The new theme is Science.
Make some scientific music, no matter what scientific music sounds like in your head!
Whether it's sound textures of bubbles or a mathematical sequence for your song structure, have fun with it!
Yay! Completed one on time :)
#modalscales for @musicweeklies.bsky.social .
Starts out in Myxolydian b2 (mode of the harmonic major), shifts to Lydian, then to simple major with a borrowed min 5 chord.
I suck at transitions.

Better late than never… (maybe?!?) Here’s some Dorian-mode-megadrive-funk for this week’s @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge. Didn’t turn out anything like I thought/hoped but it’s all part of the process. #modal #megadrive #deflemask
A graphic with two vertical halves. The left half, with green background and check marks, says: "A safer internet IS MADE BY Encryption, Privacy, and Open Source"; the right half, with red background and crosses, says "A safer internet is NOT MADE BY Age verification, Scanning communication, or Tracking & data collection." #saferinternetday

Another "non-challenge challenge". I went through all modal scales and snuck in one that isn't stricktly one (although often used as if). All in a lunchbreak's work :D "Böfflamott" moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/b-ffla...
You know the #vegan trend is over 🥺😭when you get meatball ads when you're watching a well established vegan YT channel.
And thankfully my wife enjoys anything I seem to throw at her! ☺️ So here we go, experimental tofu.
Nice! It's on my list, Mary approves, too. I'm also going to try pea tofu, because those are the cheapest pulses available in Norway (and locally grown).
Have you seen this video series? It's really cool if you're into tofu. Hemp seed tofu, peanut tofu, black bean tofu...
Best #LongCovid (6 years long...) pastime: 35 tofu making videos by Mary's Test Kitchen.

This week, we're looking at #ModalScales! Choose any modal scale that isn't the regular major or minor (church, arabic, jazzy....) and make a piece with it!

Tag and post by Monday 2/3, and remember to listen and feedback other submissions, too.

Anyone trying some new things in the realm of #psychoacoustics?

Drawing of brain with left half full of mathematical formulas and a few musical notes, and right half exploding in colours. #Psychoacoustics is written too right.
Lean into #psychoacoustics for this week's challenge! Pick one element (or more) of how we perceive sound and incorporate it intentionally into your piece. Play with space, volume, frequencies... Shephard tone, anyone?
Hopefully we'll learn something new.
Post & tag by Mon 23/2! #composer
I lived in Devon during a 9 month stretch of daily rainfall. That was bleak for a Norwegian! Glad to hear the sun is out! ☀️
Last day of the #JazzHands challenge, but there's still time!
Brilliant!
The EAA votes are out
The great majority of our archaeological community has voted in favour of the petitions raised by #concernedEAA. We asked for a democratic process, we asked for accountability, and for the need to acknowledge the horrific genocidal policy of Israel against Gaza.
We did it! 💪
#concernedEAA
Although the way things are going with the EAA saddens me deeply, I love that your organisation is taking such a critical stance. Having just that one withdraw just this year has real impact.
And maybe this could be the beginning of something new. The "Archaeology is political" conference...?
The Association of Archaeologists in Greece, representing all the archaeologists with permanent contracts in the state sector, is withdrawing its participation in the organizing of the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social conference in Athens..Open letter, in English, below.

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Death and Bass". I thought this up not having read the challenge (but after it had been started, so it's ok?), while thinking about a technical death metal album. D 'n' B production approach. Death metal sounds. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/death-...
@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Is there one? (One)". Is there a "one". Answer: at least not without the limits of this track. Or there's a lot of them - you choose! moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/is-the...
@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Where is it? (One)" is what happens if you just play piano. Or, more accurately, I do it. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/where-...
@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Metermaß" is a tumbao inspired by Bavarian folk music. There's also a guitar with changing delay, and a fake EDM drumbeat that changes its mind midway. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/meterma
Love those breaks there! And some nice polyrhythms, too! Its definitely clear which instrument you play! Very tight beats. Do you play on midi-drums, or use pads, or how do you do the drums?
4/4 6/4 3/8 metal for @musicweeklies.bsky.social
Thank you! Haha, no. It's called MetalS. That's because it's what my synesthesia perceives the textures to be.
Thank you, James! ☺️
To hear that makes my day, Scowsh! Thank you. I was so sick of this whole piece at the end, I needed it to end on some good vibes at least. ☺️
