      • kepstin-work
        function1: at least 24 hours.
      • (the cleanup script waits until at least 24 hours after the last edit affecting the artist has closed before deleting the artist)
      • function1
        wish it was longer
      • hawke_1
        reosarevok: Certainly seems like a small ensemble.
      • sezuan joined the channel
      • reosarevok
        function1: surely 24 h is enough time to find somewhere to use the artist on, or a URL to link it to?
      • voiceinsideyou joined the channel
      • (I mean, I assume you found the artist somewhere :) )
      • function1
        yeah i have to add 50+ artists for this box set
      • maybe i want add the release later
      • kepstin-work
        you can add artists in the release editor as you add the disks.
      • murk joined the channel
      • Freso
        kepstin-work: But that doesn't allow you to set artist type, start/end dates, country or gender.
      • kepstin-work
        well, you can do that later.
      • Freso
        Sure, but if you do it when you add them, you don't forget or otherwise miss any. :)
      • kepstin-work
        true :)
      • kepstin-work usually adds artists before using them.
      • function1
        i was advised to enter artists first. also, what Freso said. once i had to re-enter everything 3 times because of server errors. long release, ended up adding mediums as separate edits
      • voiceinsideyou1 joined the channel
      • kepstin-work
        i.e. I have the release editor open in one tab, and add artists in another tab, then paste the mbids into the release editor :)
      • reosarevok
        Yep, that's how I do it too
      • kepstin-work
        that mbid pasting feature graduating from being a userscript to being in the server proper was nice :)
      • hawke_1
        reosarevok: That brings us back to the question of: when it’s an ensemble taken from some larger group, is that a new artist or is it still the larger group (I mean, we probably wouldn’t make a separate artist if the second violinist was off sick that day for some recording, even if we knew). The other place I saw this is stuff like “The ladies of the ambrosian chorus”
      • reosarevok
        Well, it depends I guess
      • Most cases I've seen that, it is a proper subgroup they use more than once
      • But yeah, I wouldn't create a new artist for stuff like "string section" or "women of the choir"
      • kepstin-work
        we need a new artist-artist ar for 'is a sub/super-group of" then :)
      • kepstin-work could see other cases where this would be useful as well
      • nikki
        h!p :P
      • akb48...
      • kepstin-work
        yes, those other cases :)
      • reosarevok
        But those are actual *groups*
      • kepstin-work
        AKB48 Team A is a subgroup of AKB48
      • reosarevok
        (same as, for example, "Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker")
      • kepstin-work
        they're up to, what, 4 teams plus the training members in AKB48 now?
      • reosarevok
        (which are an established entity that performs as itself, as opposed to "the women sections of our choir since this is a work for women choir")
      • kepstin-work
        ah, no , just 3 teams :)
      • nikki
        hm
      • but there's team a, k, b and 4
      • kepstin-work
        they seem to have dropped team 4 now
      • it's not listed on their site, at least.
      • nikki
        but still, the artist exists in mb :P
      • kepstin-work
        well, I guess it should be marked as ended :)
      • man, their site is very, very pink.
      • Freso
        Can anyone find a decent size of this image http://www.multitraxmusic.com/eu/images/product... ?
      • Replacing small with big, large, orig, original, thumb, and simply removing it doesn't give a large image. Neither Google Images nor TinEye yield anything either.
      • JoeLlama joined the channel
      • nikki
        what release is it?
      • Freso
        nikki: "Funk, Vol. 3" or "Funk / Hip Hop, Vol. 3" - it isn't entered yet.
      • nikki: http://www.multitraxmusic.com/eu/pnahafahik.asp is the source of the image and all information about it that appears to exist online (until I finish entering it into MB).
      • Also, man, Dutch and German sometimes look alike. I could've sworn the text on the medium was German, but actually reading it, "voorbehouden" doesn't look very German. :p
      • nikki
      • maybe you can go on a little trip :P
      • Freso
        Well, I already have a copy of the cover here, it's just all plastered with library stickers. :)
      • nikki
        ah
      • Freso
        Plus, no scanner.
      • nikki
        find one? :P
      • Freso
        Meh. I'll never get around to uploading it either way. I don't want to do all the post-processing. :|
      • Anyway, worldcat.org looks neat.
      • nikki
        didn't LordSputnik say he likes doing that?
      • Freso
        It should couple up their "Linked Data" with MB data though. :p
      • reosarevok
        Freso: worldcat can be linked from MB btw, it's in the otherdbs thing
      • LordSputnik
        nikki: I did, but then I saw the pictures to be processed :P
      • Freso
        reosarevok: Nice. I'll do that. \o/

