"Nige? Oh, he's that weird kid who likes music more than sport or super heroes"

I'm a composer and recording artist and... mostly an alright kinda geeza 😊 Primary 'playing' instrument is guitar (since a previous century) but I play enough keys, drums and bass to write for them.

Links to my 'stuff of wonder' in the 'About' tab. Please feel free to rummage with gusto. I don't like genres so will leave that right there.

Another mastering job has come my way and it's a bit different.

14 tracks, from the vaults of a great American drummer. Boy he's played with some people.

My job is to get them all matched up and sequenced as mega compilation album. Styles ranging from hip hop through funk and soul and into serious jazz-fusion (not the shredding type). So making them all sit together will be 'interesting'.... Ooh! I do like a creative challenge!

So, another Bandcamp Friday is nearly upon us, whoop whoop! As I do have a few new fedi friends of late... I have two albums on Bandcamp, Carnival for Little Creatures and Collage, nineteen tracks altogether and they're available as albums or individual tracks. A wide variety of styles, you decide what they are 👍 To make it more of an adventure I'm not posting links! Just go to Bandcamp and type Nigel Harpur into search. So far there's just the one of me 😁 #bandcamp #BandcampFriday #music

Diamanda would let it be known that she is the stretchiest, wiggleyest and loooongest cat in the world.

No photographs are allowed of this as that would constitute a severe and unforgivable breech of trust and privacy.

Message ends.

Both the UK's premier free to air nationwide TV channels showing the same football match at the same time. How pointless. One of them could be showing something interesting or entertaining. What a waste (what a waste). #WorldCup #bollocks

@muz4now@mastodon.world if I'm doing music/audio work on studio 'puter it's my trusty old Sennheiser HD600s, both with a control room emulation and without, but mostly with. Out and about on foot it's a lower-middle end pair of Groov-e earbuds which constantly surprise me with how good they are. Or of course in the car, which is a 15 year old Citroen C4 with whatever system was factory fitted. Definitely got a fizzy tweeter in it somewhere... quite handy for highlighting 'too much top' in a mix though! 😂

To check what version you have of rsync currently running just type rsync into the terminal and then scroll back to the top where it displays the version number. If already 3.4.3 I'm afraid you'll need to roll back... someone more knowledgeable than me can say how one does that! #linux

@MTP@musicians.today @heinragas@mublog.nl It took a while but I now have most of my music collection on my Nextcloud server and listen to it using a player app on my phone called Power Ampache 2. A few thousand tracks and generally on random play when I'm just wandering about. Radio Nige basically 😁 Also of course listen to complete albums as and when. Obviously all listening via half decent earbuds, not the phone skwawkbox! Still use RadioDroid occasionally and still miss RadioFreeFedi.

Well, having now supplied (separately) the solicitor and the estate agent with brain scans and DNA samples of us both for 'ID and security' they are all finally happy that we're not running an international crime syndicate or plotting the destruction of those houses of parliament... 😂 FFS and of course if I was even a half brained criminal I could easily have got around every (non) hurdle with ease (possibly easier than being genuine) 🙄

@cambraca@musicians.today I did once have a persistent vertigo thing when I'd just awoken and sat up in bed. Full on room spinning. Quite alarming as it went on and on. Turned out to be something to do with a 'crystal' becoming dislodged in your ear. There's a simple set of head movements you do when lying down that usually fixes it. Worked for me. I was SO relieved!

@Maker_of_Things I did this a couple of years back. Honest opinion then was that it was not an easy thing for non tech minded persons (sadly). Easier yes than it once was, but still a bit of a fingers crossed journey. I was successful and all still good. Very pleased in fact. It may be easier still now so hopefully some others will pipe up.

@bgm funny you should mention releasing singles. Been thinking of doing just that as, despite having plenty of time available, I am far from speedy at getting tunes finished. Tend to come up with the basics of a new one really quickly, in a mini torrent over a few days, but then... can't help it and quite content as well, it's 'me', but does mean a 3rd album is realistically a looong way off. So... a single every now and then is maybe the way forward.

Reading that foot the ball fans are being totally shafted in the US for travel to stadiums and accommodation. "Special" pricing, so a train ticket for an 18 mile journey to a stadium is $150 instead of the usual $12.90
Hotel rooms are cancelled without notice, then immediately readvertised at sky high rates.

@rdg_music@musicians.today sadly here in Maidstone no seats up for grabs at all, so cannot partake. I am hoping that in our next county council elections enough of the numpties that voted in the 'deformed uk' majority will have realised their error... but would not bet on it. Medway (separate unitary authority) is now, and is usually, more left leaning but main body of Kent wears blue rose tinted glasses (or has polished jack boots in the hall, ready for the glorious day 🙄).

@venya thanks so much for sharing these posts about your adjustment to 'civvy street'. It's really interesting and educational to follow the progress and some of the highs/lows/ins/outs. I only ever had one IRL friend that served (for some years) and he came away with a pretty jaundiced view in particular of 'the officer class', which grew more so as his distance from those years grew.

@venya literally very early days yet but overall the extra space and I expect neighbourhood privacy will really be a boon as you get used to it. How long will you keep cats inside for? They have a fearsome rep for attempting ridiculous journeys 'home'. Single minded doesn't cover it with cats! 😂

One day, when I was little, good old mum shelled out money she didn't have to buy me a Columbus jumbo acoustic. I learnt fast and my undying thanks go to John Hart, a great teacher and great friend. Then electric guitar, Elmore James! Jazz fusion! Frank Zappa! I formed and played in many bands... released Collage in 2014 and recently Carnival for Little Creatures on December 1st 2022
