someone who's doing some things
I had completely forgotten that I had this signed numbered copy of Christopher Logue’s ‘Audiologue’. I haven’t listened to it in years and years and it was retrieved the other day to my surprise. It’s a lovely thing to have and I’m thinking about listening to it again soon, although I seem to remember that some of it was heavy going.
Sometimes simple bits of information give you just what you need to know. This is a good example of that.
The 2nd of April will be Arduino day this year. I’m interested to see what events will be on and if I can make any of them too.
I found this by chance really, but it’s interesting to see just how small things can be. You really can put this on your key chain. I need to sort out an ISP to load sketches to it.
This was a wonderful day just over a week ago. It was so much fun to be a part of and to see so many children have a great time just making sounds and experimenting.
I couldn’t help but get this new limited edition box set by Fennesz. Even though it’s live I really wanted it, and got it, and it’s beautiful. 2 x LPs, 2 x DVDs and a CD too, plus a very beautiful overall package.
Can’t fault it really.
Whilst broadly speaking I’ve enjoyed the latest series of Torchwood on audio I haven’t been blown away by it. However, having said that I think that this episode is by far the best so far. It’s touching, funny, and action packed, and probably best of all it has Gwen in it, which is never a bad thing. I think it’s only fair to say that I’ve enjoyed this much more than any of the other episodes to date. I hope that they do more like this.
I’ve liked the music of Louis Andriessen for some time. Years probably, and I haven’t heard any of his music performed in a very long time, so when the opportunity came to get tickets to this at the Barbican, and at an amazingly reasonable price too (thanks Sound and Music) then it was to be jumped at. Two of the pieces were premieres too, which was was of course great to hear.
Overall it was a really good concert.
I’ve mentioned this on PalmSounds just now but, as I’ve already made a bot called the Wisdom of Pullo and talked about it here a number of times, I thought I’d mention my new one, the RandomBus, which I’ve just launched. It was fun to make and hopefully it’ll be fun for anyone who wants to follow it too.
It’s come around a lot quicker than I expected actually. I did enjoy the first one, although not as much as the BBC’s take on the War Doctor, and that didn’t even have John Hurt in it. So I’m expecting more, a lot more, from this next Big Finish installment. It should be good. There’s no new set up or intro to do, it should be straight into story and that’s that.
Hopefully they’ll deliver.
