Here’s a prelim rough mix of my bizarre 3-chord rockabilly protest 12-bar thing, “March Like Hell.” Gretsch 5422 was used for the 3 rhythm tracks, bass was Fender p-bass and banjo solo is a Gold Tone Cripple Creek 6-String Banjitar (same tuning as guitar). Drums are MT Power Drum Kit free plugin. Basic A-D-E chord fingering repeat progression with everything capo’d at the 3rd fret. Used slap delay on the Gretsch and 15ms delay on the banjo. Pedals on the Gretsch were Keeley compressor, TC Flashback delay and MXR Timmy for some very mild overdrive. 160bpm, 1:50 song length. Tracked some subtle chorus backing vocals tonight. Gotta listen tomorrow and see how it sounds before adding to the mix. #guitar #music #recording #banjo #gearsquad #songwriting #bass #mentalhealth

Since it is Easter...

Tradition says Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus exit the tomb.

Mary Magdalene's history was diminished & contorted by the church to serve its policies of male dominance & subjugation of women. What can an artist do but retaliate with art? In this case, I wrote a fast frailach in her honor.

I explain her story:

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - it's all about the #music!

This time there is even pure flute music inside, just take a look at the genres we'll cover:

- shape shifting, dreamy, and experimental
#PopMusic
- brand-new authentic 90's
#DnB
- club smashing
#Bass
- Distorted
#Tekkno
-
#experimental stuff
- (like the mentioned
#flute music which doesn't have to be "comfortable", just because it's made using a single flute… just sayin')
-
#Punk for gardeners
-
#shoegaze #grunge

There is
#CreativeCommons licensed music in it, and of course there are #FediArtists featured, like @wroong@s.basspistol.org (well — ok, this time just him, as far as I am aware).

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

#fediMusicians

Might be a good time for an #introduction!

I'm #autistic and #ADHD. I'm a cis male, but I go by they/them pronouns because pronouns are cool and I support the cause! And, well, manly culture kinda sucks, anyway. I'm #demisexual.

I work in tech, which is meh, but I apply those skills for #FOSS work and #cat volunteering in my free time. I have a cat, and I currently house a cat family of 3.

I enjoy #anime and #manga, and enjoy good literary analysis. Writing #MHA "fix-it" fic, currently enjoying #kagurabachi.

I enjoy games! I'm big on #PathOfExile, #LastEpoch and #Warframe. Really need to finish my #persona3 playthrough, though...

I own a #bass, but it currently collects dust as I'm dealing with stuff. I like #coffee and #beer.

Continued thread

In case you are wondering, I am playing #bass on this, with my 1992 Fender Jazz Bass Plus V Ash, through my 1990s Trace Elliot Series 6 AH200 head, with probably Trace Elliot roundwound strings, as that was what I normally used in those days. Setup on my bass by Bluebond Guitars in Philadelphia. I don't remember the cabinet, as it was one that the studio provided, Churchbox Studio, Columbia, PA, engineered by Ken Heitmuller and Jay Sorrentino (both of the band, "Suddenly, Tammy!). RIP, Jay.

"Let Me Be There" is a popular song written by #JohnRostill. It was first recorded by #OliviaNewtonJohn and released in September 1973 as the second single from her studio album of the same name. The country-influenced song was Newton-John's first Top 10 single in the US, peaking at No. 6, and also won her a #GrammyAward for #BestFemaleCountryVocalist. #MikeSammes sings a #bass vocal harmony on the song.
