How many open source audio projects are out there? Let us take a minute to get an overview of the open source audio software and hardware communities.

At the foot of the Jura mountains, I was thinking a lot about how things sound. I am a Software Developer, Physicist and Musician and will probably always go between these fields. But this also leads to ever-changing pet projects and I felt a need for cohesion and convergence between them. This is why I decided to look for an umbrella that groups all of these projects together, such that every new project finds a place under it. This is a tactic of working on interesting, loosely related, projects, but still contribute to one common goal, that is allowed to develop itself over time in a bottom-up fashion. That umbrella is Jorchime.

Compounding, as in accumulated and accelerated growth – similar to compound interest. Can this concept be transferred to music production and coding? In this post, I want to approach this idea to learn if it can be useful to do more and plan less.

In the IndieMusicFeedback genrespin game you spin a wheel, get a genre, and try your best to produce a new song of that genre. The last time I played, I rolled Synthrock. Without knowing too much about the genre, I went and made a bass-heavy rock ballad with all but perfect vocals. This is a good time to take a close look at the production and see what I want to do better with my next song.
