The next Fennesz / Sakamoto album is due on Monday and I’m really looking forward to that too. I loved their last release and from listening to the previews on iTunes it sounds just as good. Very peaceful, very restful. Yes please. Bring it on.

Pictures of Blancmange
Blancmange at Bush Hall
I went to see Blancmange at Bush Hall on Wednesday. What a great gig. What a great band. Some of the old stuff, a lot of the new. I really enjoyed it.
I’m not sure I’ll get to another gig before the end of the year, so it was a good way to end the year in live music terms.
Silver ball
Bush Hall
I went to Bush hall last night and apart from it being a great gig (more of that another time) I loved the building, so here are a couple of shots of the ceiling. It was a great little venue.
This would be cool, if …
I could get the server app to work where I want it. At the moment it won’t run on the machine I want to run it on, otherwise everything would be just wonderful!
Twine could be just what I’m after

I like the idea of this, especially the web app part too, but I might need to investigate it a bit more before I commit to it on Kickstarter.
Handmade Electronic Music
I love this book. I have the paperback edition somewhere but I can’t find it right now, so I decided to buy the iBooks version as part of a plan to be able to make some of the circuits using iCircuit on my iPhone.
I realise that this sort of defeats the object, but when you’re on a train it isn’t easy (or advisable) to start soldering. There would be unpleasant consequences I should imagine.
Anyway, that’s my plan, and we’ll see how it works out, but if you don’t know this book, then it is excellent if you want to get into DIY electronics.
Soldering Iron Found, Projects can commence
That is to say that projects may commence at some point. It’s a step in the right direction I suppose. I probably need a few more bits and pieces sorted out before I can get going, so realistically, after Christmas.
At least, that’s the plan anyway.
Waiting for Romo
I am really looking forward to getting this little device in the not too distant future. Only have to wait until Feb. It feels like ages though!
I’m hoping that I might be able to use it with some older devices too, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see how that goes.
