I've been working on a longish post for the forum, 5 years on Wikiloops is a good time for some reflections.


"... a longish post for the forum" I'm looking forward to that most definitely <3

I'm sorry I haven't written to our diary. I haven't been active on Wikiloops anyway, I'm sorry about that too.

I always spent a lot of time mixing, but I couldn't make good-sounding songs anymore, so I lost my enthusiasm for mixing. I felt that it was better to spend my time practicing playing bass, rather than spending time mixing, which was rewarded with three thumbs up.



But otherwise, playing has been fun.
I play now in shitty Cover band, I still argue with the teacher at the adult education center, and I am more and more relaxed when I'm playing.


Sundays are the most fun days at the adult education center. We have a band room reserved for 1.5 hours with the students, when we play without a teacher.
The best moment on Sunday is always when we play a Finnish punk rock song. Then we always move the instruments a little bit, which gives me space to move and fool around.

So I have 2 bands, in a adult education center and a cover band. The first one is ending soon, so luckily the cover band is still going.
(I made a band poster for fun with AI. It's just for my own use, but I'm posting it here anyway🙂).

Great to see you here again Aito... I was wondering about you. I made a slight improvement to your Band Poster.

That's an improvement!

You made me smile, even though I have to practice the 'Man Who Sold the World' song here. I don't want to play it anymore.:D

Just thinking out loud, but maybe there are Loopistas here who would be prepared to mix other peoples tracks?
