I upgraded via yum from F17 (since F18 didn't really go over very well).

Fedora / Linux / recording etc etc It's always quiet on the list.

How are you "studying?" Are you taking lessons? ---- My current musical projects: 1.) Two "major research papers" toward the completion of my MA... almost done! 2.) Rewriting---yet again---a music analysis program that's part of a relatively large research project at McGill/Yale/MIT/Aberdeen/BBC. I'll write more about this in the (sort of) near future. 3.) Overhauling my website. I've decided it's not helping anybody that my work isn't available anywhere, and although I wouldn't say that any of my work is particularly valuable, it might be just the thing somebody else is looking for. 4.) Making an SFZ file for the University of Iowa B-flat clarinet samples, which I'll use along with the "Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra" samples (for other instruments) in the next project. 5.) Synthesizing the start of the second movement of Brahms' third symphony with Qtractor (and others), just to see how well it sounds with FOSS software. With Vienna Symphonic Orchestra samples, frankly, it just doesn't sound real. 6.) "Recomposing" that same symphony, based on contrapuntal analysis results from the software in point (2) above, using SuperCollider. 7.) Learning Bach's BWV 857 prelude and fugue (F minor, Book 1 of Well-Tempered Clavier), to prove that I can. Considering I don't even really play piano, this was a bad idea, but now that I'm almost finished, I can't give up. That's it. Keep sharing, everybody! Do you have recordings of what you're doing or have already done?
