Live Streaming...

 Well, it's the reason I bought that camera after all - still need to get slick and going to talk to Virgin about updating my shitty router. Then I can agree a slot for Morphic Resonance and play them some live noodles. Just listening to some Headshock and thinking it'd be nice to slip in a surprise 'Rupert' or something - quite possible as it's all in BlackBox format. Will see what Tim thinks - would want him there anyway to maybe man a second camera, unless that makes it all too complicated. 
And that's the thing - doing anything with video/visuals always gets more complicated than just doing music and letting someone else sort the clever stuff. Anyway, it's something to work at.

Today I started hacking the garden, removed all the growth that gives easy ratty access to the bird table - I think Margaret has maybe not been going into the garden much and they've become bold. Broc useless so far in this respect. 

Friday. Tried streaming with my ice-cooled laptop. Seemed to work with only one person reporting dropout (Tim). Obviously more tests needed with a bigger audience but still, hopeful. Gonna sell the Tanzbar to raise cash for Macbook. Recorded what I did, in case it turned out OK, and I think it did. Only readers of Sheldrake will understand the title...

Another sunny day, nice morning for a walk with Broc then back for a bit more garden hacking, or beer drinking. Too hot for studio. 

Sunday, last day of freedom before three days of William. It's cooler so you never know.. tuned in to last night's Morphic Resonance - I think there were 16 viewers at its peak but I suppose I've played gigs to fewer people, like that time I drove to fucking Ipswich to support Ian Boddy. If I'm going to perform anywhere it's best I do it from here, that way I can maybe get some good recordings. 



No interest on the Tanzbar yet, might need to advertise in other places.
