Alone Again Times Two

 Yeah, doesn't seem like 5 mins since the last time, although only the one dog to look after this week. Dawn's having an op on her knee and Pat's gone down to help out as she'll be incapacitated. Sunday morning now and I'm contemplating how to use the time, probably should start the Buchla review as I probably know enough to do so. Feel like making music too, which is nice.

The Graham Massey thing was great, a bit like Gong in places and a bit jazzwanky in others, but always interesting. Young chap came up to me and said how much he'd enjoyed our Ferret set, which was very cool to hear. Hope when Tim gets back we can continue in the same vein and get ourselves ready to do more good shit. I recorded something on Friday that's half-decent and started something on Saturday I might progress more today. Should really be looking at putting patterns together for Headshock, just supporting sorta things but interesting ones. May not go and get another week's supply of curry - my system has only just recovered from the last lot. Then again, who knows?

Still struggling to make myself understood on the Torso beta list. The programmy chap asked for a use case that the current changes have scuppered and I gave a simple example of one of mine, to zero response - except from a few other users who got it. It feels, at the moment, like I've wasted my time with this thing and, worse, recommended the magical parts in the SOS review that, as I write this, have been trashed. Starting to suspect they simply don't know how to make their original idea stable enough and are changing direction accordingly. 

Good to remember that HX-One on the floor, even if I forgot it was assigned to the Easel and therefore made a fool of myself going on a wild goose chase after sorting out the unattached reverb spring. I suppose it's possible I swap things round too much. 

Monday did this

Wednesday went for a walk with Tony and, in the evening, watched some old Stargate thing and drank whisky. Slept well and woke feeling like doing some music - can't summon the enthusiasm to start writing review yet - will see if it 's any cooler today. Pat home tomorrow and I've missed her. 

This was Thursday/Friday but I think I forgot to record one of the things I did today or yesterday, erm.

On Saturday I changed a few things around - swapped the 505s, using them as mixer into the Cosmos so two instruments plus recorded performances can be processed by it. Getting great results. Put Super 6 in place of Osmose so I can loop it and the Easel together. Top fun!! Recorded this and I reckon June has already produced better music than May and I'm just two weeks in. 

Pat goes off again tomorrow, intend to get some RK again. And this week I will try and make inroads on the review.

I could take a photo of a fridge full of curry but I've done that before. Meant to do something this afternoon but haven't. Having some wine and will see what the evening holds...
