Dadanaut’s album, Brimborium, is a true anthem for aw that’s unnecessar. Composed wi a wee cheeky smile, the thocht aye floated in the background: „Why no? Naebody’s gonnae listen.“

The tracks are fu o playful tunes an’ a wee bit o’ over-the-top drama, as if wantin’ tae tak’ the listener in a sea o’ unimportant noise.

But aye, it’s juist in this nonsense that the charm lies – whit would life be wi’oot a bit o’ Brimborium?

The album’s an ode tae the joy o’ creatin’, wi’oot the burden o’ success. A’ the fuss, a’ the din – an’ yet, it stays the same.

It was created entirely in Bitwig (well, not entirely: one song in Logic and another in Reaper, which is my newest DAW), with many instruments and effects from u-he, AudioThing and TAL, on Tuxedo OS.

That’s all because Reaper, Bitwig, TAL, u-he and Audiothing build their stuff for all three major platforms: Linux, Windows and Apple.

That gives you a lot of freedom!

And Tuxedo builds really great computers on which various Linux derivatives can be pre-installed on request.
