Humans treat those close to them (family / understanding friends) with less respect than those more distant for two reasons:
1. It is understood that the former will get over it regardless.
2. Humans are in general too concerned about what the latter think of them.

The formerly twtxt feed is now taken wholly from Nostr - specifically my relay at nostr.thurk.org. I've yet to implement search. I must decide if I want to use a cached version or just fetch the feed anew each time. For a keyword search, this appears to be the only way.

I eschewed much of the modulation I keyed in to Supercollider yesterday for some simple randomization of the filter cutoff & wave shape given a triangle wave on Mullah. I found a good fog hornish sound emitted by fiddling with the dry/wet control of the hall reverb. So the intro of A Cubic Lightyear of Meat is slowly fleshed out.

Drone 9 was plagued with the aforementioned and dreaded HISS, or high NOISE FLOOR. Where it is coming from exactly, I still don't know, but I suspect the compressor and Wampler.

I've finished the drafts of all guitar parts in I'm the One Flying except for the choruses. I'll get to those later. It sounds pretty spectacular. If #Renata gives approval, I'll rerecord everything so that the guitar is more 'uniform' throughout. #music

Christian's vox are within the Vlcí construct now. Nothing more can be done. His idea of gradually increasing reverb at the end was a good one. #PodélSměrů #music

I remixed Chris's vox on Pagan Park - Seminole, Texas (Dusk). I also added what I'd termed as a 'splash' immediately before it. I LIKE it. During the meandering second half (which I am immensely satisfied with), his footsteps also meander. I like the placement somewhat, but I'll have to relisten a number of times to know if their disappearance during the midst of the meandrance is apt or not... #music #PaganPark

The seventh drone (Hup Jaum Sequmiz) was a noisy affair, consisting of the Kastle Drum creating arbitrary bursts of static and 'beats' into the Infinity Looper 2. I haven't listened to it yet, though I did post it on Funkwhale (after checking for HISSSSSS, of course). Perhaps it'll be tonight's lullaby. #music #drone

Integrating Kris's TWO bass parts into John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks was entertaining. The frequency ranges are going to make me have to redo at least the first organ part. I'll redo both, actually, with a bit more tweaking of the RESONANCE and possibly also use the Quasar. #PodélSměrů #music
