And as webrings are seeing a little comeback, there’s also one for faircamp sites: webring.key13.uk/
One related news, another interesting indie music publishing platform has appeared: jam.coop, I’m definitely keeping an eye on this one as well.
New album from Tehn
Interesting to see somebody like Brian (of monome), who has been working so much with code over the years, make an album revolving around synth arpeggios played by hand. This is very much down my alley, I’m experimenting a lot with this lately.
And now for something completely different:
Interesting article on CDM on why the “high” and “low” descriptors for pitch are not as usual as we might think:
The indigenous Kreung people of northern Cambodia use “tight” and “loose.” In Southern Liberia, registers of voices are named after low- and high-pitched birds. China has a litany of descriptors: H – qing 清 (“clear”); ruo 弱 (“weak”); qing 輕 (“light”); duan 短 (“short”); “child’s sound”; zhuo 濁 (“muddy”); qiang 強 (“strong”); zhong 重 (“heavy”); chang 長 (“long”); “adult’s sound”.
