@sophiedennis have you seen this talk (slides) by @fullcreammilk? Lots of good #music → #web links, similar to your own but on a more technical level.

Just created a #buzz mix track with samples from our recent performances:
Turns out the closest instrument to the #gurdy trompette is not the snare drum as I previously thought, but the dot matrix printer (9:30 in):
For all his smugness and #gurdy misrepresentation, I’m actually really impressed with Howard Goodall’s conclusion to the Story of Music. In particular the closing segment, where he satisfyingly sums up the history of #music in about four sentences.
Most of the series was moderately interesting historical info, but concluding by linking the advent of the Play button to Bach’s notation style is quite profound.
Erin Richie thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a go! RE strange choice in music: try one of my favourite experimental #gurdy pieces out:
Buying a Hurdy Gurdy — Simon Wascher’s personal criteria for #gurdy buying. #bookmark #music
The #buzz gig went alright, considering we had major bagpipe tuning problems (chanter stuck a quarter-tone between F# and G). Thanks to everyone who came!
Now I’ve played Bach in front of a paying audience I feel like a real musician. Couldn’t have done it without Robin Andrews though :)
Wow, exporting my DB of tunes (for migration into the shiny new system) as #YAML almost results in valid #ABC!

@sophiedennis it’s at St Mary's Church, Totnes, 11:00 till 12:00 noon, tickets £5 on the door. It'd be great to see you (and @andycayenne?) there! #buzz #music
Playing Bach pieces with Robin Andrews of #buzz for our upcoming gigs (16th February and 3rd March). Some of his pieces work surprisingly well on the gurdy, against a drone!
Learning new trompette patterns with Gregory Jolivet, and decided to try to evolve a micro syntax for representing them in notes, so I can add some SVG or Audio-API magic afterwards.

Really looking forward to meeting up with all the #gurdy–playing friends I haven’t seen for a while this weekend at Halsway Manor!

Authentically Traditional by Robin Andrews is an interesting and welcome take on exactly what it means to be “authentic” in the context of #music /cc sophiedennis #bookmark #link
@briansuda @adactio turns out cgcardona already had the musical font idea, and started implementing it! https://audiofile.cc/#about
