I had a dream last night that I made #FairCamp make me a squash with an embedded mp3. It could only hold one song though.

Apropos of #BlackHistoryMonth, I present a song I wrote in commentary on the burden of the oppressed to fashion beauty from the void.

March 3rd Fadimat105 is on air at Radio Fro. Topic: "Music from the Faircamp's #3" with guest Simon Repp (Faircamp). Dear Faircampers, feel free to send me downloadlinks from your music on #faircamp. Deadline is Feb 28 evening CET. #radio @freebliss Info: https://dorninger.servus.at/radio-fadimat105

For everyone who manually builds and uses #faircamp from the git repository (main branch), an important notice regarding 2.0 development:

"Heads-up: From late february to late summer 2026 (tbd) there will be heavy work and restructuring happening on the main branch. Please expect bugs and undefined behavior when building and using faircamp from main in that period. Until announcement of the first 2.0 release candidates it is also not recommended to report bugs observed on main alone - breakage is likely intentional and/or known for the time being."

I drink a lot less coffee these days, but it was a true statement in 2022 when I first recorded the bass part.

(Today my BP was 102/75 after 3.5 cups of coffee. I did have another cup to celebrate.)

Anyway, added to my #FairCamp

Another #faircamp 2.0 feature update: "Publishing source audio as-is (without transcoding)" is definitely coming! \(^ヮ^)/

I already expected this to get tricky, but the final ~20 hours tally (plus probably some 5-10 more hours coming in the longer aftermath) still caught me off guard. 8) Either way I think this is well invested, super useful option and I'm happy to have it in.

The final implementation even allows for two variants: Using the source files verbatim (without any processing at all) or using the original audio stream while rewriting the tags (which is a processing step, but finishes pretty much instantly, it only copies the audio stream payload).

And with this I think I'm finally moving on to get all of this architectural work commited, and then move on to sketching out the first graphical user interface bits. ʕ◜0ᴥ0ʔ (ok the launcher is actually already sketched out hehe)

Cropped screenshot: Text editor showing a faircamp release manifest, terminal showing processing output from faircamp. Inside the manifest one of the magic new lines is "streaming_quality: original". In the processing output something new is: "[AUDIO PROCESSING] "AOEO/1 Find The Stranger In The City.mp3" (Original, Custom tag mapping)"

Today is the 1st anniversary of :CTRL: #CTRL: my 3rd #ElectronicMusic #album soundtracking the Cyber Threat Resistance League and their fight against the :Bugs: Bugs to save :Delgado: Delgado, :Rocky: Rocky, and reality itself from digital doomsday!

The CTRL (Cyber Threat Resistance League) album cover art.

It's a very busy and colourful artwork featuring seven anthropomorphic cartoon animal characters from MOULE WORLD:

1. Melody: A skunk wearing magenta headphones and hoodie to the front left of the artwork, smiling confidently while holding a phone horizontally at the front of the artwork displaying the album's title.

2: Mei: A panda with pink hoodie to the right of the artwork, holding a wrench and punching a winged Bug. Below her is a chat box revealing dismayed bots unable to troll her.

3. Cockburn (pronounced "co-burn"), a yellow bear wearing purple hoodie and earphones, in the centre-right of the artwork, surrounded by ads and pop-ups demanding cookie placement, algorithmic engagement, investing in a cryptocurrency called "Delcoin", etc. He holds his hand up to some that are blocked.

4. Robin, a fox with yellow t-shirt wearing his Visionaria AR glasses, next to Cockburn blocking ads with his "IRL adblock"

5. Oskar, a squirrel wearing a red and yellow t-shirt, with a metallic side of his face with bionic eye, releasing Lampy, an Al firefly, into the Labyrinth, a rogue blockchain network that CTRL have been tracing Delcoin transactions to find Delgado.

