Noisy electro, chunky EBM, new beat, and moody synthpop this week.

Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders's podcast "Our Opinions Are Correct" is always good, but this week's episode is exceptional.
OOAC Podcast Episode 43: The Myth of Rugged Individualism
Ambient, electro, synthpop, a tiny bit of EBM. A similar selection to the previous two weeks, but at 120 BPM. No rush.

And now I see the mpv manual has more precise values:
"0.9438743126816935" for [, and "1.059463094352953" for ].

Assuming equal temperament, the difference between a given semitone and its next higher or lower semitone is just shy of 6%. (5.94, I think).
This is useful when DJing. Songs tend to sound good at 0% and +/- 6%, and less good at other values.
To change pitch by these steps in mpv, set "audio-pitch-correction=no" in your config, and map the [ and ] keys to "multiply speed 1/1.06" and "multiply speed 1.06" in input.conf.
It's an old trick; posting because I figured out the mpv stuff yesterday.
An hour of ~130 BPM slightly spooky electro. A bunch of favorites, new and old.

An old #quake3 / #quakelive buddy contacted me recently. I hadn't talked to him in about 7 years. We just played a solid 90 minutes of duel on cpm22, cpm15, pukka3tourney2.
Feels real good.
Renoise 3.2 (Linux x86_64 build) running on FreeBSD 12.0:
The procedure to achieve this is the same that I outlined in this 2017 blog post. This time I was able to get the 64-bit build to work (which is a good thing, because there will be no more 32-bit builds going forward).

Black Rain / Night City.Tokyo
This is part of the original (abandoned) soundtrack to Johnny Mnemonic. Black Rain is Stuart Argabright, Shinichi Shimokawa, and others. (I'd have to pull my disc out to check). Released on Fifth Colvmn in 1995, this is as #cyberpunk as you can get. #ambient , #industrial , #techno . Proper. Some of this soundtrack was re-released by Blackest Ever Black in 2012.
I often wonder what Johnny Mnemonic would be like if it fit this soundtrack.

Let the record show I woke up at 1 AM Wednesday morning, and am still awake at 11 AM Thursday morning. Tea, then books, then beer, then beer.
Tonight's radio program will be interesting. And difficult.

Didn't make it to stage 6 in 1945 this night. I did pick up used hardcovers of "Company Town" by Madeline Ashby and "Get Shorty" by Elmore Leonard, though.
Get Shorty is hilarious. It's my first time reading Leonard. His dialog, timing, and story pacing is incredible.

I'm headed to the arcade tonigh - my friend DJ Cache is playing his regular monthly show there. Electro, italo disco, techno, etc. Here's hoping I make it to stage 6 in Strikers 1945 again.
Cache @ Ground Kontrol #pdx 9:00 PM until close, 21 & over, no cover.

Awake at 1 AM, tea at 2 AM. My sleep schedule is messed up again. No fun.

Some post-arcade head-nodding music. Downtempo beats, IDM, and four old tracker mods.
