someone who's doing some things
I really love audiobooks. A good story is the best thing.
I read this recently. It’s quite an interesting little read on the whole. Quite short and to the point, which is handy. But it makes some interesting points about how music changes our brains. Not just listening to music, but also making music, playing music.
For me it isn’t a big surprise, but it’s nice to have it validated. I’ve enjoyed reading it.
Just a quick post following an email I got today. Ableton have put up a very handy page with a bunch of useful things for Ableton users and also non users too. You can find the page here.
In particular you should check out the excellent book Making Music: 74 Creative Strategies for Electronic Music Producers, which is available in multiple formats. I’ve read this more than once and it is very handy indeed.
I thought you should know.
I’ve been meaning to get hold of the book of True Grit and now I’ve got it. I picked up a copy on eBay very cheaply indeed. My only issue with the book is that the cover is of the newer version of the film and not the original, which I would’ve preferred. It’s not a big thing, but it’s just there.
So now it’s less than a month until the final book in the series comes out. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s been a long time coming and in my book it can’t come soon enough.
Another interesting music related book to investigate …
I’ve been looking forward to this book for a while now as it’s a special interest for me. I saw the Radiophonic workshop at WOMAD last year and I’ve always been interested in Delia Derbyshire’s work.
I’ve been a fan of these books since I started reading the first one. This year the last book in the series is due to be released in September. Book 7 will be the last book in the series. I know that they are really children’s books, but I still really like them and have read them all twice now I think.
I’m really looking forward to book 7 so I’ve decided to re-read all of them in the run up to the release of the last book. I’m going to enjoy doing that too.
Mr Feynman is a big hero of mine. He was such a larger than life character, so full of energy and fun and with an incredible intellect as well. I really enjoyed “Surely You’re Joking Mr Feynman”, and “What do you care what other people think”. So when I was given this graphic novel about him I was over the moon.
It’s was great to have something new to read about him. I’m looking forward to enjoying it.
I found it really interesting to see Dante’s house. I more or less stumbled over it as I didn’t really know that you could visit it. Whilst it wasn’t amazing I’m glad I went to see it.
