    One correction: the ALGOBABEZ project should be attributed to the duo of both Shelly Knotts and Joanne Armitage.

    Not seeing any comments here about the music itself. I enjoyed it: a soothing soundtrack for the beginning of my work day.

    I agree with invoicing everyone. Invoicing a client from your own business also helps distinguish you from being an employee, should that ever come into question.

    I bill by the hour and agree with a client up front about an invoicing schedule: usually the 1st of each month, and sometimes on the 1st and 15th of each month. I ripped off an inv…

    I work about 8 hours every day. Sometimes less. Sometimes more, but never more than 40 hours in a week. After work, I balance hobbies with family time. To be honest I have a harder…

    I grew up in the U.S. We were taught to use the metric system throughout my schooling and used it (metric) for all science courses in university. But in my university engineering l…

    I attended a performance of Four Organs in April 2017. There was an incredible amount of tension in the room because the performers looked like they were at their limit of being ab…

    Facebook can't be the only app that has collected this data, can it? What about every other app that requests permission to see that data?

    By far the most helpful resources for me have been product reviews and demos. Specifically the Sonicstate Sonic Lab reviews. https://youtu.be/eR1PrKfUvsQ Not really a "guide" like …

    I've given Sonic PI multiple good tries. I really have. TidalCycles is much more of a natural fit for me (which is an emphasis on rhythm and time manipulation rather than chords/me…

    If you're interested in rhythms and are open to using samples, you could take a look at Tidal ( http://tidal.lurk.org ). Tidal is a DSL embedded in Haskell, and can be used to very…

    There is a difference between finding and making time. I'm married, have one child, play hockey 1.5 times a week, write and record music, and try to cook. When I have a pet project…
