More fun at the Science Museum

Launchpad: Clicks
An interesting experiment at Launchpad in the Science Museum. This made some cool clicks and percussive sounds depending on what surface you placed the boxes on.
Still thinking about integrating Romo into music making
I’m not sure how, but I think it needs to be done!
Yep, that’s what I’ve been drinking and it’s lovely
If you’re wondering what that is, it’s Apple and cinnamon. They served this at what used to be the tiny tea tent, and is now ‘Mr T’s’. A bit of a shame, I thought that the tiny tea tent sounded better, but never mind. It’s still an awesome drink.
The magical walk to Beyond the Border (or at least it was)
In years gone by this was the walk down from the camp site to the main festival site for Beyond the Border. Sadly it wasn’t so magical this year. Perhaps largely due to the weather and the fact that it was so muddy.
Anyway, it wasn’t as nice as before, which was a shame, but the event itself was good, and that’s more or less the main thing I guess.
Amazing what people make
Something from Beyond The Border. I saw this in the blue garden this weekend. Beautiful. But then, that’s what you expect form Beyond the Border. So glad I went this year again.
Been to Beyond the Border
Once again it was Beyond the Border this year. The international Storytelling festival in Wales. Another good one too. I really enjoyed it. I’ll be posting some more pictures and memories of this year’s festival soon enough.
Thinking about Romo
I’ve been thinking about what to do next with my Romo, and one thing immediately comes to mind. Using the three output ports at the front. I’ve been thinking about what I could do with those and especially what could be achieved musically using a tiny robot. I guess that’s what’s really interesting.
So I’ve started to gather some information on what the output from the ports is and then I’ll need to start some careful testing too. More on that as it develops.
Shapesynth and Sphero
Using Sphero with Shapesynth is really quite addictive. Video coming soon, but probably to Palm Sounds first.
Music day at Exhibition Road
I was around Exhibition Road for part of Music day this year. I missed it the last time it was on, so I was glad to be able to go this year. I managed to catch a few musical moments, one of which was a performance of a piece that was inspired by the hall of the modern world in the Science Museum.
It wasn’t bad at all. Quite ponderous and slow and thoughtful, but I enjoyed it a lot in the end. I’m glad I went, and I hope that music day keeps going, it certainly made it a more interesting trip.
