Wanted to have a quick talk about my handle and artist name, rauðvik.
If you have a passing knowledge of Icelandic/Nordic languages, you‘ll see the root, "rauð-" in there, meaning "red."
"-vik" derived from the verb, "að víkja", one meaning of which is "to deviate from." /1

Here’s a suggestion for today.
Starts with some #Berlinschool that is honestly pretty F O N K Y, goes into a much calmer piece with a bitcrushed piano which is very reminiscent of Ghosts-style Nine Inch Nails

While working through this piece, I’ve been having thoughts about how to approach the Fugues.
4-voice-or-fewer Fugues - one layer in Single Multisample per range so it becomes a multi-instrumental piece, or build an opsix patch.
opsix for the few 5-voice Fugues

Just need to make sure I don’t over-practice to the point I overthink it when it’s YouTube time with it.

To all Democratic leaders,
It will be infinitely better for you from a historical perspective to risk everything and take meaningful action against the masked band of thugs terrorizing Americans than to hem and haw and do nothing but issue strongly-worded statements.
Fuckin *do* something!

And I’m already at a point where I can play without a metronome and stay relatively reliably in time. The #wavestate ‘s Tap Tempo light helps quite a bit there.
Still just working on the smooth playing.

Prelude I is just about ready. Readjusted the tempo (down just a couple more bpm) and now it finally feels right. Just need to work on my legato-ness so the wave sequence doesn’t reset while playing

Thank you for saving me the read. Linking accounts would be nice but not if it’s something requiring payment

I’m so tired of “where are the artists right now?” We’re just trying to survive under capitalism like anyone else. Stop asking for our free labor without supporting us!

The same applies for music tutorials and advice
Learn to tell the diff between Art tutorials/advice that actually improve your skills vs ones that declaratively say you're "doing this wrong" & kill your style
Your weird quirk that's not "technically correct" may be what gives your art its unique style.
How boring if everyone made "perfect" art

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

WHO THE FUCK IS DOXXING & HARASSING CATS OF YORE?!?
like seriously, of all the fucking accounts on here, going after a cat account run by a real & caring human who’s always been conscientious to use alt text on cat picture posts

I deleted my previous posts about my harasser to protect the sanctuary, but I will not be using this bluesky account anymore if someone can threaten me here, via email, and on the phone without consequences. Bye for now.

The album closes with a piece that has a very 80’s-dystopian-sci-fi vibe to it, which sort of fits for the blooming technocratic hellscape being cultivated by Silicon Valley fuckwits.
If this all sounds like something you’d like, grab yourself a copy and give it a listen.

Words and laws meant to benefit some international stability and security are only as good as the willingness of those drafting them to enforce them.

Ok so apparently the Senate is working on a resolution (bipartisan) to block any attempt at annexation of Greenland.
Ok that’s all well and good, but 2 things,
1. Hurry the fuck up and y’all had better pass that shit.
2. Y’all had best make sure you enforce it when the toddler in charge
