@johnrohde @flexion crazy what can be achieved when you combine nerd forces in an enclosed space for a short while.
Basically this on steroids I guess https://xkcd.com/356/

@gargron@mastodon.social I realized I was not in the same league of software developer as my colleagues when I built a PC and put in 4GB of RAM while they'd go 16 and up.
This was back in the day before Electron apps, so think Notepad++ and Sublime Text, truly lightweight stuff.
You are incentivized to build fast shit when constrained by your RAM, I'll tell you that.

@fediplayssnake go forward not right!!!! are you trying to game over????

Setting up the new servers for my new Mastodon instance. (It's just a toy deployment.)

Accompanying the drums: Casio CZ101, Roland HS60 (Juno-106S) & Moog D, thanks to Pi. You know, 3.14...
Why?
In E01 of S02, Charlie mentions how Pi shows up in all kinds of places, & we don't know why. So why not incorporate some of these digits here?How?
The 3 instruments are each playing on their own MIDI channel (3, 1, 4) and start their sequence on beats 3, 1 and 4 (out of 8 - I'm really using a 4/4 signature, but running clock at 160 to 245bpm, double speed, hence as if it was 8/4).

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org Glad to hear that the spacing matters to native speakers too! And thanks for suggesting “wall clock time”—it's a very clear alternative.

The classic Roland TR909 (in form of the Behringer RD9 Rhythm Designer clone) not only drove the percussions, but was also played as a live instrument.
Only 2 basic patterns were programmed and all variations through the length of the recording are done by adding / removing certain beats, muting/unmuting parts and controlling the volume.

There is something about telephony that is inherently tied to electronic music (if for nothing else, due to Kraftwerk). Specifically I used some sounds that are typical of the telephone system, such as a POTS ringtone marking the first beat of each bar. And as you listen, you'll find the intro and ending also fully embrace the theme (and there's clearly a clin d'oeil to #kraftwerk )
