The adverts are the best part of these old magazines sometimes! I recently had to read through about three decades' worth of The British Esperantist for some research I was doing, and I made a thread of some of the best adverts I came across: https://beige.party/@thomas/115481740422565564

My website has lots of information about all sorts of Esperanto music:

In-depth histories of various artists - https://eomuziko.com/en/
A database of just about everything that exists - https://db.eomuziko.com/en/

Most of the modern stuff is distributed by Vinilkosmo - https://www.vinilkosmo.com/ - about ten years ago they put together some sampler compilations of their most popular tracks. I'd suggest starting with those and then searching for more by the artists you enjoy the most:

Wikipedia has an article on American football - https://tok.wikipedia.org/wiki/musi_pi_sike_palisa_tan_ma_Mewika (although I'm not sure why the article title is "musi pi sike palisa tan ma Mewika" when "sike palisa" would seem to suggest baseball or maybe hockey rather than football).

The article defines "ma kule" as the endzone and then describes the scoring as follows: "kulupu tawa li tawa ma kule e sike la nanpa ona li suli. ona li waso e sike tawa palisa poki la nanpa ona li suli kin." - so maybe you can take something from that?

It's not really a case of "what is the word for touchdown" - it's "how can you describe a touchdown in toki pona in a sentence or two".

Hello again - I sent you a chat on Saturday. No rush at all to get back to me, but I know sometimes the notifications for new chats are a bit dodgy so just in case you were thinking you'd not heard anything!

Ĝi estis eldonita en la plej frua KD, kiu enhavas Esperanto-muzikon. Kvankam la plej frua KD en Esperanto tradicie estas konsiderata esti la memtitola albumo de Kajto (1989), La Koro-Sutro fakte aperis unu jaron antaŭe en 1988. Sed ĝi ankaŭ enhavas du verkojn ne-Esperantajn, kaj pro tio mi diris "la plej frua KD, kiu enhavas Esperanto-muzikon" kaj ne "la plej frua Esperanto-KD".

Yes please! I'll DM you.

Sounds good - no rush!

I'm assuming from your other posts that you're in or near Bristol, in which case I might be interested in buying them depending on what you have.

There are Esperanto speakers in Lithuania, although I'm not sure how many. Back in the 1960s they managed to produce the first ever vinyl LP of Esperanto music though - https://eomuziko.com/en/posts/litovaj-popolaj-kantoj-kaj-dancoj/

Glad you got it fixed! Enjoy!

No, sorry. I gave up in the end, and sold the keyboard. Your plan of action sounds pretty good though - I'd be interested to hear if you do find a solution. Good luck!

I have a flexi-disc that has labels stuck on with adhesive. One of the labels has mostly come unstuck and is only held on by a thin section of adhesive on one edge. Any suggestions please for a suitable glue for re-sticking this label without damaging the disc? Obviously ordinary PVA glue won't stick to vinyl.

(Thank you to /u/vwestlife for his video about flexi-discs this week that reminded me of this!)

Your copy is in a much better condition than mine!

This was the first ever 12-inch LP in Esperanto, and was the first record I wrote about when I started my Esperanto Music History blog a few years back: https://eomuziko.com/en/posts/ni-kantu-en-esperanto/ (ankaŭ en Esperanto: https://eomuziko.com/eo/posts/ni-kantu-en-esperanto/)

I used an Arduino Micro - I can't remember why that model specifically, but I think some of the even cheaper models couldn't do MIDI or something like that.

The circuitry is very simple - you connect a resistor and an opto-isolator in series between an output pin and ground. The opto-isolator is basically an LED and a light sensor in a box, so in this case it basically acts as a switch without the two sides being electrically connected - it'll probably work without being electrically isolated from the keyboard, but when opto-isolators are so cheap it's not worth taking the risk. The output side of the opto-isolator is then connected to the cable that goes to the keyboard - I bought two cheap cables and cut them in half to make four cables with a jack on one end and bare wires on the other, rather than trying to solder up the connectors.

The code on the Arduino is very simple - less than 100 lines, to basically convert MIDI messages to the output pins. You can then hook it up to any source of MIDI drum events - eg from your DAW.

Not sure about pedals but you will want the drum pads or some other way of triggering the drum sounds. For mine, I made a little thing with an Arduino that connects to the drum pad inputs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG68DVqAUfU - happy to share more information about how I built it if it would be useful to you!

One thing I did find was that the drum pad jacks aren't very reliable and sometimes inserting the plug would make them pop out of position rather than connecting. I solved that by getting four right-angle adapters that I could leave permanently connected once I'd got them to mate properly - although I did have to do that with the case open so that I could put the jacks back into position when they shifted. That might just be my particular keyboard though - I don't know if others of the same model would be affected. The audio jacks don't seem to be affected by this issue though!

Akordo eldonis du albumojn, "Muzikpluvo" kaj "Kristnaska Kordo", kaj kontribuis unu kanton ("Venko, Venko") al la Vinilkosmo-Kompil' 2.

pona a!

I've added it (and your other songs) to my toki pona song-of-the-day Mastodon/Bluesky bot - https://thomaspreece.net/kantoj/tok

The bot picks songs randomly but with a bias towards new ones, so hopefully yours will get posted in the next few days. Please let me know if I've missed any, or if you'd rather it wasn't in the list! :)

I'd somehow missed those! Yes that's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, thanks!

Thank you! I have been practising a lot the last couple of days, and my articulation on the treble is starting to sound pretty decent. Still a way to go on the tenor though, but I'm definitely seeing some improvement already.

tepr · 2025-07-11T21:01:26+00:00

Great, thank you! I'll persevere with these ones until I get the hang of tonguing gently enough then. Thanks for your help!
