I just wrapped up the next installment of Other People's Music and I'm still listening to one of the albums as I post. It's got me thinking about how impressed I am with the overall quality of the music submitted every week.
Y'all are VERY good.
We're but one day away from a brand-new batch of Other People's Music, which means today is a great time to make sure you read the previous one and discovered its treasures!

I'm analyzing the file based on transients, sorting the segments according to loudness (Y axis) and average frequency of the spectrum (X axis), then playing through those segments using those groupings

Finally wrote something decent! I've been struggling so much since the orange ass clown got elected, I guess the key is just leaning into the rage 
Hey All, been a little while since I mentioned anything about Transverse Tempo, but there will be a new episode coming out soon (middle of the month-ish).
I am really excited to piece all the lovely tracks that various people have given me permission to play for you all. My thanks to them.
One thing I don't think I mentioned before, but I am aiming for the show to be a regular monthly thing :)
Wishing you all well, cheers for now!
If you're looking for some affordable artwork options without resorting to AI, may I suggest the work of Perplexing Ruins? He's an illustrator that works mostly in fantasy and sci fi who runs a super cheap Patreon that offers illustrations. He mostly intends them for #TTRPG use but I've confirmed with him that using them as album art is totally cool!
