Arbre

I call it, in likely bad French, "Abre de la nouvelle annee avec garcon."

Song: Opposite World

This is the latest from the album, Propagandistic Media.

Song: Not getting Anywhere anyway

From my bandcamp album, Propagandistic Media, this is the song called, "Not Getting Anywhere Anyway."
I don't usually put videos or music of other people on this blog, but this was probably the best concert YouTube has left up.

midnight in Acadia

Haven't posted this one on this blog either. I call it, "Midnight in Acadia."

On the road to faerie

Don't think i posted this on this blog yet. I call it, "on the road to faerie."

Return of Mr Nylon

Original song using nylon string guitar and vocals.


Robin Cook

Original song using nylon string guitar and vocals.

Simple But

It is possible that I posted this on this blog before.....


Another Song of Redemption

Now that I have collected most, but not all, of my original music on a site called tindeck, I thought I'd begin to put it up on a few of the web spaces I use. So, I will try my best to not repeat songs that I already have on this blog in some form. But I can't be entirely sure not to.

I'm just unorganized enough to know that there are songs of mine out on the internet that I likely don't have stored away somewhere. In fact, I'm sure there are more songs out there than I can recall. But this effort at tindeck is the best I can do, and I hope to have most of my songs up on YouTube soon too. Right now, I have several in the form of videos posted on YouTube so far at my JY Media Channel.


The magician was late for the ball

This is my latest krita creation. Called, "The Magician Was Late For the Ball."


another test of a different audio source(music album)

This, if I am successful, will be a test of using bandcamp as a source for html audio. Hmm...it seems to be a timed thing, just as with using Google Drive as a download link. So, rather than waste this space, I'll put some other music here. I'm trying not repeat songs I've already posted.

Propagandistic Media

From bandcamp, three songs so far.

Sloppy Waltz

A Sloppy Waltz by johnyorks

This is just as the title says, pretty much a sloppy waltz. Not too waltz like, but then if it was, it wouldn't be sloppy enough.

song: propagandistic media

Since this is the blog that I have tended to post this format and type of audio, I'll post this one here now. This is actually an older song that I realized never got recorded. So, since I still remembered how to play it, I made a version of it using nylon string guitar and vocals.

first attempt of html video hd (and other) tags

It seems like there could be a way to make videos play hd or not hd using html5 video. I would like to add more controls that allow the viewer to switch from hd to normal definition and back again. I would also like to explore the idea of adding more controls in general.This is my first attempt at discovering whether I can accomplish this or not.This is an episode of Sherlock Holmes via the Internet Archive. It is in the public domain.

I seem to lack the knowledge to connect the buttons to the player. Hmm...that is a critical step I'm missing, but if I gain that ability, I'll come back to this post.Until then, I have removed the buttons, but left the video up for any who come upon it and care to watch this episode of Sherlock Holmes

The concept of the "Soundie"

I just discovered the concept of the "Soundie." These were very early music videos, form the 1940s. Some of them are very risque for their time, and I would almost be embarrassed to post them here. But here is one called, "Row,Row,Row."

Flower Power Audio

Here is some music created with lmms that I used as a soundtrack for a short animation. Since this is the blog where I experiment with html and things, I thought I'd attempt to play with the design a little. Perhaps, it will be noticeable, but maybe not.

The text/special characters

I've decide to go with a simple font in the hopes of being read more.


 Arial seems the most standard. Ha, I learned a new trick with html/css. The hardest part was changing the size. Here is a list of special characters to use. Here is a way of changing the size of the character. As far as what browser will do what with it, that is something I'll have to test out.

inconsistencies are the norm between browsers and devices with html and embed

Inconsistencies seem to be the norm between browsers and devices. For instance, at least for a short while, I've decided to use a cursive style handwriting for the text of this blog. However, if my understanding is correct, it won't appear that way to someone on a tablet or other mobile device.

When it comes to html audio/video, and the various ways to embed audio/video, who knows what will work in each case. so far, it seems that the newer "embed" code works better in mobile than the older "iframe." But the reverse seems to be the case on a standard OS, especially using Firefox as a browser.

There is even apparently a great difference between browsers. Chrome seems to see every type of tag and code as far as I have been able to gather from my testing. Firefox does not do as well. As I don't use Windows, I have only been able to test IE in older versions on wine. That is hardly a fair way to test it.

It seems that Firefox on a standard OS would prefer the old fashioned "iframe" over the "embed" code, but even that could be something specific to the case. Also, it is hard for me to discern which audio file type plays best in Firefox. It is either ogg or mp3, so if one is able to use both in every attempt, there should be no problem getting it to work. however, it is much more practical to just use mp3, and if Firefox has trouble playing the file, then that is a problem more with Firefox rather than the file type.

Tablets and mobile devices are a whole other situation. For instance, so far from my testing, it seems that an android tablet likes the "embed" tag over the "iframe" tag, but maybe not in all cases. There was at least one case where the "iframe" tag seemed to work well. The problem is that this is the exact opposite of how things seem to work in Firefox.

It seems that the bottom line might be: use Google chrome and see the entire internet (with the exception of a slight problem with flash, which as I posted before is a technology that should be on the way out in the next few years).

Aiff best copies

I may have gotten better at post-production finally to the point where I can sort of do it. Here are the best copies of songs so far.
