil? Whatever comes to mind is gold. From loud and fast to calm and menacing. Everything is cool as long as it screams...

I love it when people find "off-label" uses for the tools I create.
I composed it in April, which was a very hard month - so some tension got absorbed into it
but for all that I think it's an especially pretty piece.
The main motif - G Bb C A G Bb D Bb A G - was created using @tonaldrift.com 's "Cantus Firmus Generator".

A track on my newly released album has more emotional investment than any others.

Stages

First demo written 10 years ago after my late wife Sara was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Our souls process tragedy in stages - this track tries to depict that.
