“More music is being released today (in a single day) than was released in the calendar year of 1989,” Page explained.
“More of that music is being done by artists themselves, meaning there’s even more demand for music production software.”
It’s true,
the rise in musicians goes hand-in-hand with the rise of music-making software and music-distributing platforms.

Our local castle and park is illumated for some weeks in a special way, creating the "illuminated paths of dreams". We walked them this evening and got to listen to the wonderful music of Thomas J Curran https://youtu.be/ZsrIdq8LJ90
FWIW, when people go on about “sportsball”, to me that sounds snotty and condescending and, well, a bit rude: “I ostentatiously don’t care about a thing you do and wish it didn’t exist.”
Not saying you’re not within your rights to feel that and say that. I have exactly those feelings about certain forms of music and religion and politics.
Just be aware that sometimes it doesn’t land well.

Re this post from @…:
It •is• overwhelming, and none of us can or should take on all the pain of the world. We can’t carry all that weight ourselves; we can’t fix it by carrying it.
It is essential that we all continue to make music, cook tasty food, post cat videos, do the daily mundane things, nerd out, laugh with the people close to us, all that.
We just need to hold space to remember that there is suffering in the world too. We do not turn away; we live in defiance of it.

German videos – titled Balaclava Kitchen – started in 2014 and ran for months before YouTube took down the channel for violating its guidelines.
But it offered a glimpse of how far-right groups have seized on cultural production – from clothing brands to top 40 music – to normalise their ideas,
in a process that researchers say has hit new heights in the age of social media.

Reading Berys Gauts essay «The Philosophy of Creativity" (2010) while listening to Gangstagrass — a music collective that combines, well, blugrass with rap... Wondering whether this music is an example of combinatorial creativity or transformational creativity (ref. Boden) or something else entirely.
Did they discover this musical mashup, or did them bring it into existence from nothing?
More and more I find myself in disagreement with the emphasis on the *product* of creati…
In other news: I successfully ripped my CD collection and put them on a USB stick so I can finally use them in my car. I don't have that many yet, it was only about 20 discs.
There is a strange feeling of properness when you're listening to music that you physically own. Even more so if you know that the signal you're hearing was actually physically read off the disc in your room.
Buy used CDs guys. They're cheap. It's fun.
In Concert with Paolo Pietropaolo
The 'best of the best' live classical music - that's the heart and soul of In Concert. Gorgeous chamber works, the world's finest orchestras, and intimate recitals featuring some of Canada's best young musicians on the brink of stardom. You'll hear a carefully curated blend of classical hits along with brand new discoveries presented with passion and rare insight by Paolo Pietropaolo.
"regardless of the underlying technology, the pursuit of artificial general intelligence is not necessarily the most efficient route to useful applications. Artificial specific intelligence (AI approaches focused on a specific domain, such as the Nobel prize-winning, protein-folding algorithm, AlphaFold2) gives more reliable and transparent results by combining the subtle pattern detection at which GenAI excels with explicitly encoded, domain-specific knowledge."
Feeling very relaxed. Scrolling Mastodon while listening to Christie Moore. The back door is open and cool air is wafting in. I'm sipping a glass of icy cold pink Moscato. Nice.

Amram is a composer, musician, author, conductor and boundlessly connected collaborator who has been cheerfully ignoring musical categories since the 1940s.
His output includes jazz tunes, symphonies, operas, film scores, theater music, off-the-cuff talking blues and idiom-hopping folk-festival performances where he’s likely to play piano, pennywhistle and percussion.
