A place I really need to go to …
This was an excellent recommendation, and one I think I might need to get to a few times. I’ve never been to the Musical Museum at Kew Bridge, and up until a few days ago, I’d never even heard of it! It sounds (pun intended) like somewhere I should be very well acquainted with, so my plan is to sort that out very soon.
When I have, expect pictures, over enthusiasm etc!
Lee Thompson’s Ska Orchestra at the Jazz Cafe
What a great night out this turned out to be. I really enjoyed seeing this band. The sound was lovely, and atmosphere was fun and pretty lively at time. Ska has never been a big thing for me, but perhaps I should do a little more digging to find out a bit more and do some more listening.
SoundLab is nominated for an award
It’s great to be nominated for anything, but this is excellent news, and I had no idea until last week. SoundLab has been nominated in the SEND resource category. I’m glad to say I’m going to be there, both at the expo and also at the awards too.
Olegtron samples available
Please feel free to use them however you see fit. But if you do make anything, then please let me know as I’d be very interested to hear what you make.
Gawain Hewitt at the Roundhouse
I was really pleased to be invited to this gig by my friend Gawain Hewitt. It’s always a lovely experience to see new music, and also to visit the Roundhouse. It was a really interesting performance. Improvised and based around field recordings of water that Gawain had taken in London, Norway, and Bangladesh.
It was at times very interesting and beautiful. I’m so glad that I got to go along.
The new 4th Doctor season begins with … Wave of Destruction
And I’m looking forward to hearing this one. It’s been a while since I’ve heard a new 4th Doctor story.
I like these …
There’s a useful page on apps supporting Link
I’ve set up a page on PalmSounds about iOS apps that will support Ableton’s Link technology. Thought I’d mention it.
More metal
