My brain still wouldn’t stop shouting at me about the DAY business in the titles of these posts. There. Happy now, brain? Can you shut up for 5 seconds so I can think?
Greetings from my hovel on the shores of the Bow River.
Despite being at home it really feels like things are NOISY right now. I could do with a bit of quiet. Switching off most of the news feeds again for at least the rest of the day. If something important happens I know the information will get to me.
Discovered some really incredible music yesterday. In the early 80s, Ivan Coaquette & Ananka Raghel formed the experimental/electronic space-rock duo Fondation and three cassette only releases (1, 2, 3) they made have been posted to the Internet Archive and I’ve been listening to them all morning. Just outstanding stuff. One of the best things about discovering obscure music is it usually opens up a rabbit hole in which one can find many other obscure delights. I suspect I shall spend some time in this particular burrow today.
One of my oldest and dearest friends observed me idly tweeting about how I was thinking about getting my hands on some kind of synthesizer and making some ambient type music. This fine, young lad swung into action and today delivered to me (while maintaining physical distance, I said he was a good lad!) a KORG Monologue monophonic analogue synthesizer! I am so excited to start messing with this thing. Make some #loops.
