bone to the rescue

he didn't turn up last week for the run through...

and i did give up on him...

i was thinking that i would have to show him where the tree is... off the beaten track as it is...

but it turns out he's still up for doing it... so i'm preparing a map/video to guide him to the right tree... part of me doesn't want to share the place with anyone - but that's foolishness and definitely in the way of anyone else helping me with the project...

so tonight i'm preparing my little video/map... packing up my keyboard for the spanner recording tomorrow... (this being the reason i can't do my dusk project myself tomorrow)... then eventually heading over to streatham for the 1st bang bang shot girl gig in an age... spski is meant to be there...

i'm mostly alone in the house - although someone's been in & out i think... haven't seen them...

audiovibe

ok so i'm back from the seasonal blewbury thing...

ever so lovely as it always is... i love my family...

& whilst i'm currently struggling to find someone to do my dusk project for me on friday - (spanner recording on that day) - i am also enjoying one of the fruits of the season -

i'm listening to ornette coleman through one of my under the bed storage things - (currently on top of the bed) via the medium of audiovibe...

this particular storage thing is made of plastic and is a box - the audiovibe also works well on cardboard boxes - (which i still have thousands of - post moving) - the bin - the recycling thing - tables, chairs & the floor also work - although wood is quieter than plastic or cardboard - the piano works pretty well as well..

dirt tends to build up on the sticky thing that connects to (bin - floor etc.) and although the box claims to have come with 2 replacement sticky things i seem to have mislaid mine -

i can see a future in which i have several audiovibes - permanently attached to various objects -

aaah - jazz drum solo's through under the bed storage units -

this is the life...

the whole thing reminds me of the reverb journey i've been on recently - finding different impulse responses of various different reverb spaces - then plugging the IR into logic and it's like playing in that space -

the audiovibe is similar but from the other direction - can't explain this better right now but i know what i mean -

also - just tested it & the audiovibe is only playing the left half of the stereo signal - so that's something to look at - i wonder if i could get another one and rewire it to only deal with the right signal?

or somehow send it a different signal - with the left & right reversed - hmmm..?
