November's livestream almost crashed to pieces
Added 2019-11-06 10:29:36 +0000 UTCBut then it came back, and it was fun!
My system crashed twice right in the start of the stream (after the 30-minute warmup though). I've got some memory leak that consumed 32 GB of my RAM and 16 GB of swap and crashed my PC twice in something like 7 minutes.
Because of that the stream is in two pieces:
https://youtu.be/ex9b9763O6E - here's the warmup until the second crash
https://youtu.be/hOYaARn9EAU - here's the rest, with the meat of the stream
And when I was getting back on track - another disaster stroke!
My wife needed me to help open three cans of Coconut Milk.
Which apparently was not liquid, so I exclaimed: "are you sure this is milk, not... coconut chese?"
I've recorded the sound of opening a can using a hammer, and later I've split some samples from the recording and used all of that to make the drums for the track.
The hammer strikes became the kick and the snare, some other stuff became hihats and the vocal stuff was used to spice up the whole thing later.
I've also used TAL Noize Mak3r to make a "wobble reese" bass and some other instruments (came out pretty cool).
The whole track came out pretty strange and "Coconut Cheese" became an absolute meme among the livestream audience.
Hence I've called the track "Coconut Cheese" to celebrate that.
Wow, this was the most random and crashy livestream I've made so far. But it was also really fun.
I want to thank everyone who submitted their music, who attended the event (a total of 50 people at some point!) and everyone who's supporting my work on Patreon and Liberapay.
And also people who create open-source music software and Linux - which is a ground for everything I'm doing here.
