[LAU] music made with Linux+Ardour -- "demonstrate"

PreScript: apologies for prematurely sending this email unfinished: on
the road, with a foreign keyboard and up too late rarely results in
anything good!!

ahoy all,

     first, thanks for all the music, tools, tips and time that all of
you have shared in this community. i have been following these lists
for some time, getting lots of help and inspiration as i stumbled my
way around the GNU+Linux audio world.

     and now i am happy to share something as well: "demonstrate (from
where to Now: volume 2)" by our music group "in-giro"

http://in-giro.xyz

created mainly with Ardour 3 alpha/beta (thanks Carl and Paul
especially for all the MIDI help!), the album was recorded "in giro"
(Italian for roughly "in motion, on the move"), in all aspects of the
phrase. the suite is a rock opera, with tracks 1-9 (of 10) flowing
gaplessly. thus, i recommend downloading the album (free) to
(hopefully!) enjoy it as intended from the first track onward.
currently the 'web site' is just a very thin veneer around the
ubiquitous Bandcamp widget, (with the so-called 'single', track 7,
playing if no other track is selected), so there will unfortunately be
awkward pauses between the songs if streamed directly. as further
incentive to listen offline, the downloaded ZIP file also includes the
libretto PDF containing hand-drawn lyrics, additional artwork and
credits.

      speaking of credits, i would like to mention in particular 2
people who i met on these lists while developing "demonstrate":

- long time GNU+Linux audio engineer Rich Wielgosz
http://richwielgosz.com mixed+mastered the album, IMHO doing a great
job with some sketchy source material (we are learning how to record
as we go!)
- musician, composer and list contributor Q
https://soundcloud.com/quirq-uk helped with production and creative
feedback

    finally, i would appreciate any comments: technical, creative,
proper email etiquette, whatever! thanks sincerely in advance for
taking the time to read/listen.

peace, w

PostScript: i am currently on the road for a good bit, so while i will
eventually respond to any replies, please be aware that it may take
some time ;)

PostPostScript: apologies again for the double post and false start!!!!
