The Flashbulb - Drapes Before Storm (54m ambient piece)
$1,000 value on Bandcamp 😂 FLAC and artwork attached. Enjoy.
"Melody made on analog computer fed through tape loops and various delays. The song is meant to describe a an abandoned house on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota that I spent an entire morning and afternoon in for the photograph (now the song artwork)."
Personal Stuff/Some Video Update Delays
Without getting too detailed:
Last week I had a sudden/firearm-related death in my family, followed by a rapid decline of my grandfather's health.
My grandfather also has many ambitious music-related last wishes, which is both heart-warming and, erm, let's just say it's a weird errand list.
I've been actively juggling some of this stuff and working on channel-related stuff in the wee hours. I do enjoy the channel-related work, afterall! However there's an inevitable slowdown, ...

Obviously these aren't titles. Er, I hope they're not. 😅

The Nonprofit Journey Has Begun
As of today, I've officially filed the paperwork for the YouTube channel(s) and anything related to them to operate under an educational and scientific research nonprofit organization in the state of Georgia.
This includes a formal 501(c)3 application, meaning that, with a lot of luck, supporting the content will be tax deductible in the future for many of those reading this.
This will make any and everything transparent by law. It will also make me an employee who gets paid t...

2023-05-10 14:59:59 +0000 UTC View PostTracker Mini Mixtape
A few "beats" or "sketches" made on last month's road trip on various hotel couches, Mexican benches, and Waffle House booths on a very beta firmware of the Polyend Tracker Mini. I slammed the patterns through tape when I got home for some friendly distortion.
A video should be up soon on my channel with this music in front of a heap of abandoned scenery I recorded.
Main channel stream tonight!
Trying to gauge how much of a bump SimSelections would get if done on the main. It'll be removed and archived on http://youtube.com/@alphabasic with the others. Yee!

I realize that myself and my content are often a magnet for outlandish circumstances on social media, and I'm not exactly doing well at avoiding it while preserving my own personal standards regarding honesty and standing up for myself.
I'm trying very hard to write this post while balancing on a tight rope between being clear about what is going on while encouraging my supporters to not "take sides" or involve themselves. It's already embarrassing. I will not be naming names or group...
Weeklystream104: Sound Design For A Film You Might Be Scoring
[See previous post if you have no idea what I'm referring to below. 😅]
I've shot the scene to a film that doesn't exist, I've secured the giveaways, and now it needs sound design, so at 6:30 ET tomorrow, that's what we'll do!
The scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tg__qqvCiU

I hope everyone's 2023 has been a hoot so far. I've been keeping so busy that I can hardly believe how many things I'm juggling at any given moment, which is good.
I actually have a project board of video ideas, and I figured I'd see how they tracked here. Some are already in preproduction and have lots spent on them, others are foggy ideas. Vote for the ones you'd be most excited to watch!
Edit: Obvious typo in the echolocation one.
Also, the UFC Fighter one actually feature...

November Sim Selections Bass Riff
An optional challenge for November's Sim Selections:
Take this 120bpm bass riff and interpret it melodically however you wish. The only notes being emphasized are E and B, and it'll work with just about any note if presented correctly.
Due to this being a more specific challenge than usual, I won't be DJing this time, but playing the music back and sharing thoughts!

Theme: Ancient Gods

Optional Challenge: Describe a being with sound/music whom would otherwise be indescribable by words.
