So after years of wanting one of these I’ve finally got one, and it wasn’t cheap, but it is lovely, and I’m looking forward to spending a bit more time with it and getting used to how it works and how to get it to make some awesome noises.

Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
Loving Barcodas and finding out about bar codes
I do like the idea of made from things that don’t normally make music. Hence I like barcodas. The idea of making little snippets of music from bar codes is very appealing. To me anyway. The interesting thing, at least, interesting to me anyway is that different types of bar codes seem to have very different properties. So for instance, using bar codes taken from books, these all sound the same, at least the first few notes do. Bar codes taken from cereal boxes are quite different.
So I had a little idea for a barcodas project that I think I’m going to try out soon.
Blancmange … Semi Detached
Well, I’ve got my tickets for the world premiere of this. Really looking forward to it.
Searching for a pocket calculator
Well, I’ve searched and searched and can’t find a digital version of this anywhere. I really wish I could as their version is better than the original in my view.
But of course, this would be much better …
After my last post it occurred to me that I have a much better machine for cassette playback. One that will almost certainly deliver better quality, and it was almost completely staring me in the face.
I think I might try this next!
Old 4-track gives me a new idea
I saw this the other day as I was looking for something else and had remembered that I’d bought it so I could retrieve some old 4 track tapes from complete obscurity. I had some notion that I’d revive the tracks and even add to them. Who knows if that would’ve ever worked out. However, at the time when I bought it I didn’t go ahead with the plan as this 4 track doesn’t have multiple track outs. It only has a stereo out, which kind of ruined the idea. My very first cassette 4-track was an X-15 which did have 4 outs, but sadly this doesn’t.
Anyway, as I saw it the other day I had a new idea of how to make this work. So, when I can get some time to set it up I might try and get it working.
If I do, you’ll hear about it. I it fails, we’ll never speak of it again …
I do wonder what, if anything will happen to the molecule synth …
The map
I am still a fan of the molecule synth and all its modules. I think it is a great idea, and when I was looking over old images I remembered that there was the promise of other modules too. My guess is that these are unlikely to happen now, but some of them would have been nice.

I thought I’d post these as I’d not got around to putting them here.
I wish I could’ve been there for this
Since I first heard Martyn Bennett’s Grit I’ve been a fan, and so sad to know that his untimely departure means we will never hear anything new from his amazing musical talent. Even so, it’s good to know that his musical legacy lives on.
I wish I could’ve been there for this, but even though I can’t I’m just glad that it’s going on.
