Here's one of the calmest tracks I've ever made 🎶

I’m on an unplanned break from Mastodon and social media in general. But I’m sometimes thinking of starting again. As you can guess from this post 🙂

Looks like I'm working on a second album. So far I have only a draft and it might take a lot of time to finalise it, but it's a start.

I'm fascinated by auto sampling. I'm amazed that it's possible to send MIDI or CV to a sound module, record the audio and automatically transform it into a standalone sampled instrument.

My country 🇵🇱 is restricting abortion laws, a decision I oppose. People from the music industry worldwide, including
Anne-Marie, Zara Larsson, and others, are already bringing attention to this issue. More context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Polish_protests #StrajkKobiet

I'm part of Ambient Compilation Project. It's an album with ambient tracks from different musicians and you can listen to it here: https://communitymodularelectronic.bandcamp.com/album/ambient-compilation-project-cme-010 #mastomusic #ambientmusic #bandcamp

So many apps and web pages feature ads, tracking, annoying UI or similar. I’m happy we have user friendly places like #Mastodon .

I’m experimenting with audio only live streaming on Twitch and I’m enjoying it a lot. Here’s the most recent session, uploaded to youtube with a little bit of mastering and a weird ffmpeg audio visualisation.

I've got a lot of unreleased audio and I'd like to prepare an EP out of it. I just can't get started on this because I prefer making more tracks 🙃 #mastomusic

I now kind of want to try making a music discovery website, especially one that targets beginner artists.

I realised that by “using social media as an artist” I mean mostly “artist self promotion”. I wish there was a way to make this fun; not efficient / easy / fast / etc, just fun.

I don't really know how to use social media as an artist. I'm also an introvert with the charisma of a confused herring. Are there any ways to make social media more fun? #mastomusic #socialmedia

In the meantime, throwback to one of my favourite past recordings: https://merelysounds.bandcamp.com/track/track-200125 #eurorack #ambientmusic #mastomusic

I'm still alive and well and I keep recording sounds. Maybe I'm more busy than usual. In any case I should find time to publish some of my recordings here. I hope I'll be able to do this #soon .
