What is this Bandcamp Friday Nov 6th? Have any of you used Bandcamp? 

It looks like artists can upload for free to Bandcamp, and it's from the fans who buy the music that bandcamp earns money, but that on these pandemic Fridays that bandcamp waives the 15 - 20% they normally take  

May give it a try ... :)

Regards, Scott

Ma, 

Am exploring this for my upcoming Honey in the Bag album, and it's free for musicians. 

Will explore playing outside today with video recording from Smartphone short clips to post to Twitter ...

and then with Bandcamp, to record again, tunes (like I've been doing), and then upload to bandcamp, as well as perhaps record the whole album and upload it too ... https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/
 
This would be as a first step to going into the wild plum studio for a professional recording, and possible production of a CD too - both of which I could then upload and also sell on bandcamp ... thinking through next steps ... now to head outside to play ... am inspired by Stuart Liddell's virtuosic piping I'm hearing as I type :)

How are you? :)

Love, 
Scott

Recording outside to include the Golden Great Bridge is difficult with smartphones, smartphone holders and too bright light in the afternoon ...


A slight smile seems nicer than a serious face in video too ...
(and how to connect Google photos / videos with a different Gmail account to keep account size limit down?)

Further recordings inside with Audacity, and then uploading tracks - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html - to Bandcamp for learning purposes ... 

Thoughts, ideas, questions, comments?

Warm regards,

Here's Scots' fiddler Lauren MacColl with her nice bandcamp site - https://laurenmaccoll.bandcamp.com/ - and with physical CDs and physical Prints for sale too, which bandcamp makes possible the sale of ... 

And here's the amazing, instructive, and inspiring - 

Stuart Liddell (solo) - The Blue Cloud, Mason's Apron
https://youtu.be/nsWSrDX7zrs

Appreciating the tempos of these tunes
I think he plays The Blue Cloud as a hornpipe at about 130 bpm

and Mason's Apron as a reel played here about about 112 bpm

(and in contrast to Bruce Wright's tempos here - 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html - yet learning these tempos allows one to ramp up or ramp down :) ... Does ramping up lead to a kind flight? :)

In a learning vein, 
Scott

Good morning, Patti, Barbara, Taylor, Bruce, David, Heather, Alex, Janie, All, 

What is this Bandcamp Friday Nov 6th? ... further explorations ... 

May give it a try ... :)
https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/

Am exploring this for my upcoming 'Honey in the Bag' Scottish Small Pipes' album

I've begun a blog entry about this email thread too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/10/turquoise-parrot-neophema-pulchella.html - 
and here too is the inspiring Lauren MacColl's band camp website - https://laurenmaccoll.bandcamp.com/ - and while I think she's partly merchandising to bring people to her lovely music on bandcamp, I'm thinking through why I'm sharing my Scottish Small Piping (and perhaps regarding a similar site, not for artists' musical recordings per se - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity)


So, further, re learning from this for my upcoming 'Honey in the Bag' Scottish Small Pipes' album ~
wearing a kilt in any videos makes much sense! ... And a slight smile 😂 ☺️ at least to begin with in videos too re ...

And while I'm not Stuart Liddell as a piper (who seems to ramp up from about 113 bpm to 130bpm Blue Cloud, Mason's Apron - https://youtu.be/nsWSrDX7zrs and this is pretty amazing too, where he does a bit of ramping up right at the beginning - "15 Solo Stuart Liddell Inverary Pipe Band 2013 Royal Concert Hall" https://youtu.be/XoQt5kvnweA ... and yet another ramp up into flight, and maybe in double-time ... 220 bpm :), who plays virtuouslically and perfectly, re a kind of personal inhibitory perfectionism, these Twitter videos have helped me move

Inspired by Lauren MacColl's bandcamp web site, and her physical prints available there, in addition to her physical CDs - re creating my first SSP album - I thought first to put my Harbin Hot Springs' inspired books there ... 


(CV: https://goo.gl/JZheSb) ... and how would one list books published in the Academic Press at World University and School available in paper and with such links as above - at Bandcamp? ...

