Just another little reminder about this event will be completely amazing, or at least I hope so anyway. It’s starting to shape up now and really come together.

If you’re interested in attending or being a part of it in some way, then take a look at this page on the SoundLab web site.

When I went to visit Bare Conductive

I went to see Bare Conductive the other day to talk to them about the SoundLab event we’re running at NESTA later this month. Bare Conductive is just one of so many companies who are being super helpful.

I’ve been a fan of Bare Conductive for a long time now and they’re doing even more interesting things with the TouchBoard and conductive ink. I hope to be able to show you what I’m doing with the TouchBoard and how we’re going to use it at the SoundLab playspace event, so expect some more posts on the subject soon.

Getting a Philip Rees V3 MIDI thru unit

I used to have one of these ages ago and it was incredibly useful. But sadly I got rid of it. Why? Good question, I’m not even sure now. But I needed a new one even though I had the V4 as well. The big difference with the V3 is that it has its own power from a little PP3 (9v) battery inside. That means that it can power devices that draw vampiric MIDI power, such as the two MIDI vampires I’ve got.

All in all a very useful device indeed.

I haven’t used the Pebble Time music app that much to be honest, but the other day when I did I found it to be really useful, almost like a tiny second screen for my iPhone. It was funny to see my own name and track on there though.

It makes me think that I should really explore what the Pebble could do a bit more.

A visit to the Science Museum: “Cosmonauts, Birth of the Space Age”

I’ve always been interested in space. I’ve always been interested in the history of it and this exhibition reminded me about a lot of the things I’d heard about and lived through in the 70’s. When the space race was at its height, when the USSR was launching Soyuz missions and the Salyut Space Station was being used. There was so much good stuff in there, so many interesting artifacts.

It was exciting. It was amazing, and this exhibition took me back there and reminded me a lot of what it had been like when those events happened. I think it’s also given my interest in space a bit of a nudge too. I’ve always been interested, but I haven’t done much about it for a long time. Perhaps I should now, perhaps I will.

A quick reminder for the SoundLab Play Space coming up soon this month

I’ve posted on this before, but here’s a little reminder. This event will be completely amazing, or at least I hope so anyway. It’s starting to shape up now and really come together. So I plan to be posting a few more details about the event quite soon and show some of the things I’m going to do be doing and showing there, and some of the amazing people who’ll be there.
