SoundLab Play Space: SubPac

I’ve known about SubPac for some time. I think I saw them at a Roli event I was speaking at  last year. I thought it was a great idea but I’d never had a chance to try it out, that is not until the SoundLab Play Space event. I have to say that I was really impressed with it. It feels amazing, totally amazing. I think it’s really had to put into words what it’s like as it is really a feeling and an experience and as such it’s difficult to translate it into words.

However, if you ever get a chance to try one out then I’d strongly suggest you do.

A beautiful addition to my Ukulele

I’ve been playing around with this hardware and iOS app for a little while and it’s really good. It works just so well with my Ukulele. I wanted to do some work around creating soundscapes using my Ukulele and iOS effects apps and this has done completely what I needed.

I’ll be putting together some sound samples from this soon, so you’ll be able to hear what I mean.

So we’re going to OMD!

OMD are playing the Royal Albert Hall next May, and I’ve got tickets. They’re going to play Dazzle Ships and Architecture and Morality too. Dazzle Ships was one of their more experimental albums but actually one of the ones I liked the most. I thought it was a really interesting album and I’ve always enjoyed it.

So I’m looking forward to seeing them live again, but it’s a long time to wait.
