Nilamox updates – Music Servers and necroblogging

Hi Kids! A couple of updates.

Nilamox has now created FIVE music releases since launch! Very pleased to have Music Server 6 now available on Bandcamp. To get there meant converting all of Music Server 1 -4 into 360º format, making the videos and then creating a set of new music that’s not completely dissimilar to the original 1998 – 2004 work, as I know people like to randomly play from the whole menu. No big jumps created. I gave copies to all the people waiting on their Tikis and Rats – international mail remains blocked here in mid 2020.

Pop art and dust

Music Server 5 is quite a different concept (look at the full title). It’s taking much more experimentation to get it right.

Having some real problems with getting the old blog copied over. I started pulling pages from the old sites but they seem to have closed down. I’d almost given up but thought to check archive.org and it’s all there, jumbled, but seemingly intact. I’ve copied everything to a Word document – which is 145,000 words long 😛. OK so it’s 12 years long. It has an excuse. I will rebuild articles from this as soon as I can.

The material in the blog reminds me how different things were before Twitter and Facebook. There was a lot more words and lot more anger. I don’t know how I found the time to write all that stuff – I need to find time to write more like that. It’s got a lot of fun stuff from 2008 – 2016, where it seems to slow down and spread across too many venues.

The Severed Heads museum is getting a lot of attention behind the scenes, soon a new picture gallery with much larger originals. Also, a new A3 flatbed scanner is here which is big enough to handle some of the bigger book stash means the esoteric library is happening.

I mean it’s ALL happening. What may seems slow is happening three times faster than ever before, but Nilamox has four times the ambition!

I thank anyone who is keeping their interest while this huge pivot from Sevcom to Nilamox is taking place. I know it seems haphazard, but it’s important to shake things up. Keep everyone guessing. As the Residents once said – ‘Stability Causes Cancer’… but then they stabilized. It hurts but it has to happen.

  1. Quick question: Are the 3-digit numbers (e.g. 505 Seine and Seance) part of the actual song titles?

      When the project reached 8 discs it seemed sensible to give them numbers so that it was quickly clear which track was available on which disc. They are not really part of the title, but … helpful.
