Alison Wilder inside a not-yet-budding Japanese maple staring out impishly

Sunday Post Wrangling – 04-16-23

Every Sunday, I pull all of my posts from my Mastodon account into a blog post here. 04-11-23 I love Plex’s sonic analysis features. I listen to my personal music library through Plex, and it’s such a blast to see what pops up together. For example, some of my more #experimental Blix Byrd music comes … Read more

Album Release – Blix Byrd IX

I couldn’t be happier to put this album into the world. It’s been quite the journey, and I’m both thrilled and a bit sad that it’s over.

(I mean, here in northern New England, it’s not really going to be springing but more loitering for awhile, but still.) Every Sunday, I … Read more

Sunday Post Wrangling – 03-12-23

Every Sunday, I pull all of my posts from my Mastodon account into a blog post here. 03-11-23 The only song on my upcoming album without bass is the easiest to mix and currently sounds the best. Hmm. (Yes, before you say it, this definitely says more about me than about bass.) #MusicProduction #Mixing 03-11-23 … Read more
