Trying out the bleepDrum
Martyn Ware at the Bowers and Wilkins Society of Sound stage at WOMAD
Martyn Ware’s 20 synth
A bit of set up trouble
Synth 20 is an OP-1
Yay!
This was a great talk from Mr Ware from Heaven 17. I really enjoyed it, he had some great insights into the development of synths since the 1970s. Of course it wasn’t for everyone, but I thought it was awesome, especially as synth 20 was an OP-1!
Channel 4’s Utopia
Someone mentioned this to me last week, and it was one of those programmes that I’d noticed and thought might be worth watching. So when I found out that the first series was on Netflix I thought I’d try it out.
The first series was excellent, not that I can say that I enjoyed it. It’s compelling viewing though. I watched the entire first season in one go, and now I’ve moved on to the second series, and so far, it’s just as good.
Some new music: There are always interruptions
I started this ages and ages ago, but only finished it off last night as I was trying out the latest version of Music Studio.

Real World 25
I felt compelled to get this nice little box set at WOMAD this year. I’ve got quite a lot of the tracks already, but it’s really well put together and it came with a load of bits and pieces like postcards and stuff, most of which have actually survived the weekend and trip home.
I think it goes on general release soon if not already and I’d recommend it to anyone who has been to WOMAD in the past, or who plans to go in the future.
