BipTunia has made many albums (14 as of March 2019). All but the first 7 contain some microtonal music.

It's not a jam band. structured music. I work on music ~~largely 24/7~~. ~~Or close to that~~.

It's not a jam band. It's very structured music. I work on music a good percentage of my waking hours these days. And possibly when asleep too.

I've played music since 1978. First played a synthesizer (hardware) in 1980. Built a synth in 1981 (PAIA kit.)

There are some actual untruths there. One person said I've vandalized other people's work here. I have never done that.

Here's what I've done on this Wiki:

--I combined two pages with a lot of redundant info (Artists, and Bands, combined to new page, "LISTEN.")

--I combined two pages with a lot of redundant info (''Artists'', and ''Bands'', combined to new page, "LISTEN.")

First I discussed it with Kite, Jacob, Mike B. They OKed it.

--Plus found all the long-dead links on those pages and deleted dead links, put on the talk page what I deleted~~, then~~ found working Listen links for artists when ~~I could~~.

--Plus found all the long-dead links on those pages and deleted dead links, put on the talk page what I deleted (for historical completeness). Then I found working Listen links for artists when possible.

~~That~~ took about 2 weeks of about 3 hours a day.

Those two tasks took about 2 weeks of about 3 hours a day.

I spent an afternoon putting this up, and formatting it all, and adding the links. Kite suggested I do that.
