Society is facing the COVID-19 pandemic. Issues like privacy, fake news and
|
||
|
|
social distance seem to become important. As an advocate of freedom and
|
||
|
|
openness I want to share my thoughts and ideas as well as

## Technical background
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Performance of the songs has taken place in an appartment during the first
|
||
|
|
lockdown. To minimize reverberations I macgyvered a
|
||
|
|
[vocal booth](/docs/tinkering/vocal-booth/). Except for *Layer 8*, which has
|
||
|
|
been recording during my first and exclusive
|
||
|
|
[livestream miniconcert](../live/streaming-miniconcert/) at another
|
||
|
|
place, all instruments and vocals have been overdubbed in that environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Editing, mixing and mastering was done with Ardour, a Free and Libre Open Source
|
||
|
|
Software DAW featuring tools like the Calf plugin suite, for example. The
|
||
|
|
livestream recording of Layer 8 has been mixed using only built-in ACE plugins
|
||
|
|
to try a lightweight and portable approach.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the album artwork I shot a foto with the Open Camera app and used GIMP for
|
||
|
|
filter effects and text layers. This work is an example of a state of the art
|
||
|
|
[FLOSS media studio](/docs/) production.
