i really love the canal video that's in this improvisation... it was a lovely sunny day coming home along the regents canal last thursday... my camera sat just on the waters edge, rush hour on the canal, in the 15 minutes i left it filming there were many, many people, walking or cycling past...

lullabye mopho musical improvisation

yr3wk40 moog rogue & juno 6 from longcat on Vimeo.

on saturday i went down south to see spanna and her beautiful baby, the lullabye i wrote for her is currently the top song on my mypace...

old friends galore, all 4 of us who used to live in kensal rise together, F with her 2nd child, T with her usual wit, spanna with her brand new Mara (and indeed her man A) and me with my hayover...

curious mixture of hangover and hayfever which i was just emerging from when i arrived...

it was due to the red wine i'd drunk the night before after the opening night of the christian musical... really mental day it had been, finishing the lullabye (which involved recording a drum part by the wonderful J @ CM), picking up my brand new mopho which had been delivered to CM, doing the opening night, drinking...

the mopho is heaven on a stick...

i ordered it on wednesday (when i recorded the improvisation above), it was delivered to CM on thursday, picked it up friday, gigged it on sunday...

being last night... i was so excited by the new mopho that i forgot my keyboard stand and had to use the venue's keyboard stand, with sharp, loose screws holding it together and sticking out of it...

the mopho fell off a couple of times... it fits beautifully on the edge of my keyboard (it being ridiculously small) but it's not very stable, must find a better way of stowing it...

N was there - my sometimes benefactor (in fact the mopho is the only musical instrument i've bought recently without his help, he had a hand in my getting both the hammond and the piano module)... he was there with B, the 1st vocalist from hotel full of cops... the band i was in with N... it's probably been a decade since i last saw B, he hasn't changed, except that he's mellowed a little...

there is talk of a HFOC 2.0 in the air...

my beautiful dinah was there too, whooping and dancing...

it was a spanner jazz punks gig... it was good it think, i drank a couple of pints before playing so i was probably a touch ragged but i think we were still good... hard to say, we went down well...

i'm off soon to see TC down @ the studio - which i've started calling Blood Sunset Studio...

bought the watchmen book, i'm going to read at least some of it before i see the film...

yr3wk37 moog, juno, hammond

yr3wk37 moog, juno, hammond from longcat on Vimeo.

this from thursday morning, a couple of weeks ago it was the juno on it's own, now it's joined by the moog and the hammond organ...

i find in certain sections of this my arm looks really odd...

i formally welcome anamoglam to these pages, although he(?)'s been watching for a little while it seems...
