Homage to Severe Tire Damage (collaborative effort)
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2021 8:19 am
Hi all,
I realize I literally just posted my new album in another post, but this is fresh and I had to share it... This is only marginally relevant to this section, even though I did use FOSS tools to do my part so I think it applies
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a company that organizes a yearly conference in Beijing I've presented at a couple of times. They were interested in having a group of developers that play musical instruments to remotely and collaboratively pay tribute to "Severe Tire Damage", the first band to ever livestream a concert on the Internet in 1993, one year before Rolling Stones did it: they knew I played guitar, and so they invited me too. The idea was to record our parts (in audio and video) independently, and then a composer would take care of properly mixing everything. We were all asked to share our DI input, and we were given the stems for the preview, so I felt right at home doing everything in Ardour! I was also asked if I could contribute a solo, and how could I say no
I used the same approach I always do to record the audio parts, while for video I relied on OBS, a popular open source video recording and streaming application.
The video was eventually produced and premiered at the RTE2021 Developer Night in Beijing a few days ago, and I was just given the video file we're free to share with friends and online. It's quite short (a couple of minutes), and I've published it on the social networks I use, so you can watch it on any of the links below (choose the one you hate the least
)

Hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did doing my part!
