I do like electronics, I’m not sure I understand a lot of it, but I do like it.
Sequencing using Phaedra and the MIDI vampires
Actually, that’s a good name for a band.
A little bit more bleepDrum

Awesome gear from the workshop
Radiophonic workshop live
I was really pleased to get to see the Radiophonic Workshop at WOMAD this year. They did a talk and also a performance as well. Both were really enjoyable.
Trying out the bleepDrum
And then I got my littleBits Arduino Module

I’d almost forgotten that I’d funded these on kickstarter, so when they arrived it was a lovely surprise! I’ve barely had a chance to get to grips with these as yet, but having opened up the software and loaded a sample patch they look like great fun.
Getting some more littleBits time
I finally got some time today to do some more stuff with my littleBits kit. Using the new stuff to get some different outcomes with my kit. It’s so much fun to make stuff with the kit. So many interesting sounds that you can get out of it. Of course I could buy more bits and expand my kit almost for ever. I don’t think it would be too healthy if I did that from a financial point of view though.
So instead I’m starting to try out connecting the kit to other stuff. I already tried this with the molecule synth, which I will try again as it goes, but one of the new bits I got was the mic bit which also has a line input which should allow for some more creative connections.
As always, there’ll be videos …
