Organising molecule

With some of the modules in my molecule synth there are multiple inputs but none of them are labelled, so I thought I’d label mine up to make it easier to use. This is actually twice as much fun as I get to use a label machine too.

The only downside is that I can’t get the code for the MIDI module to load. I’m sure it’ll get sorted soon enough though.

Bare Conductive Cards

I found this stuff at the V&A Digital Design Weekend. It’s great fun to use and the card kit is excellent. For £10 (I think) you get three cards and all the components to make them into little electronic greeting extravaganzas. What more could you want?

The actual conductive ink is sticky stuff and requires a little patience, but it’s worth it for the finished product.

The Portico Quartet Live

This was the most inspiring performance of WOMAD this year. The Portico Quartet were amazing, their ability to improvise and produce intricate cross rhythms was absolutely brilliant.

It was great to see them and it made me rethink what I’m doing musically.

The Sphero is on the go

I’m really intrigued by the idea of physical objects interacting with the real world, which is why I decided to get a Sphero ball. It’s a very interesting device, and there are a few apps that work with it, including especially Shapesynth, which makes some amazing sounds.

So I’m just getting started now on this, and starting to think about how I can use Sphero in a variety of different settings.
