@mirlo.space I've some questions, if i may?

Is there a way I could see the total number of releases per artist, or for the whole of a label as well?
In label mode, is there a way to give catalogue discounts as % instead of absolute values? That makes it much easier, because I can't see the sum of all release prices nowhere otherwise.
Is it possible to switch the overview in a releases tab to a chronological text list, and/or sortable by artist?
Alternatively, can I manually change the grid on the releases page to display more than 3 album covers per row, for large monitors?

Thank you for all you do! I'd be happy to make those requests in your code repository, if needed. I just don't know, where it is. Thank you again!

@jrp Hey, no worries! The catalogue discount as % is on our list here: https://github.com/funmusicplace/mirlo/issues/2019

If you’re able to go ahead and add the others there as well, that would be great as that’s the most direct and we can better keep you up to date with our progress on each. Thanks! 🛠️🐦‍⬛

Earheads Recs. https://mirlo.space/earheads is growing, 13 28 of 50++ releases now, and counting.

Take a listen :) It's pretty diverse.
For instance this: https://mirlo.space/vedette/release/i-slept-moments-for-you
Your #boost is much appreciated.
Follow @Earheads Recordings for more.

I just found, that it makes no sense to have all kinds of projects I am involved in splattered over 15+ Bandcamp profiles. And @mirlo.space is a very cool new music distribution.
See here: https://mirlo.space/

The earhead - a head full of ears - was given to me as a gift by a sculpturer named Susanne in 1989. A birthday present. It still shows the way i am hearing :)

Thanks everyone, player was picked up today, ENJOY: @DS

Record player to give away in Berlin until Monday (then goes to the bin). Model JVC L-A21. Nothing special, but works. Probably needs a new cartridge.

Pickup in #Moabit. Comment, if interested. Please indicate preferred time for pickup.

For the coming two days in #Berlin with temperatures eventually topping 40° C I recommend to have this recording ready for the eventually necessary doom soundtrack: https://uuuuemego.bandcamp.com/album/s-t
- besides sticking your feet into a bucket of ice cold water, of course.
The album is actually much more and much better than just that narrow description, but tracks like Verlagerung, Verlagerung, Verlagerung will pleasantly support your half concious reality during superheated d<ys.

Enjoy!
P.S.: UUUU are Edvard Graham Lewis, the infamous Valentina Magaletti, Matthew Simms & Thighpaulsandra. Vinyl is already sold out.

@Professional, inspiring audio So for small diaphragm condensers I am pretty happy with a pair of Russian matched Oktava MK-012. They sound natural, relaxed, no boom, no exaggerated clarity, and I had gotten myself cardoid, hypercardoid and omni matched pairs of capsules, too. Alrounders, neutral & round sounding, besides being a great deal. (Sadly not really available - in the former "West" - due to the goddarn Ukraine war. (Not getting there now, that's another issue))

Okay so, then my room mate bought a matched pair of Neumann KM 184s.
Hmm.
Suddenly there was actual reality.

I still like the Oktavas, they're good, but they aren't that good, meaning excellent.

What would you use for the usual suspects (piano distant miking, acoustic string instruments, percussion etc., and why?

Lauten LA-120?

Curious about your suggestions.

@jrp a friend of mine has developed a sphere-shaped microphone, which is pretty impressive. It would be interesting to get your feedback on this.
It is very HQ and the device has been well received by other sound engineers. Probably I could send it to you for a test.
Here I've found some theoretical write-up (in German) around this technology: https://www.ingwu.de/mikrofontechnik/mikrofonaufsaetze/19-05-zwei-jahre-kugelflaechenmikrofon.html

@jrp is there a silver bullet? I have difficulties with bowed strings and clarinets, especially, but generally just use several different mikes that have different characteristics to 'compensate' . so, you could recomend the Neumanns?

@mirlo.space Hey there good people of Mirlo.
I am trying to buy on Mirlo (Constellation Recs stuff), but your payment processor (Stripe) only offers to use credit cards, but not logging into my own Stripe for them to directly draw the payment from my bank account. I don't have a credit card, and I will never (be able to) get one.

How to proceed?
Thank you in advance!

@jrp that's a great question. Commenting in the hopes of seeing other replies which offer a solution.

I haven't had a credit card during the current millenium.

This version of Kurt Schwitters' Ursonate is sung by Charlotte de Montcassin.
Obviously a delightful character - as you can also see on https://charlottedemontcassin.com - she is yet/probably not male, which might be problematic. Why?

All of the released versions i ever saw were done by a male interpreter, as if Schwitters' heirs do not want another version. And then the best male version (by Jaap Blonk) was rejected by the unruly heirs - i call them sh*tters ;) -for being "untrue to the original composition".
Blonk even had to destroy an already produced batch of physical media - I heard (word of mouth, need to undermine that with a credible source, can you help?).

Anyhow - ENJOY!
P.S. I took the sound out from https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=OarzWaVYZ-s and refreshed it a little bit myself.

Charlotte de Montcassin - image taken without her permission from her website. A cheerful woman with welcoming wide open arms, lucidly smiling, in a highly reflective dress, as welcoming as it can get - i guess.

Thanks for the Ursonate!

@*_jߍyrope The audio doesn't work for me either, but I'll check out the video later. Thanks for sharing it!

I watched a guy perform the Ursonate at the Oslo Opera some years ago. Can't remember his name, though, but it was amazing!

Another slightly fun fact: I almost bought an apartment in the house where I believe Kurt Schwitters lived in his short stay in Lysaker outside Oslo after having to flee Germany. I didn't know about him at the time, and I didn't get the apartment, but it's a bit fun to think about given the fascination I got for his works some years later.

Das Freie Radio in Halle soll wohl finanziell ausgetrocknet werden - wohl von der rechten Seite des politischen Spektrums - und ich möchte Euch bitten, da für zusätzliche Unterstützung zu sorgen. Um Radio Corax geht es. Bitte schaut Euch das an, teilt die Nachricht, und

Ein als gesichert rechtsextrem eingestufter Landesverband kündigt unter der Überschrift „Radio Corax den Geldhahn zudrehen!“ in ihrem Wahlprogramm für die Landtagswahl an, das Freie Radio im Raum Halle finanziell austrocknen und damit faktisch abschaffen zu wollen.
Wir sagen: Ein guter Moment, um die (finanzielle) Unabhängigkeit von Corax zu sichern.
