I'm looking for a new book. You can suggest me anything.
Just finished this:

Moving on to this:

Both are not bad (IMO).
“Men Without Women” by Haruki Murakami. These are some of his more recent collections of short stories. “Norwegian Wood”, “Kafka On The Shore” and “ The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles” are my favorite from him.
Also, continuing this: https://cdn-resources.ableton.com/resources/uploads/makingmusic/MakingMusic_DennisDeSantis.pdf
And the Scaler 2 and SpaceFields manual.
Audiobooks are mainly how I read these days. Dishes each night is the time I knock out a good chunk.
I’m currently in God Emperor of Dune. Wacky. Not bad.

It's a real page turner.

My reading is limited due to old eyes. YouTube comes in very handy.
I'm with all of you here.
Audible can be a bit expensive. The account can be paused for a few months while you keep reading but they only let you do that once a year. Our public library system has something called "Libby" with many good free titles of all kinds. only problem is that if someone else requests your book you must stop listening until you can request it back.
I find that novels are better for audiobooks. With non fiction I like to stop and think or re read; more difficult with audio.
Also, the speaker(s) are very important. I'm amazed at the abilities of some speakers to create characters of all ages and sexes.
I'm also a fan and recently finished an audiobook of 1Q84. He can somehow make absurd situations seem believable with his kind of deadpan style. He's also very musical and uses a lot of musical references. In another book he interviews the conductor Seiji Ozawa where he mentions how music helps him write.
I finally finished The Dawn of Everything, ‘a new history of humanity. Quite a lot of detail to absorb but definitely worth it, I always suspected that the evolutionary progression towards nation states was a red herring, and this opens new conversations about governance and forms of social control, really puts the left right debate of modern politics in perspective.
God Human Animal Machine by Meghan O'Gieblyn. Tech and philosophy but written with such clarity and accessibility (to me anyway) interspersed with personal asides. HIGHLY recommended if you're interested in "technology, metaphor and the search for meaning."

The most interesting book I read this year was The Name of the Rose.
I love modulars, but I have big holes in my game. A lot of obvious things that I don't know and or understand. I learn by myself, but I often see simple things that I don't understand.
For example, what is MOVE for (see picture below). Reset?
Do you think a book like "Patch & Tweak with Moog" can help me?
It's a pricey book, but if people liked it here, I will buy it.
My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgård
And it's very good.
Exactly! If you like books, you buy 2, you read 1. 30 years later like me, you have a lot of unread books.
Agreed. Of course. And what a fine dowry we bring with us (or, indeed, I have so often left behind me). But there comes a time, for the first time, when you stare at all that's still unread and wonder which of these will remain still unbroken when I die...?
When I was watching this ATCQ video (which I feel as if it was made for me), I suddenly had an SCP-ish delusion the characters in the video were consciously synchronizing themselves to the beat.
(If I were to give it a title, it would be "Of Masterclocks and Men" or something like that. Too cheesy? Yeah, tell me about it.)
Brief explanation for those who do not know SCP
SCP is like "X-FILES". SCP Series is styled as a document for officials of various SCP organizations. It describes how to deal with various threats, how to capture, monitor, and manage them. Lower level personnel are treated as disposable and expendable. They may be disposed of if they learn of important secrets. The existence of SCP is concealed from the general public on a global scale. SCP is translated into many languages. (I may have written inaccurate information since I last read SCP several years ago.)
The following links are a selection of SCP's eerie phenomena I personally find interesting, mostly related to visual media. (Thanks for my iPad notes.)
In some cases, you have to tap the red text at the end of the sentence to read important information (equivalent to the punchline of the story) that has been hidden by SCP Foundation. The " * " symbol in the title is mine as a marker for this and does not exist in the original title.

Madam 90210: My Life as Madam to the Rich and Famous
by Alex Adams and William Stadiem
It’s absolute trash.
And I would be bitterly disappointed if it were not.
Have you ever read "Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women"? It's sort of in the same vein. Fun and bizarre book.
https://www.amazon.com/Learned-Pigs-Fireproof-Women-Entertainers/dp/0374525706
My mother-in-law gave me a copy. You are absolutely right; it is a fun read.
No, I haven't but I've just purchased it as it's right up my strasse. Thanks for the recommendation.
Absolutely.
Re-reading this. It's absolutely essential.
Also just been away for a week and read Piranesi in a day. Gave it to my second oldest son and he read it in a day too. It's absolutely brilliant, but, then, so is Susanna Clarke.
Just finished Project Hail Mary. Very entertaining if you like sci-fi.
I'm looking for a simple book on jazz improvisation, any suggestion?
Chris Blackwell’s autobiography
The Islander: My Life In Music And Beyond
(with Paul Morley)
A very enjoyable account of a fascinatingly unique life. Ex: being punched in the face by Errol Flynn
The third volume of the Gormenghast trilogy, ‘Titus Alone’.
Not as good as the first two, but I’ll give it a chance as I haven’t finished it yet.
Jamey Aebersold has some good stuff depending on your skill level. My professor in college jazz band always had us getting his books and a lot of them are about improvisation
I'm looking for explanation on substitution scales over a chords progression.
Let's say I play a simpe II -V - I in C maj.
Dm - G - C
On the G, as a default, I will improvise in G Mixolydian, but I know a lot of jazz pianists that will take G dominant diminushed over the G chord: G-Ab-Bb-C#-D-E-F
But I don't understand why and where it comes.
Dune audiobook and it’s phenomenal
I get everything I read or listen to free from my libraries digital services.
