February and Bandcamp Friday

 Should I put out the THC album or wait until Paul can do it on Sunday?
Listening to over 1Gb of Jim Kirkwood, which was a free download. Not familiar with his music so probably unfair to judge after a few mins - but I'm gonna anyway. I think he sounds a bit like I might have if I stuck to my style of the late 80s or early 90s but refined my arrangements, didn't use weed and avoided other musicians to make it richer. So far I like it a lot, although some is very dense and over-orchestrated. Yeah, needs more space. OK revising opinions - some of it is unlistenable and he does that solo noodly vibrato synth we all used to back in the day but don't anymore. Oh well, 1Gb to free up I think. Will try more of it before I decide as anyone who makes that much has to have something worth hearing.

Friday tomorrow and I'm fancying more Osmose rather than my usual dice roll.

Finally back to walking this week. Saw John on Monday, hopefully Tim Wednesday, Tony Thursday, what larks! Today (Tuesday) I sorted that second file of Osmose firmware update but it still didn't fix my additive engine. I also managed to wipe all my user presets, which is slightly annoying but not unexpected. I have, however, found an online repository of Eagan Matrix patches, and have loaded a dozen or so to try. There needs to be an Osmose-specific place though as many don't scale right, which I guess is a good place for me to start digging deeper into the matrix myself. Howard has started and produced an electric piano so I'd like to get going also. 

Tim found a really evocative photo he took in the park of me and Jasper, really poignant. 


Wednesday we went to the pub, it were grand.
