That new Waldorf Protein synth looks well nice. They know how to draw you in. It sounds really great. 320 Euros. Too many synths and not enough cash! I like the 8 bit aliasing on the new synth....it sounds really great. I got their PPG VST on Black friday for 29 dollars. Xmas costs so much!

Have you ever come across this modular software? It's really interesting. I like the animated look of it. The developer is very on the case. It's got a subscription as well. I fiddled around with it a bit tonight. It makes some great sounds. You can run it in a web browser www.audionodes.com/blog/

I've just come across this old bit of software for XP/Windows 7. Wren modular sequencer. It's mindblowing all the modules in this thing. I reminds me of Nord Modular. People spend years writing apps then they vanish away. It's extremely comprehensive and has just about every tool you would need

Golden Lady by Stevie Wonder has the most mesmerising chords in it. It breaks a lot of rules and takes you on so many journeys and suprises through the song. What a master he is writing a song like this. Alot of major 9ths. To think he had that near death car accident then this came out of him.

John Fogerty still sounds great at 80! youtu.be/2wmofxw84lw?...

Always worth listening to Steve Furber! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2yD...

Every year that rolls by gives us useful information during the cold snap. 'Close your curtains to save money'. Well colour me pink. The internet is so awful nowadays isn't it. Like scraping the bottom of the barrell.

Wow I didn't realise Dr John had his finger shot off. Blimey. So he became a piano player because of it. Life is so interesting .....you can't predict it ...but bad things that happen to you can bring good fortune.

Well I didn't think much of that new A.I song that went to no 1...Walk my Walk....having said that it's the start of it. I want to see them bring back Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis as holograms and do that long famed album they were meant to work on. That would be a good use of A.I!

I'm starting to get much more advanced with VCV Rack now. Read the youtube description of how this all works. To me, VCV represents the cutting edge of what computers and music can do. It's un-limitless You just have to know how to unlock it and it takes patience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS7i...

Chat GPT is catching up with Claude. I've noticed how much better it's getting a coding stuff.

VCV Rack is such a rabbit hole. A tabla instrument that is being triggered by probability. The cutoff is manipulated by attractors. The 303 was programmed using sample n hold. I didn't play the 303 patterns in - the S/hold generated sequences. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJu_95P6tuQ&feature=youtu.be

The internet is very interesting I was thinking....a guy over in Canada I didn't know helped me a few years ago get my first art show ready in VR. I couldn't have done it without him. Then I never heard again. Maybe he died. It's that selfless helping someone with your time. It is a ripple effect.

Oh great. Everyone is still lighting fireworks at 10:40 at night whilst we are trying to get to bed for a gruelling day at work. Oh joy

It's time for a farewell from an old friend. Maybe one day he will be back. You never know! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwb6...

This was a great film with twists and sort of Roald Dahl style being dark but funny. Recommended and Joan Collins looked really cool! youtu.be/NwGOdiUBa3A?...

I've just read that Flipside Studio VR software is shutting in a few weeks after years. :((( Another cloud app bites the dust. It allowed us to able to film our avatars. I couldn't have made my videos without it. It was one of those rare apps where the technology didn't get in the way of the idea.

The Korg PS 3300 VST is one of the richest plugins I've heard to date. The resonance is so amazing. Korg made quality plugins. The long awaited Trinity is also great. I never got Trinity so this is v tempting. The Motion pads are amazing. youtu.be/zFi07oHugmw?...

Get ready for my new spooky song! #halloween www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXij...

How rubbish is this The lift has been out of action for a month. It's really disgraceful in a capital city. South Londoners can't get across to North London without it. What about people who are disabled? Breakdown Britain. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of my favourite drummers Jack De Johnette has just died. He was a powerhouse. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Miles and Bitches Brew - and this album. Rest in Peace Jack. He had that special energy and groove. Listen to his drumming here. youtu.be/KmSQqtCZJ9s?...

I really like the Arturia Microbrute. Look at how compact and well designed it is. The sequencer is very well implemented. Just flick the switch to record and start playing notes. It would be nice to see a poly version in this size with a drum machine built in and some speakers.

I just bought a Korg Volca Beats for 50 quid. It's a really great drum machine. I love the sound of it and the size. Then I read it just does 8 patterns. WTF! 8 patterns??? Why did they hamper such a great sounding machine?

House of horrors #halloween ( reposted. I always find something missing in my pics after posting. I am a Virgo by nature. Picky!)

It will be released at midnight on October the 31st! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkC1...

A lot of people are reflecting today after that AWS outage. Was life better in the 80s before the internet? It's very difficult to weigh that up. The high streets are now empty but we can buy everything at the click of a button. The internet lets us collaborate but also has sent everyone bonkers

I've just managed to re-create my favourite toy from the 1970s in VR. So cool! I've always wanted to do this! Expect some kind of Berzerk Space 1999 remake soon!

I didn't realise John Lodge had died! Wow. Only one Moodie left. Justin Hayward. They were such a great group. The 60s stars are all fading away. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brilliant story youtu.be/vnojY9I6iyc?...

Wow Donovan is still looking great and sounding great www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnoj...

I wonder what King Curtis would have done if he hadn't had his life taken so early in his mid 30s on his doorstep by a junkie.. The world is so full of extremes....beauty...and sadness. I guess that's why this music is so special youtu.be/4o1f9ONkl-c?...