... but then re my bandcamp's bagpiping and Scotland focus, it occurs to me to somehow access my Bagpiping In Scotland paper I wrote as a 20 year old after I received a miniscule UNESCO ZIS stipendium to travel from Munich, Germany, where I was studying, to Glasgow and Edinburgh to study piping in Scotland. As I recall I took a piping workshop with the great Duncan Johnstone. The paper is supposed to be in the library of Schloss Salem somewhere in Germany (maybe the SW, am Bodensee, and which is also an IB high school, I think - https://www.schule-schloss-salem.de/en/ and "zis participants hand in a study report, a diary and a statement" from https://www.zis-reisen.de/en/your-zis/ - and wow, my teacher in the Reed College Program in Munich, Frau Wuttig, who was GREAT, is at the bottom of this page - https://www.zis-reisen.de/en/your-zis/ ).

It then occurred to me to put into pamphlet form the little talk I gave at the Clan MacLeod Pacific AGM (Annual General Meeting) gathering in South San Francisco in 2011 and make it available, possibly for free.

And yet further, it occurs to me to re-formulate some of my bagpiping blog entries - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/bagpiping - and thinking about playing the bagpipes, which might be inspiring, into some kind of prints' format (that one could put on one's wall, again inspired by Lauren MacColl's prints - if I was looking to merchandise, and offer other physical items available through this band camp page).

Bandcamp may be better designed Information technology, than SoundCloud and Reverbnation in these regards ... and with regards to people and musicians ...:)


And it's free for musicians, and these band camp Fridays' helps to create a deadline, and musicians get rewarded on the day. 

Musical cheers, Scott

Hi Scott,

It was nice to see you again at the talk, and thank you for your questions. 

I am also grateful for these interesting ideas and projects. The paper you share is great. Do you know content tourism in Japan? I think that is relevant. 

I am developing a new project on ethics of digital heritage.I would be very interested in joining your seminar. Look forward to your virtual hot spring.

cheers,
Yujie

Yujie, 

Thanks for your email, your talk, and very nice to see you again as well. I don't know content tourism in Japan. What might you suggest looking at?  

Regarding your new project on ethics of digital heritage, and ethics and tourism, - and the information age as new condition with which to interpret tourism - I wonder if "The Hacker Ethos"  by Pekka Himanen might be of interest to you, re interpreting the ethics of the IT Revolution (and which book and ideas I teach about - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html). Also re ethics, in my peer reviewed chapter on Tourism in the Middle East to online virtual UNESCO World Heritage Sites, I argue that German UNESCO WHS producers engage in a form of orientalism (per Edward Said)
 - and with many ethics' implications (book here - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - and I can send you the chapter if interested, which emerges also from getting to know a UC Berkeley Tourism Studies' friend Rami Daher, who edited the book).

And regarding, further, UNESCO WHS, my Univ of Edinburgh MSc dissertation was on visiting virtual St. Kilda, Scotland, as an emerging, or nascent, online 'place' - http://scottmacleod.com/MacLeod%20Physical%20and%20Online%20St%20Kilda%20A%20%20Comparison%20of%20Senses%20of%20Place%20MSc%20Dissertation%20University%20of%20Edinburgh.pdf - regarding your interest in heritage too. 


A realistic virtual earth for EVERYTHING will include a realistic virtual earth for history - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click - and am thinking conceptually in terms of Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, so that we'll be able to time slide back to the making of heritage sites too. 

Looking forward to seeing you on December 18th re my TSWG seminar; am also seeking eventually to teach a research seminar on the making of actual-virtual Harbin emerging from - http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html .

Cheers, 
Scott

Yujie, 

Here's Pekka HImanen's book (with Linus Torvalds and Manuel Castells - and again I'm a Castellian) actually, and it's called "The Hacker Ethic" (not the Hacker Ethos) - http://index-of.co.uk/Hackers/hacker%20ethic.pdf - re your digital ethics' project.


Have blogged about some of this here further -

... click on the little mask to go into stereo-optic mode, and slip it into a Google Cardboard mask if you have that. Am seeking for this to become an ethnographic research field site too, and re my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project. 

How to make this virtual Harbin part of a single realistic virtual earth, so that on my Google Smart TV I could 'travel' anywhere virtually at any time in history and visit anything, and it would keep iterating on itself with more and more data (and at the cellular and atomic levels too)?
