🎼 Matt Mangels 🎹
This is my homepage. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Welcome to the personal website of Sean Matthew “Mangels” Hall. I’m primarily a musician (keyboards and vocals) but I also tinker with software now and then.
Music
- All My Exes Live in Texas (Sanger D. Shafer/Lyndia J. Shafer) — Live at Hotel Utah, June 23, 2014
- Lonely (original song) — Live at Hotel Utah, May 8, 2017
- Clairvoyance — Original instrumental track, 2013
- Draymond (parody of “Dream On” by Aerosmith) — 2017
- Elegy For Armando — Improvisation from February 2021 in honor of Armando “Chick” Corea.
- Solo piano cover of XTC's “Chalkhills & Children” — Approved by Andy Partridge himself! He has since deleted his Twitter account and thus I can't link to the tweet where he said this, so you'll have to take my word for it!
“Fantastic work man ! that is marvellous, don't know how you do it, my piano playing is Neanderthal up to that. Beautiful, well done.”
- The Come Up — I came up with the melody and chord progression to this beat that was produced by local rapper JC (c. 2010)
Software
- Countdown — Based on the UK game show of the same name (no copyright infringment intended!)
- CA Counties — How many of California's 58 counties can you name? Play this game to find out!
- SF Daily Weather Records — A Mastodon bot that posts San Francisco's daily temperature and precipitation records. (UPDATE Feb. 2025: the instance this bot was hosted on, botsin.space, has since shut down. Today's weather records for San Francisco can be found here.)
- Temperatures Around the Bay — A map of live temperatures from more than a dozen different weather stations in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
- WordHole — Guess the 5 letter word
- afd_to_json — A Python script that takes an Area Forecast Discussion (AFD) from the National Weather Service and turns it into JSON. Currently only works with Forecasts from the MTR office (San Francisco/Monterey Bay Area).
