@gallaimage agree, tho there is always a context for your work, even if it is unspoken. This is sometimes in your control, but not always. The context isn't "in" the work but is both inherent to it - as in, the context from which you created it, as well as outside of it - as in the context it is received physically, and the mental context of your audience. Totally agree tho that wordy explanations of a work usually take away from rather than add to.

So, http://DISCMASTER.TEXTFILES.COM may be shut down at the end of the month, just due to the cost of running and maintaining it. I'm mentioning this just because I'd like to encourage people to use it extensively while next stage planning is looked into, so the maximum value is enjoyed.
I've had to refer to @bd's music theory page almost every day this week, really really thankful for this knowledge base. 🎼

Shhhh. Let people enjoy things. I am all for being socially conscious but we can't boycott everything. We are so tired. Please go outside.

And, I have learned, if I do not take up space in the places I fear I am not enough, there will be no space for me at all."

PSA: If you use Digitakt and/or Digitone, you can try out overwitch for Overbridge support via Jack! Works perfectly fine for me and now I can record 8 + 4 tracks at once from my DT and DN.
