I'm playing Assassins Creed #VR and it's really so similar to the one I played before. Lots of hours of playtime. The thing that I find a little annoying is the warnings about taking a break after only 15 minutes of play. I've been on VR for years and can play for long time, maybe there's some way to stop the warnings? I must say, that I found Red Matter 2 far more intresesting that Assassins, but so much shorter also.

One thing I do for work and that I find very relaxing and fun is to transcribe old scores from the choir archive. Our choir is almost 75 years and the archive is full of scores written by hand. I do love working with handmade scores 'cause it makes me feel more attached to the composer who did it. But singers prefer renewed scores that are easyer to read and are easy to read on tablets or whatever tool they use. This is the begining of the sardana "Els degotalls". Els degotalls is a rock located in the mountain of Montserrat, an iconic one here for the catalan people (even the ones not religious like me) where you can find the monastery of Montserrat where one can admire "la moreneta", one of the most importants images of the Virgin Mary with the particularity that is a black one. The monastery of Montserrat is a Benedictine one that was first mentioned on 882 AD so its really ancient one. From there we have "El llibre vermell de Montserrat"(the red book of Montserrat) from 1399 and it's full of medieval music, but let's talk about that in another ocasion. If you have interest on having the full score, I can send it to you once it's fully translated. image

Learning about rss, music and options here, by now I'm interested in MSP. I have the doubt about if it's possible to host my music on IPFS and serve it from there with the CID to podcast 2.0, or I need some other storage or VPS... with a domain? @StevenB

At the end of 2023 my work "La pubilla de Lloret" was premiered. This is a sardana, the mational dance of Catalonia that follows its own rules ans is interpreted by the cobla, a peculiar group of instruments with some interesting ones. The double bass use to have three strings and it's called "la berra", then there are two tenores and two tibles that are doible reed instruments with a very unique and powerful sound. Also there is a valve trombone, trumpets, fiscorn... Well, you can take a hear. Let me know if you like it, if you knew about sardana... And have a nice day

I've read something about #video on nostr but now I can't find it. Another good thing if one can use #nostr instead of youtube, vimeo...

Rehersal done, and all the work of the day. Time to read a while. I'm with some good books right now. Lately I've been revisiting some of Bill Byrson, the last was the one about the Apalachians, very funny and interesting as usual. Today I'm kind exhausted, I think I'm gonna read some easy zombie novel (yes, a little vice I have). Talking about zombies, some time ago I made my own alternative The Walkong Dead intro.

I've been here a few days and I feel that's the way things should work; people talking interesting matters, no algorithm interferences, no conditions, lots of info and good connections! And #amethyst works like a charm I love #nostr

So, after all the morning dealing with #music distributors, I'm more than mever convinced that the best way to spread my music is on the blockchain as #NFT. Some time ago I tested Rocki, Emanate, Musicoin... and several more services but all crashed at some point or took some questionable path so everytime there's centralizations, there's pain in the ass for me. I'll keep fighting to get my music on centralized places 'cause I'd like to be heard by those who still don't know the goods of bc, but I'll concentrate 99% of my efforts on turning my (not so big) cataloge as NFTs. Do you have any suggestions on wich blockchain use? I think one of the bests is DOT but not sure if it's the best for music. Also I like the feature of objkt.com where you can play all the nfts just with a click like a regular playlist (I guess it's a feature of this particular site, not of tezos) I have to search if there's the same feature on other chains. I'm not found it on opensea, rarible, rmrk, uniq... Do you know some?
