New (free) sample pack: MicroFreak percussion

I recorded these before we moved, but just now got around to zipping them up & posting them.

20 drum/percussion sounds made with the Arturia MicroFreak. Released under the Anti-Capitalist Soundware License.

@lain Indeed. I share your hope.

I see some musicians going all "Metallica vs. Napster" about the Anna's Archive thing, and I feel the need to remind folks that corporations and the music industry have done more to ruin things for us than piracy ever could.

Proposing an Anti-Capitalist Soundware License

Based heavily on the Anti-Capitalist Software License, maintained by @nasser & @everest . This is far outside my expertise, so I'm looking for feedback & suggestions (feel free to DM if you prefer that). My initial modification and more info here:

Boosts appreciated!

It's Bandcamp Friday! Support is greatly appreciated if you can afford it. If not, feel free to check out the Faircamp link in my bio, where everything is PWYW.

@botvolution no advice, only sympathy.

I think I found the album that inspired John Mastodon to call posts by the term we use here.

@prettygood yep, we're aware, but thanks for the concern. This was taken like feet from our fence, not that stuff can't happen anywhere, but we're careful. Even with the fence, we keep him inside when we know they're that close.

Btw, Fair Trade Music doesn't only benefit artists. People talk a lot about how streaming services (and Spotify in particular) screw artists monetarily, but something else that doesn't seem to get talked about as much is that they also collect and sell user data. Youtube Music seems to be the worst offender here, but they aren't alone.

@screwtape I think (at least for most cases, and assuming there's still an equivalent 4.0 version*) you can just upgrade it. I don't see anything that would make it incompatible with AGPLv3+, but I'm not expert enough in the relevant areas to say that 100%.

* For example, there's no 4.0 equivalent to the older Sampling+ license for music.

@brhfl

@screwtape thanks for the ongoing support!

@screwtape In case either @lardmotel or @stokesauce haven't submitted because they're worried that they won't belong, I'm pretty sure most of us bonkwavers are doing this because that's how we felt pretty much everywhere else. I could be wrong, but the whole thing did arise from a joke about being unsure what specific sub-genre your music might be.

2-year anniversary update to my #introduction

Here to share #sounds, #music, #glitch art, and various #audio nerdery. Into #synthesizers, #guitar, and #noise, among other things.

I boost a lot of stuff, mostly music, art, & nerd stuff. Deleted my other account because spoons are in short supply these days. You can find schematics, sample packs, and other audio/music-related stuff on my website:

@screwtape I seem to have misplaced mine as well, but I gather from @keefmarshall 's recent writeup that things are in the works. :)

@CCirco a fine choice, imo.

My Faircamp site has been updated to the latest version (1.0). This also fixes some issues that were present in my last build (which, to be clear, were due to mistakes on my end, not problems with Faircamp).

As always, monetary support is very much appreciated, but not required.

@benda In total agreement with what you're saying there. I know it can be tough to get people together for various reasons, but I would love to see (and take part in) this kind of co-op action.

@keefmarshall @elsemusic @socool @controlfreak

I posted my thoughts on the Tascam DR-40X portable recorder after owning one for a couple of years.

tl;dr: It does the thing. I have no regrets, but the preamps are a little noisy, so if you intend to use other mics a lot, probably consider something else.

Mastodon isn't perfect, but one of the first things I saw here today was some musicians talking about helping each other with promotion, and that's the kind of thing that makes me think I'm in the right place.

Community, not competition. I often suck at being part of things, but fuck competition.
