  An interesting moment while improvising with guitarist Daniel Rogerson in the early hours. (I knew him as a kid. Now he’s Olivia Dean’s guitarist lol.)

  A friend is trying to persuade me to play live again, but a kind of "quiet music" concert - with volumes low enough to be manageable to someone with hyperacusis. The music I am making now is very cloudy; spectral, oblique and uncanny [an opposite zone to most recent releases] and would be suitable - but I don't get out much these days...how much interest would there be in very quiet dissonant music? :D Such is my ballooning ignorance that Cafe OTO is all that comes to mind.

  The next material will be sounding quite different. 🙏

  It’s Bandcamp Friday, and I can’t help but mention my latest release, ‘Otherscapes’ again - an 11-hour collection of previously unreleased works. I was a little sheepish about talking about this (or any aspect of it) before, given the length and all, but apart from the opening twelve tracks or so - which were intended as a broad survey, jolting between different styles to set the parameter space, if you like - the rest then settles into a flow, and was carefully sequenced for that kind of exten...

  Hello, goat! 🇭🇺

  It is release day! 🥳 I decided to try a listening party for 'Otherscapes: Unreleased Works 2006- 2026'. The release is very long, and Bandcamp doesn’t let you stop it early - but it might be fun to chat for an hour or so? :) Many thanks to @HAPPENINGHOTDOG@universeodon.com again for his artwork. 🙏 It begins at 7pm UK time. https://robertloganmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/otherscapes-unreleased-works-2006-2026-listening-party

  Thank you so much to anyone who contributed to this. 🙏 I was able to tell those family members that a bit of help came through from this strange little place called Mastodon. ☺️ Sharing some of those other reasons behind this release did feel a bit awkward, and I debated not doing it. However, some friends off of here already know the situation, and it seems this place would read it charitably. (haven’t really shared the release anywhere else yet - apart from the message that went out with Bandc...

  I can’t tell if the heatstroke has made the improvising worse or the same.

  Takeoff. 🇭🇺 (I hope the village lake frogs will be singing!)

  @elifyalvac @Maes_Matt @sean_ae @ghostmeet The village lake frogs are already not disappointing on the first day with their microtonal singsong. ☺️ (I love crickets, and they’re totally entitled to their calls too, but after a while I was feeling a bit “okay mate, give it a rest now.” :D )

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @MachineGrrrl@ravenation.club @Maes_Matt@toot.community @defaultmediatransmitter@social.bitwig.community “deranged funk” was how I used to try and sell ‘Draft 7.30’ to people at school. My evangelism was not so successful in those days, despite the enthusiasm. I hope you’re not offended; I wouldn’t call it that now. :D

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @MachineGrrrl@ravenation.club @Maes_Matt@toot.community @defaultmediatransmitter@social.bitwig.community yeah, that was probably the sense! At the time “heavy” metal (including “nu” metal) were doing the rounds, which seemed the least uncontrolled music possible, so was probably trying to push that angle. Weird to think that there was a day where that’s what everyone found to be close to the edge.

  @HAPPENINGHOTDOG@universeodon.com I imagine so, given how nicely the first two tracks connect. 🙏

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @oscillik@mstdn.social @elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org @Rushup_Dee@mastodon.social :D Isn't the Game Boy Advance a kind of perfect example - technically a 32-bit system with its 16 bit game flavours? (Might be misremembering that though.)

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org @Rushup_Dee@mastodon.social I'm genuinely really glad you prefer the original; I do too - feels more personal and dynamic. But it is fun to go mainframe and turbocharged once in a while. :D [sorry again for turning this thread towards my current 16-bit pop experiments 😄 ]

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org @Rushup_Dee@mastodon.social On '16 Bits of Heaven' I wasn't into drums and it was really quite true to the chips on the whole / not "loud" - have wanted to do a souped-up more hyped drummier version for a while (though am happy with the original for what it is.) :) Thank you. 🙏

  Audio recording involves an ontological flattening of its source material.

  My uncle works for Warp records, and told me the new BoC is mainly banjo and mandolin jams. The preview tracks and artwork are just to throw us / make it more of a special surprise. You heard it here first.

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @sfn@mastodon.world I should have called ‘Geometry of Birds’ ‘Bird Counterpoint’ instead. (I’m sorry to get cringingly self-referential. But honestly it’s more that ‘Bird Counterpoint’ is such a lame-looking track name that it was making me lol out loud. :D )

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @sfn@mastodon.world :D Weirdly just yesterday I was watching his recent concert (I have no idea why) - and...the stage he stands on! 😬 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGhKU1ToifQ&list=RDSGhKU1ToifQ&start_radio=1 My last memory of him before this was a clip where he said "I am God."

  @sean_ae@post.lurk.org @sfn@mastodon.world this is wonderful, Sean! No paid Indulgences, no mediation - only sheer regeneration, source to tweet. Thank you for the good news. 🙏

  I'd prefer to ask the community this than search haphazardly - what is some good (ideally freeware) software to capture your computer's screen and audio? Embarrassingly I've somehow never done this until now. But just in case there's any interest out there, I'd like to share what's going on with released music / the software side of my work sometimes, and not just piano improvisations. :-)
