Sunny weekend of beer and noodles

Sunday night, another drunken video. This was before the shrooms kicked in!

As a contrast, here's some of the last batch of library tracks I did. I really must do more - and hope to have time soon.

I'm about 25 chapters into the 6x9 version of Future Art Factory. It's taking a while because I'm not just reformatting I'm tweaking. And by tweaking I mean editing, deleting the most cringeworthy phrases, improving the language. Seems I've learnt a lot since 2003, which is actually a good thing I think.

Must knuckle down to reviews I have in. Taking too long cos it's sunny.

Swapping CS30 for Paul's Pro2 this week. May seem a foolish thing to do but I think the Pro 2 will be more of my type of thing. We'll see anyway.

Probably not my most exciting set of pix. OK, scrub the probably.

Is it that time again?

Well, I now have a complete Octatrack/A4 combined project with banks A-I having something of value in. The last two banks, as they break my 'bank=key' rule, are noise or percussion and select percussion patterns on the A4.

Here's a brief part of Bank E.

I am now going through the OT adding program change events for likely ES2 patterns since it's a small thing and easy to include. Throw in a DD20 delay for the Lyra or 101 to do ambient bridges with and I think that's my gig sorted. Won't need the KS4. Actually, might swap the 101 for a DSI Pro 2 as have agreed to swap my CS30 for one with my pal Paul. Everyone says I'm nuts and that may well be true, it's been demonstrated before today. He'll do better stuff with it than me, it is more a player's synth than a funny noise synth. Look, I'm making excuses to myself even before parting, quel idiot!

Pat was away last night so I had a few drinks and made my little vid. Alas, I turned my phone off overnight and my mum tried to get in touch, not feeling well. Darn! She didn't ring Pat knowing she was away too so was proper miserable this morning.

More review stuff arrived Friday, never seems to end these days. More fecking clones. Retirement can't come soon enough!

Here's a crap picture of some frogspawn. Afraid I've not been inspired lately.

Posh new Elektron stands

Well, I like 'em.

And some vids. The UV doesn't reach from the studio's other end though so you can't see my glowy knobs.

That's about it really. Got less done today than planned. I've so far done 17 chapters of FAF editing. The job that never ends ;)
