Noticing

/309 - Sundaze

This is a picture of a wren. I thought I saw one for the first time the other day, but have been doubting myself because it was quick and I haven’t seen it again. Tonight just before dusk I heard a lot of sound coming from the back porch and spied this little one singing its heart out. Then it flew up and hid in one of the hanging plants. It was too dark so the picture blurred. Still happy about it.

This is a short recording of some piano and pitched loops. Happy about it.

/259 - Saturdaze

A very busy and tiring day. We did a lot of work around the house and in the yard. Totally wiped out, but feel very good about the state of things.

Here’s a recording of my first test using the 4 channel setup on the H4N to get environmental sounds to go with the line out from my mixer. Piano improv into norns running Barcode. I think it turned out pretty well.

/008 - SoundBow

Spent the morning with one of my favorite iPad apps — Soundbow. It’s: buggy, midi out doesn’t always work, and doesn’t run in the background. It’s also: beautiful and meditative and capable of generative wonders. I should send this to Fennesz for a finishing touch. Haha

We went to get our Christmas tree in the afternoon, and of course I came back with pictures of shape, contrast, and texture instead of pictures of people or trees. All in all a pretty great Sunday.

/004 - Compass

Some minimal morning piano sounds, courtesy of the lovely Compass script running on a monome norns.
