I've set up a Discord server called "David Peterson Harvey's Strange World." This will operate in conjunction with my video series of the same name that focuses mainly on music production and music theory for music producers that want the knowledge of a college music theory course in practical application along with music production and sound design.

If you are interested, please feel free to join the server at

Check out the David Peterson Harvey's Strange World community on Discord - hang out with 1 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

Since David loves doing strange, experimental sound design for music, he has created a Space Ambient playlist on YouTube. He'll be creating similar on Odysee and Rumble. Here's the first addition to the new playlist, "Sunrise on Venus."

Images for the video were generated using Grok AI.

We hope you enjoy it.

The hauntingly beautiful work of Gyorgi Legeti makes use of compositional techniques such as microtonality, polytonality and polyrythms while also exploring the range of timbres available on instruments.

Setting up to record video during a recording session can be tricky, especially when you're a one person show as I am in this case. I've worked out the lighting. I'm trying this 50 mm lens and hoping the out of focus look on the keys with an in-focus hand will look good.

Probably going to do the actual session work tomorrow. The video is intended t odocument the music production proces and be a path to fun and creative learning about music production for fledgling producers. "David Peterson Harvey's Strange World" is the intended destination for the video content as we continue our mission to educate while producing original music in original ways.

We plan to be at the learning center briefly Friday andSaturdayevenings. People are picking up the furniture and we have a few, small items left to move.

Our first studio location as we were moving five years ago. Now we're closing the second home but will still serve the community for home lessons and remote lessons.

We are partying today while packing up a few things. Come see us.

The big sign is coming down!

So many good memories here and we will miss it terribly when we close this location at month's end. Still, the adventure continues and so does the love for all those whose lives we touched.

This isn't the end of the business, just a shifting of our priorities and educational focus. We are still here for you, now more than ever before, just in a slightly different capacity.
