Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.

This is not helping my craving for modular synths
I saw this at Brighton Mini Maker Fair, which was just great, but machines like this do nothing for my growing craving for a real hardware modular. Anyway, it was nice to meet Mr Thonk (I don’t think that’s his name) from Thonk Synth.
Loving these MIDI Vampires from Open Music Labs

They’re pretty amazing for how big they are and considering that they don’t even need separate power at all. I have some ideas on how to integrate them into my music.
Edinburgh Festival: The Bridge by Benjamin Scheuer
To say that this was a moving performance would be a huge understatement. It was incredibly emotional and Benjamin poured his heart and soul into it. I love the songs and the craftsmanship that they showed. In fact, so much so that I bought the album on vinyl. It’s well worth it.
His material is also available for free on SoundCloud too.
European Splendour EP from John Foxx and Jori Hulkkonen
European Splendour
CD by John Foxx
and Jori Hulkkonen
I’ve always liked the collaborations between John Foxx and Jori Hulkkonen and this is no exception. This time I bought the CD / 12″ bundle, which is really nice. I did take me a little while to get into the tracks, but having taken the time to listen to them properly I really like them now.
Korg Monotron Delay and Molecule Synth
Some experimenting with Chordion and Master Record
Listening to Venice, in Venice
An obvious choice of album to listen to whilst in the city.
