Merankorii Live at Club Tidal's Night Stream

19 de dezembro de 2022 — ~marado

Poster image for the festival

Celebrating the shortest?/longest? night (depending on where you are in the world), this year's Club Tidal solsice party is going to be a 24 hours festival, and my solo musical project Merankorii is going to participate by playing Cycle #35 (if you're in Portugal, that will be at 21:20, on December 21).

As some of you know, Yule is when my birthday also is, so this is a special celebration for me...

This online festival is going to be live streamed, so make sure to tune in during this 24h period and celebrate the Solstice by witnessing to people from all over the world livecoding sounds for your pleasure!

Are Cassette tapes dead? (again)

31 de maio de 2021 — ~marado

Tired of reading people saying that one or another mature technology was dead, ten years ago I decided to act upon one of those claims (saying that cassette tapes were dead) and write a blog post, where, using the data available on Discogs, I made a graph showing the percentage of cassette releases related to all of the releases on that database.

That blog post had more success than I thought would have, with some people, once in a while, wondering how were things progressing (not only regarding the cassette tapes market on current days, but also the growth of discogs' database and its knowledge of past releases). I did update the graph a few times since the initial blog post, but today, to mark the 10th anniversary of the initial post, I decided to actually write a script that automatically generates such a graphic, and generate one of those graphs, once again.

And, guess what!, turns out cassette tapes aren't dead, or even dying.
