  • It was you! Thank you so much! I sent you an email lol

    Re: the recording process, yeah you pretty much nailed it! I write the songs on guitar, sort of imagining a drum beat, then I make that beat in Hydrogen, record that into Ardour, then two rhythm guitar tracks for width, bass, lead, and vocals last.

    I’d love to play these live! Unfortunately, I don’t have a band. But if anyone wants to start a band with me, I’m totally down!


  • Hey thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! If you wanna buy a copy, there’s a Bandcamp link just under the profile picture (on the main profile page, rather than the album page).

    Yes, I am playing all the instruments! Except for drums, I used Hydrogen for that. I have a PreSonus interface, and I used Ardour for my DAW, with mostly LSP, Calf, and Ardour community plugins. The only two non-FOSS plugins I used were Graillon for some light auto tune and Acon Digital Multiply, which is basically just a chorus, both on the vocal tracks because I am not a good singer lol, but they’re both “free” as in “free beer”.

    Thanks for listening!









  • It’s not horrible, like it’ll do the job just fine, it’s just probably a better idea to use systemd and like, containers and whatnot, but I couldn’t be arsed to fiddle with all that for Jellyfin, caddy reverse proxy, and two modded Minecraft servers, so shell scripts and tmux won the day. It takes a little extra time to restart everything after an update, and maybe I’ll get the motivation to do things “correctly™” one day, but today is not that day.
