Remember those games that you started long ago and somehow never finished? And for some reason decided to give them another spin, starting at #FirstLevel ? As part of this week's @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge, my game was the Korg Gadget for Switch moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/tried-...

Mid-work had to resolve a hiccup in the audio setup, and tested it by firing up some album. Now work is on hiatus, as I need to listen to Jack DeJohnette: Works.

Musicians, get involved! A chance to be involved in music making in a super supportive community. WIP, trying things out, seeing what you can come up with in a week is a joy (I need to post more wips 😅 as I rarely ‘finish’ a track these days!)

This new @musicweeklies.bsky.social looks great #FirstLevel. What's your inspiration? PacMan or Space Invaders? Hack? Or the opening/tutorial of a huge modern game? Or no VGM at all?

Recording piano parts in Flat Four Harmonic to slice for an abstract hiphop track that goes onto an ambient techno album. #ambient #hiphop #atlas.

You’re lying there in bed, feeling really cosy… but there’s this... thing in your head, you’re not quite sure what it is, but it’s really annoying and it’s got no business being there right now. Made for @musicweeklies.bsky.social (theme Out of Place)

Some youtube video claimed cats purr at 25Hz. Which would be around G. Now Dr. Emmy Noether did not know this, and prefers to purr Dorian. I like Dorian. I like Emmy.

"18 years ago". Reyn Ouewehand's performance of "Green Beret" produly stood the test of time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8UB...

Yesterday, #maxialbum saw its double vinyl release. Which closes the project. Of which I'm hugely proud. moinlabs.de/words/max-on...

For @musicweeklies.bsky.social #backback, here's "A dawless Hike". moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/a-dawl...

Yesterday, I went to some pressing plant and picked up a few boxes...yes, the vinyl version is here! #maxialbum

This is fun: once respectable newspaper FAZ interviews Deutsche Bank's chief investment strategist on what to do. Llokjng at this banks performance, it might be advisable to do the opposite www.faz.net/aktuell/fina...

More than 20 years after it was made, the knobs on my OG Waldorf Q had literally turned to dust. Fortunately, in an age of 3D printing, the new version looks much cooler! Thanks, Rolando, for the prints!

Pressing plant announced assembly for 2-23 - which is next Monday. Which means on Tuesday I'll pick up the #maxialbum double vinyl in Augsburg.

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Death and Bass". I thought this up not having read the challenge (but after it had been started, so it's ok?), while thinking about a technical death metal album. D 'n' B production approach. Death metal sounds. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/death-...

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Is there one? (One)". Is there a "one". Answer: at least not without the limits of this track. Or there's a lot of them - you choose! moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/is-the...

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Where is it? (One)" is what happens if you just play piano. Or, more accurately, I do it. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/where-...

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Metermaß" is a tumbao inspired by Bavarian folk music. There's also a guitar with changing delay, and a fake EDM drumbeat that changes its mind midway. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/meterma

For many of you, this might just be part of another day in the office, but I'm currently excited and happy as a small child. #maxialbum

For those that wonder what I'm doing here, reallly...I mostly joined because @musicweeklies.bsky.social is here. So I haven't done anything except for responding to their challenges so far. This might change. Or not.

...and: done! Here's my contribution for @musicweeklies.bsky.social #minimal aptly titled "Nicht. Zu. Viel." moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/nicht-...

Just completed my @musicweeklies.bsky.social #minimal contribution - there's stil time until Monday (Feb 2nd) though!

Hehe, with that new challenge, I could do what I did last week over again ;)

So what's my #obsession @musicweeklies.bsky.social asks? "Gratuitous Complexity" I'd say. Like having polymetric/polyrhythmic/polytonal stuff, analogue processors and whatnot for no good (artistic) reason. Enjoy! moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/gratui...

A Schneemaß, anyone? My choice for #snowyday moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/schneema @musicweeklies.bsky.social

Let's say you'd like to do a double vinyl record with printed innersleeves etc., and you're talking to two suppliers for the physical (master, duplication, printed matter etc.). Which one would you pick - the one that seems more mature in printed stuff - or the one that does DMM?

It's been a long time since I did something for MuWee. Acoustic piano, a new tubular bell thingie I got, and generally acoustic recordings and hardware/analogue workflow. And a hint at blues even. Happy New Year, everyone! #tunefor25 moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/sparse...
