wrapped in a blanket with zombies
dinah is out with school friends digging the halloween pub vibe...
i've been finishing off an experimental film i started a couple of weeks ago which i'm really happy with...
in fact, here it is (if i can):
last night floopy was round and we smoked and played cards until quite late, as usual the smoke got my head rotating and i couldn't sleep, loads of ideas for the film, for today's lesson...
so in the end i got between 1 & 3 hours sleep, i taught well, but in a meeting afterwards i was pretty dead, bumped into lovely M on the way back, he teaches in an amazing building i've been watching being built on my way into work these last few months...
so all afternoon i was editing, titling,
then i watched sigar ros on virgin central, the last day to catch it as the month brings different free tv things,
at one point a brass band wanders through the concert, it was lovely and it made me cry, lack of sleep partly to do with that...
so earlier on, after dinah had left and my film was rendering, i found "dawn of the dead 78" in instalments on dailymotion, so i watched a few instalments, shifted over to the sofa for the last part of dead set which was daftly gory but still very good i thought... 00's zombies who can run...
now i'm back with the 70's zombies, waiting for dinah to come home and for my film to be embeddable...

no improvisation but science
it's been a funny week for the improvisations, very synthy...
last thursday i recorded last week's improvisation, i lost a day or so through that LAME mp3 mess that was inflicted on me, then then finally it was ready to upload on sunday, standard fair really, i've fallen into doing the improv on sunday fairly frequently recently...
the video was/is 24 minutes long, i uploaded it to dailymotion, who have a 20 minute limit, unless you specify that it's creative content, in which case someone has to check that it is, and then you can publish it...
well i didn't realise this at the time, i was just confused that i couldn't put it anywhere even though it was up there, also i'd uploaded it to googlevideo and they'd just lost it, it didn't show up anywhere in their system, so i thought, forget googlevideo, this is why i'm moving over to dailymotion anyway...
but after a few days of dailymotion not confirming my video (i think they take anything between 3 & 6 days - that's a guess), i decided to upload it again to googlevideo - who magically found the 1st one i uploaded, so that's now adorning my myspace and longcat.net, but i think i'll wait until the dailymotion one is done before i put it up here... dailymotion will be the better quality of the two...
so yesterday i did this week's improvisation, partly spurred on by the thought of losing the NORD synth, and partly consciously doing it early in the week to give dailymotion more time to sort themselves out so i can publish it by sunday,
and this one (rendering now) is 22 minutes long, over the dailymotion limit so the same thing will happen with this...
i'll start uploading it tonight and dailymotion will hopefully get it through before sunday...
in general, what with my working week being so empty at the start of the week it does make sense to do it this way,
the new...
rehearsed again with spanner jazz punks last night, it could well be great with them... gigging in some kind of circus cabaret with them on the 25th of october

it's in my nose
i took the precaution of popping down to jai krishna's with my keyboard on my back last early evening and i think their wonderful food moved it along...
it had been in my throat for a few days,
it made me about 10 minutes late for my 1st rehearsal with spanner jazz punks, an 8 piece band run by D spanner, 5 horns up front and keys, bass, drums behind...
the tenor player was missing, and of the remaining 7, 2 of them were me & D,
leaving 5 new to me, of which i already knew 2...
one of whom was sox, he of leaving CM fame, for awhile he's been the longest surviving old school Cmer, but with him gone the mantle falls to me now... strange title...
i now D and him go back quite away so it wasn't much of a leap...
but the other one i know used to be in my blues workshop many, many years ago...
it was my 1st ever teaching job and i did it for maybe 3/4 years... around the time i was still in hotel full of cops... he played cornet in that band, but he's a trombone player now... strangely similar facial hair to me, although his moustache keeps going when it reaches the chin and goes in opposite directions to the ears...
i've found a new provider for my internet video hosting...
a french group called dailymotion who've been around apparently since before youtube...
they offer better definition than either youtube or googlevideo and although i like the idea of keeping all the improvisations in one place, googlevideo have been getting worse over the last few months in terms of bugs and irritating things...
so here's the LHC from a couple of weeks back in the new place:
in particular i like how the longcat icon is better defined in this version, the sound might be better too...
i'm going to have a period of uploading to both while i check out how dailymotion do it, but i think this is where i'm heading x
