[Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E83: Parallels”

Today’s broadcast is C1E83 for Mishmash Monday, April 1st, 2024. Today’s episode helps all of us who struggle so mightily with multitasking to enjoy an entire 27 track music block and an entire intro and outro without feeling like it, and without the guilt of tying up the time and resources so many of us generally require as serial monotaskers – on a program called "Parallels". Nerd Noise Radio is always here to help!

Music Block Runtime: 00:07:10, Total Episode Runtime: 00:15:06 

 

Our Intro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights. Our Outro Music is Malo Mart, from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Game Cube and Wii, composed by Tōru Minegishi, Asuka Hayazaki, and/or Kōji Kondō. 

 

Our final (of three – plus two Archive Super Bonuses) to be produced [at least partially] in Microsoft Windows – on the new Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 gaming laptop [shipped with Windows]. Also partially produced in Fedora Linux – on "Stickers" (the old primary laptop). Now that I've completed these productions on the ROG, I can finally flash it with Linux (probably also Fedora, or else possibly the Fedora-based Nobara, since this is a gaming laptop after all) and resume my life as a Linux-Exclusive user and producer. Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!
