Cheech & Chong, Mighty Boosh, time out...

Yeah, so I had a few days to myself and kinda took my time. The closest to 'work' I came was to revise Exoplanets 3 to version 1.1, dropping the track which was rather problematic. It didn't fit with the rest and I have tweaked 2 of the other tracks slightly, making edits are per my 'listener notes'. At 56 mins it's still a good length but I'll let it stew a bit longer and see whether it's as good as it can be.
Wrote a few words for His Dudeness's Harmonics in the Silence, easy to do cos I think this stuff is the best yet. I should probably do a few more Binar backbones.

Last night I watched one of my Cheech & Chong collection followed by a couple of episodes of Mighty Boosh (series 2). Amazing that they included an fairly obvious Cheech & Chong homage and that I hadn't noticed it before (the 'searching for the New Sound episode). So I got little done but had a nice relaxing time. Getting so good at relaxing it's hard to do anything else.

Tracked down a Vangelis album I'd never heard of - Sex Power (really!) and ordered it.
Got it. It's mad. Ordered a load more of the big V I only have on tape including some remasters. Heck, why not.

Tim and I recorded 2 days of groovy stuff. The first anarchic and totally spontaneous, the second with some pause and prep prior to recording.

I got some nausea pills as got inner ear weirdness going on from Wednesday morning.

Must do some review work tomorrow!

Was that November? Anything much happen?

Apart from the USA following our lead and voting to punch itself in the face for a bit, I mean.

Well, I'm in pro-active gathering-modules-for-review mode. So good old me. Have to keep that modular column going. Weird, but still enjoying the new lease of life Eurorack has given me. The new modules I got recently have all been really good and I'm recording quite a lot with the modular and anything else. As a result I already have a 1.0 version of Exoplanets 3. I'll play it for a while and see if anything is wrong with it - but after 1 day I think it's already the best yet.  I'm afraid I actually 'performed' on some of its drones.

Well, I hadn't posted any pix for a while. Now I have.
Today I finished an app review - fed up of those now. At least I ain't seen a good one in a very long time. Tomorrow a few days to myself to work on a few projects, maybe start a new novel. The fantasy one I have been throwing around the head cavity for a while.

Curries this week: 2
Watching GoT series 6 and loving it!

Phew

I think I made a meaningful update to Bogus Focus. Today I reached the end having fleshed out the characters to my satisfaction and shown more levels to the story. It's better for it but I really will need an editor in future. :)

I may release all 3 as Bogus Realities in a single volume. If I can just resist going back through each I might be able to start something new. The main thing is I can finally put it back up on Amazon and be happy about it - just need a way to alert people to the update (or send it them free).

I recorded this today (and something else). Rather pleased with it. Shows off the Doepfer Subharmonic Generator / Korgasmatron II / DLD with some bursts of Elements

Great day,
