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.

Getting to grips with meeblip

Just a few shots of my new meeblip synth and trying it out in a variety of ways.

OMD, Metroland, and playing things to death

I listened to this on Spotify and was really impressed by how good it was. Very well produced synth pop music. In many ways what you’d expect from OMD. So I played it for a few days and now I’m starting to move on again. I’ve probably over listened to the Metroland remixes and had enough, for now anyway.

So i makes me wonder what is it that gets us to obsessively listen to something for a while, a few days usually in my case, and then move on. Of course, it could just be me, but I don’t think so. I do know that a few of my friends are like this too. It comes in cycles usually. I’ll listen to something intently for a while then put it down, then in a few months or years I’ll come back to it and rediscover just how good it is. I suppose that’s the thing with ‘pop’ music isn’t it.

I saw this and knew that if I bought it there might be trouble

It’s just one of those subjects that’s been there in the back of my mind for a long time, and when I saw that SOS had a feature on modulars I knew I had to get a copy and see what they had to say.

After a quick glance it looks like it’s a good thorough piece, which is probably a bad thing in many ways as it’ll mean I more likely to get hooked.

Oh dear …
