This is going to sound odd, but I am practically un-recorded. I'm a jazz bassist, and I find the recording process to be stressful and unrewarding, but love to perform for an audience. So my recordings are limited to cases where someone hired me to play bass for a demo, or something like that. Perhaps part of recording is a mental game, getting over being distracted by the thought that someone else is paying for my mistakes.

Also, maybe music is for me an escape from the tech world. So my utopia is still playing alcohol powered instruments with a bunch of kindred spirits.

But it's cool to see so many links.

During the lockdown, some friends and I have gotten together using Jamulus, just to be able to keep playing. I also tried a "round robin" recording, where each player lays down their part and passes it along to the next player, but the tune I chose was quite frankly over my head, so the final mix isn't really presentable. Also, I chose the tune in the first month of the lockdown, so it sounds really lonely and depressing.
