I have the "emotional" section here in my head today.

Later dillinger isn't 100% all cylinders constantly like earlier dillinger, and I really enjoy the dynamics it has, like that gentler passage.
This is also a self promotion post. I do contribute on lemmy and with an alt, and I hope this fits. If not, please remove and let me know, or just ask me to remove it.
The Xenharmonic wiki is a great source to discover non 12 tone western music, and has a lot of different musical systems to try out and learn about.
I created a beginner level tool to try out the equally tempered music systems there, for example, the equally tempered variation of the Bohlen Pierce Scale :
You can play with the scale by going here and choosing "BP 3^13" . It works like a normal step sequencer, just draw stuff on the grid to make music.

The main riff stops, just vocals with transitional scream and introducing the new riff only on guitar, before the rest of the band joins back in.
Even though it's brickwalled, loud, everything in your face, the greatest bands know how to put dynamics in even for just a moment to make things stand out and communicate the musical ideas clearly.
16 step sequencer that you can use to play any Equal Temprement music system.
Use the three preset scales to try and compare western music, arabic music, and Bohlen Pierce scale.
Once you are comfortable, you can use the arrows on the left to change the notes (in semitones away from the root note) to make new musical scales, or the controls on the right to change the size of the octave, and number of notes within the octave to make new music systems.
This toy is intented to be an introduction to the world of micro and macrotonal music, removing financial and configuration barriers. Share it to your friends using the share code.
You can turn on Conway's Game of life to make the song evolve by itself through iterations.
Here's a few:
Turn on Conway's game of life for this one :
2X12X0X3X5X7X10X12X15X17X19X22X24X27X29X31X34X36Xg74X12ioXd8gX6wwX1eoX1sXaoX74Xb9sXli8XkxsX6psXsgX35sX0Xiyo
A demonstration of one of the Bohlen-Pierce scales that uses an octave size of 3 times the root note, divided into 13 notes instead of 12.

A demonstration of an Arabic Maqam :

A pulsar, this will loop through multiple states with Conway's game of life :
2X12X0X3X5X7X10X12X15X17X19X22X24X27X29X31X34X36X0X0X2t4X0X6kiX6kiX6kiX2t4X0X2t4X6kiX6kiX6kiX0X2t4X0
I see this pattern in a lot of music that I like, Jazz, Metal and Jazz Metal :
2X12X0X3X6X9X12X15X18X21X24X27X30X33X36X39X42X45Xpa8Xcn4X6bkXcn4X6bkX35sX6bkX35sX1kwX35sX1kwXsgX1kwXsgXe8Xsg
Finally, classical gliders (Turn on Conway's Game of Life)

https://newdawnowl.itch.io/microtonal-gridOpen linkView original on lemmy.worldI made a little script to get to grips with cron and to try to make my time management better :
If you want music to play, use ffmpeg/ffplay. If you want notifications, use notify-send. If you want neither, what are you doing reading this?
Save the following to chime.sh or whatever you want to call this
#! /bin/bash
# replace 1000 with your user id , run $ id -u to find out. this is to allow audio to play
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1000"
# checks what minute it is past the hour to play specific chime
case $(date +"%M") in
15|30|45) ffplay -autoexit -nodisp /path/to/your/chime.mp3
notify-send "BONG";;
00) ffplay -autoexit -nodisp /path/to/your/hourly/chime.mp3
notify-send "HOUR";;
*) notify-send $(date +"%M");;
esac
run
chmod +x chime.sh
Or whatever you called the file.
run
crontab -e
to open/config cron
Add
*/15 * * * * /path/to/your/chime.sh
This triggers the cron job every 15 mins. you can adjust the timings on both the cron config and the shell script to adjust how often you want chimes to go off.

My stack that matters :
Debian
KDE
Dolphin
I faffed around with running dolphin in admin mode to paste the fonts into the relevant folder before. I wanted to preview the font , and double clicked it. It just asked me if I wanted to install it to system or just this user.
Goddamnit.
