“The Hubris of The DAW”

So another release on Bandcamp just went live this afternoon. Messing about with Wotja as a generative source for MIDI sequences, playing with a stochastic sequencer (I’d forgotten how much fun THAT was), a bit of live performance on the Seaboard and a lot of long delays with a touch of Valhalla reverb.

I continue to find Arturia’s Pigments and Roli’s Equator 2 to be good tools to work with, especially when using Plogue Bidule. They all play nicely together.

So here’s a link and I hope you enjoy:

… you might recognize the artwork :).

“The concept of privacy is completely different when you enter the United States.”

And so the Canadians are warning, not just Canadians, but Americans returning to the US. Here’s a link to a CBC article interviewing several immigration lawyers and consultants about travel between the US and Canada —

In the meantime, a bit of sky.

Rabbit, rabbit

Wherein, a day we dare not trust what we read…

April has come. And with it, perhaps a little warming, altho’ here it is snow broadcast for tomorrow. 

I once read that sheepherders hate April, for that is when the lambs are usually born and the weather is usually so unpredictable that there is a great risk of them being born “in the wild”, not found, and freezing to death. A terrible month of extremes, especially for sheep.

And then, of course, the pranks of April Fool’s Day — I learned of a new one: wrapping the toilet with clear plastic wrap, then leaving the seat down. Surprise!

With this, we enter the second quarter of the regime’s madness. Tomorrow promises to be interesting, although perhaps no more so than the previous two and half months have been. In like a lion and out like a lamb?

All I know for sure is be sure to check the toilet first.
