Musical success – a pile of notes and headphones

I continue to make music. A new year has arrived. My new cosmic cycle follows the phases of the sun. The Earth has revolved around the sun. And a new cycle. Music for me is magic. And it's practice and technique. You have to constantly practice. True, for now I'm still a sorcerer's apprentice. I'm just learning. And making progress. By my standards. This makes me very happy.

Now my music studies have become more diverse. I've focused on gothic rock and space rock genres for bass guitar and electric guitar. And I've expanded the compositions I'm learning.

This space rock genre is Hawkwind. Their early work. Space is Deep, Master of Universe, PSchedelical Warlord, Down through the night. For example. These are all compositions of the same type. The sound is noisy. Like heavy metal. But lyrically, there's something about space and fantasy. Noisy sound. This is important. It helps hide the flaws in the playing. And the monotony of the sound. And how could I forget, Moonlum. I really love the moon. It's artistic and important to me.

Gothic rock is the Cure, Siouxsie, Fields of Nephelim, and Jesus and Mary Chain. The Cure's "Friday I Am in Love" is a song I adore. It's so light-sounding. A little melancholy. And there's a bit of joy in it, too. I liked the sound of "Snow in Summer." I listened to that song a long time ago, and I really liked it. Field of Nephelim – MoonChild. There should be some typical gothic rock strumming in there somewhere. It's a musical technique. And Jesus and Mary Chain – April Skies. Light playing, like spring rain and sunshine. I really like the sound.

Synthesizer. I've returned to it. And I'm still practicing. Beginner level. There are even a couple of chords and melodies from the band Laskoviy Mai. Very good music. And I'd be happy to read a book in "Music." I've also started learning a little guitar theory. It's plucking the strings, a guitar playing technique. I'm also learning where the notes are on the guitar fretboard. I've already mastered 14 chords on the synthesizer.

And that's not all. Yes, I practice regularly. I'm continuing. There's progress. That's the main thing. I've also started trying connecting my instruments to the computer on weekends. Through an external sound card. So I can plug in and play sound. It sounds great. I'm getting ready for the next step. This connection. And playing for real. With sound.

I'm still playing on an unplugged instrument. I'll also need to master a basic music recording program. To create a standard sound. And be able to record it. For example. I'm thinking about looking at LMMS, a free sound recording program I'm already familiar with. And something new, Luna. I'm a sleepwalker after all.

Things are moving forward. I'm already preparing for the next step - trying to play something on my instruments using an external sound card. A computer and recording software. I already have the bare minimum of equipment. It's great now, I can buy everything used and put together my own recording setup. My sound card is a Behringer U Phoria UM-2. It's black and compact. It has a guitar jack and a microphone. It also has a headphone jack. You can listen to your music through the headphones. That's what I do.

My headphones are large, black, and multimedia-quality. SVEN AP-860MW. They look beautiful. And this is my starter kit for music recording. I already installed the ASIO4ALL plugin. And everything has become clearer now. I plug it in and check the sound on weekends.

So far, I've even tried a DAW called LMMS. From there, I've learned a bit about how a MIDI keyboard works. I'm getting ready to play with sound. Or even try my first attempt at creating something. Basically, I have everything I need. I'm busy. Tons of notes and headphones!

“first there was a word”  aka a sound

[ebajous-curves]

Finaly figured out how to use digital filters and 4 channel audio in NAudio library. Drew something using two line outs on my soundcard.

To get best picture i used two filters - low shelf to boost low frequencies because they are cut by coupling capacitors at the output, and low pass filter based on impulse response and convolution to eliminate the Gibbs effect which can be seen as "hairy" ends of the lines. Last two photos demonstrating resulting picture with and without filters respectively.

4 channels is used because i also want to use beam brightness modulation (Z channel of oscilloscope)

I bought x2 lens for my phone camera so the control knobs on oscilloscope look less stretched out on the photos. Tested it during shooting the beautiful Gadget Hackwrench. See also my DSLR optics test here.

(btw in CIS and ex-USSR we call her “Гаечка”, the soft form of ”Nut”. By the word Nut here i mean little hexagonal things screwed by a wrench)