        Hm. I just added a new Work for the Aerosmith+Run-DMC version of Walk This Way, but that one really isn't much changed from the Aerosmith version and certainly not enough to warrant a new version by normal standards.
      • Leftmost joined the channel
      • However, it seems like all subsequent covers are of the Aerosmith+Run-DMC version rather than the Aerosmith-only version, and we don't really have a way to indicate that apart from through Work relationships, do we?
      • hawke_1
        Anybody here know Swedish?
      • Freso: Why would they be separate works?
      • nikki
        how much swedish?
      • Freso
        hawke_1: To indicate cover of cover relationships.
      • hawke_1
        Freso: “cover of cover”?
      • Freso
        hawke_1: Did you read what I wrote? :)
      • hawke_1
        nikki: Enough to add credit ARs from http://www.naxosmusiclibrary.com/sharedfiles/bo... (page 3)
      • Freso: Yes.
      • Freso
        hawke_1: Aerosmith releases "Walk This Way" in 197x, then they do a collaboration with Run-D.M.C.
      • So far so good.
      • hawke_1
        Freso: Yep.
      • Freso
        However.
      • Following this, there are at least two covers of the Run-DMC+Aerosmith version; Sum 41+some rappers and Sugababes+Girls something.
      • And thus, those two would be "cover of cover".
      • nikki
        hawke_1: anything in particular? it doesn't look all that complicated
      • I imagine Freso can understand it :P
      • Freso
        Oh, yeah, I'm down with Swedish. Sorry hawke_1, didn't see you asking. I was deep into my own little thinking zone box.
      • hawke_1: What do you need translated?
      • hawke_1: "Arrangemang" = arrangement, "instrumentering" = instrumentation, "damkör" is some kind of choir, "flöjt" is flute (most likely a transverse one), "oboe" is oboe, "soloklarinett" is a solo clarinet, "klarinet" is "clarinet", ...
      • Want me to continue? :p
      • nikki
        is slagverk drums?
      • Freso
        Percussion.
      • Trommer or trummer or something would be drums.
      • nikki
        ah
      • Freso
        "Slagverk" is literally "things for hitting"
      • nikki
        yeah
      • I assumed it was probably related to schlagzeug
      • Freso
        "Inspelad" = recorded, in Hemsjö Church and Artisten in Göteborg.
      • mixad - mixed, mastrad - mastered
      • Omslag - cover
      • nikki
        is damkör a female choir?
      • Freso
        Ah, yes, probably. :)
      • "Damekor"
      • ("Dam" in Danish is a pond, so I don't always catch that at first.)
      • nikki
        ah, heh
      • Freso
        "1997 bildade Leif Strand en sångensemble som just nu består av 16 kvinnor."

        hawke_1: I closed the PDF now.
      • hawke_1: Please ask for specific words/phrases you need help with. I think I covered a good deal here: ^
      • ruaok
        VxJasonxV: ping
      • VxJasonxV
        pong
      • what's up?
      • ruaok
        heya
      • thanks again for hooking us up with the private github repos.
      • VxJasonxV
        absolutely
      • ruaok
        do you think there would be a chance to get a few more?
      • VxJasonxV
        I'm not sure. The information I used at the time was pretty firm.
      • I gave the plan I could, and the guide said if the non-profit needed more they only have to pay the difference.
      • ruaok
        well, if you dont mind asking, that would be lovely.
      • ah.
      • ok.
      • VxJasonxV
        I will still ask :).
      • ruaok
        great, thanks!
      • hawke_1
        Freso: Thanks for the help, that should do it.
      • Freso: instrumentering → Instrumentation, as in “arranged instrumentation”?
      • what’s “spår”?
      • Freso
        hawke_1: I don't know what the "instrumentation" relationship means, but I'm guessing it's that.
      • hawke_1: Context? I'm guessing "track".
      • nikki
        looks like track to me too
      • hawke_1
        k
      • Krystof
        in track lists with submovements (e.g. sections of the Gloria in a mass), with the style IIa, IIb etc, does one skip IIi?

        bah, modern computers are two power-efficient. 4 quad-core boxes under my desk, and my legs are still chilly.
      • er, s/two/too/
      • nikki gives kepstin-work some socks
      • kepstin-work has socks. and slippers.
      • nikki
        clearly not enough!
      • kepstin-work
        hmm. -18°C out, with a low tonight of -22°C.
