homemade noize

I have been out of it for about a week. People in more northern and less deserty places might find it hard to believe but last eight days ago i got sun burnt. The water was supposed to be cold so I was only going in for a moment but it was quite nice so I stayed in to long. Nordic people in the desert burn. It wasn’t that bad but I did not react well to it. The burn lead to a two day fever and repressed immune system that lead to me catching a nasty bug of some kind. So, I have kind of been under the weather and neglected almost everything including these pages. But here are a few things I have ran in latley when I was actually awake. Oh, yeah wear your sun screen.

The Electronic Peasant built the amazing portable synth above. The plenty of more picture on the site. One of the better DIY projects I have seen.

This video points out just how faulty insidious prejudices can. I was prejudice against Theremin’s. Which is a surprise since I like them. But I thought they were for background music in movies with evil scientist and aliens or strange sound for very trippy trip-hop or experimental music. A very special effecty kind of instrument. But I of course was wrong.

Peter Bennent has a bunch of cool musical interfaces. The Beatbearing above being the coolest. It reminds me of the Bubblegum Sequencer.

Finally here is some alternative recording tips. Number 7 works great when you have a sun burn.
