/126 - Looops

We didn’t go outside for a walk today, but we probably should have because I think we’re all a bit stir crazy. Looks like it’s supposed to be warm again tomorrow so at least we didn’t miss our chance this weekend.

Have been back into playing music again lately — it’s always been my best form of meditation so it’s extra important for me with all that’s going on. The sounds have been a bit hit or miss, but I keep playing and keep recording so I suppose that’s what’s most important. Just keep going.

/078 - The Grid

I just realized that I got my grid one year ago today. It’s something that I dreamt about for a very long time, but I never thought I would actually ever have. When I discovered monome all those years ago, this little box of buttons was an incredible mystery and the sounds and ideas pouring from the community was absolutely bewildering. (It still is.) On top of that, since I’m not a coder I always assumed that I would never be able to contribute, or to translate all the ideas I had that could be realized by the grid — but today, as a result of the norns studies I made it do something. Definitely a baby step, but what a feeling.

Today, coincidentally, I made a little step sequencer (from the study guide, thanks to monome for bringing us all up with them) and it worked — I made the grid go. I mashed a bunch of buttons and pressed play. It reminded me of Underworld - Rez, and I laughed.

So so cool.