6. Delgado, a bull wearing blue plaid shirt trapped behind blue bars.

7. Rocky, a photographer and urbexing raccoon with green hoodie, live-streaming himself confronting The Singularity.

(2/2) #Bandcamp alternatives that are either not open at all yet, have no proper payment system or didn't fit in the previous post:

#Tone https://tone.audio
#Faircamp https://simonrepp.com/faircamp
https://sonica.music

We also updated https://slugmilk.org to point to our first real website, instead of a #linktree.

It's a static site authored in #markdown and generated by #Hugo.

Eventually we will integrate our 27-albums-to-date in a #Faircamp page.

Today my latest #faircamp 2.0 build rendered some first faircamp sites whose homepages were _not_ the default catalog homepage, but 1) an artist page, 2) a release page, 3) a track page :unwanted_happy: Yesssss.

New #Faircamp Release: "Procyon Sunrise"

Gear: ASM Hydrasynth Desktop; Critter & Guitari Organelle M; Roland MV-1; Arturia Keystep 37.

I started the first base rewrite for #faircamp 2.0 about a month ago. Today, after 120 hours (across 20 work days), faircamp compiled again for the first time. ⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ That now leaves about 160 hours budgeted exclusively for the architectural changes – from a planning perspective this looks very good so far, yay!

The even larger part (over 400 hours of desktop application and graphical interface development) is still ahead, and will be done in parallel with the remaining architectural work, to ensure the revised data model works both from a text-based and a graphical interface perspective (these aren't easy to reconcile, especially in specific areas like settings inheritance ... this has become kind of my nemesis x))).

Fun fact: Asides certain omissions in functionality (which are on me), the first build after 20 days of rewriting (= turning half of the internals into speculative code prose, completely devoid of semantic coherence, and then putting it back together) worked ... just fine (no crash, no nothing, output as expected). I never cease to be amazed by Rust. (*_ _)人

I have released the latest volume in the Broke and Dirt sample, loop, sound asset series!

https://music.control.org/brokeanddirt004/

This is less "hit factory" and more abandoned factory. Slap on your steel toes and mask and come on in. Over 100 one-shots and loops from found sound, field recordings, bad mics on the drum kit with lots of drag, some synths, and much more of dirty, nasty building blocks run thru the broken VHS deck. Ready to use or to further chop, glitch and mangle. Bound to be something you can layer in to joyfully #endirtify your proceedings.

My favourite in terms of what the sound was built from is AmbientWarning01. Definitely can hear that in a game or horror/dystopia soundtrack. To that end, if you want more of something, less of something, alterations, or custom sound assets for your game, video, project, please reach out. I'd love to collab and I am available for donate what you can #commissions.

Usually new releases go out via code for supporters first but let's have a go with donate what you can if you can straight away for this one. Just tick paid and have at it if you have no coin.

All CC-BY. Get to glitching team. Stomp in solidarity!

Another early #faircamp 2.0 teaser: I'm currently redesigning/rewriting the Podcast/RSS/Atom feed system and I'm now pretty confident that 2.0 will bring "everything is subscribe-able" functionality (opt-in of course).

I.e. you can then let people subscribe to a release (which could be e.g. an album, or a podcast), to an artist (probably a "flattened" feed where each item is a track, i.e. all tracks by the artist across all albums, singles, podcasts, ...), or to the whole site itself (which in 2.0 might also be a podcast or an album or an artist in itself - more on that at a later point :)).

@escuco cool! You're also welcome to listen and download any of my music on my #Faircamp page for free, since I don't try to make money from my music at this point. Instead of paying money, just let me know what you think about it. :)

Spent sometime this morning listening to music by @yonder
The Honk Tapes: https://reverb10000.com/the-honk-tapes/ and Susurraphonics https://reverb10000.com/susurraphonics/

Really enjoyed both. Very relaxing for a Sunday morning. Is it too late to recommend them for #fairtrademusicfriday ? Another great #Faircamp site.

Shameless Promotion for ourselves:
Last friday we released our new song "Mer de Glace"! We are sooo proud, take a listen!
