Hi - I'm part composer, part engineer and big fan of reading blogs where people learn out loud or with the garage door up by sharing their notebooks or journals. I've been doing this in Moleskines for years (going back to the 80s) but made it a new year's in 2024 resolution to post SOMETHING everyday, so long as I created the sound. I have a big archive of demos and seeds of ideas, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to do something with those in the process.<p>Being so steeped in programming for the last 30 years, a healty chunk of this material is made via coding with Csound, TidalCycles, some raw crude apps I've written from scratch, so I thought it would be of interest to the HN world.<p>Admittedly it's pretty self-indulgent, with a lot of names and references you won't get unless you know me, and the pics are often something from my camera roll that day if there's not a scan of music notation to share.<p>I think it's a very indieweb approach to take, though I wasn't aware of there being an indieweb movement until... 2022 probably. Thanks for reading and listening - let me know what you think.<p>Here's the ASK HN Part:<p>Here are a few blogs where someone is doing this learning out loud. Any others come to mind?<p>Rafal Pastuszak's Untested<p><a href="https://untested.sonnet.io/" rel="nofollow">https://untested.sonnet.io/</a><p>James Kochalka's American Elf<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110107174215/http://www.americanelf.com/comics/americanelf.php?name=americanelf&view=single&ID=40953" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20110107174215/http://www.americ...</a><p>Lynda Barry's Tumblr<p><a href="https://www.tumblr.com/thenearsightedmonkey" rel="nofollow">https://www.tumblr.com/thenearsightedmonkey</a>
