hello all,
it's been quiet of late, so i thought i'd prompt a few thoughts with my
weekend shinanigans, i've been on a long studio shut-down / move /
re-installation and then on top of that two computer disasters in the space
of a week, and my own studio to sort out (including the booty (pirate term,
not hiphop term) paid for by working seven days a week for three months)
anyway...

1 - i debunked mitchell's law. while using your modular as a multitimbral
system interfaced with say a DAW, you need to have the flexibility to create
several distinct monophonic (or more) voices to write and multitrack a
song - discuss...

2 - the alesis masterlink is truely great. we've been using them at work for
centuries almost (okay we got one of the very first units in the uk), and
with the closure of the studio, i finally had to go out and buy my own - a
really flexible machine

3 - sorry uk listeners only here - the original buck rogers on dvd from
music zone - £2-97 a pop and there's four of them to collect !!! little did
i realise until now how much this series (1936!!!) influenced me (when it
was shown on uk tv in the 70's or 80's), my girlfriend has promised to leave
me if i go on stage in dr zarkhov outfit... ...yep i spend all weekend
sampling it

4 - i've re-discovered the joy of tape echos - oh yes - a space echo and a
kastam space ehco clone set up as a stereo pair, and a watkins copicat on
dub bass...

well there we go, i might be a bit high on life since this is the first
proper recording session i've had for my self since october, so please
excuse the gushing
but things have been a bit quiet of late (what's that i hear, the sharpening
of drill bits in preparation for stooge panels..?)
oh yes, and i've had a bottle and a half of wine, so we'll see how those
mixes came out in the morning
oh yes, and music zone also have stooge dvds (the early years) for £2-97

cheers
