Roger And Brian Eno Reveal How They Made Their Tranquil New Album Together – All Songs Considered
Way too messy lecture-streaming setup.
@MrHenko Thanks for giving it a read! I was in kind of a similar boat of using it, but always manually. Given the ’time at home’ I figured I would see what I could do! 😀
Both Linn and the kids fell asleep on the couch in front of the tv, so I guess I’m treating myself with a white lady and some short-stories.
Nice work this week, Henrik. Nice work! patting myself on the shoulder
Tips and Tools for Improving your Remote Meetings and Presentations on a Budget
I got an 11 a few mounts ago and it is an amazing phone in every aspect except the screen’s none-existing scratch resistance. It almost appears to get scratches but light photons.
Other then that, a truly great phone!

The second part of my Christmas gift for myself arrived today; an Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff. Glorious sound!
@MrHenko both 🤷♂️, but more work then play.
My other synth is a DSi MoPho, which is monophonic and its modulation matrix is annoying to program but gloriously flexibel.
So far I don’t have any Volcas but several of those where on the table for me when I decided on which synth to buy. The Volca Modular har more of a Buchla approach to things, rather than a Moog style approach to things, right?
To be fair Henrik, I am still new to the modular world. I think that as Brian Eno would put it, I have been a ‘keyboard player with a few sounds’ (and a poor one at that!) Although I remember listening to the Early Gurus of Electronic Music a long time ago and tinkering what applications like Fruity Loops, I never quite grasps the modular world. What intrigues me is that it is an exploration. This is something Jonny Greenwood touched upon in an NPR interview.
For now I am off to explore the differences in styles …

@MrHenko Drastically reduces cooking time. A potato/broccoli soup I like to make that cooks for 45-60 minutes in a pot on the stove takes less than ten minutes in the Instant Pot.

@MrHenko I was pretty horrified by the power of Instagram aka Facebook. I had no idea. I think I had already quit by the time I watched the documentary, and it confirmed that decision to quit both.
And that’s probably why I feel especially negative toward the idiots on ”the left”, rather than on ”the right”. The stupidities of ”the right” is fairly simple to ignore. Just don’t read their fringe publications. Ignoring stupidities from ”the left” on the other hand would require me to ignore so much mainstream press.

A late Christmas present (from me to me) arrived today. It’s a Korg Minilogue XD. I’ve just started playing with it and it sound great.
That looks nice Henrik. I bought a Korg Volca Modular as a present for me from me at Christmas.
Now I’m unwinding from the day by playing some Mario Maker. Though right now I’m probably winding myself back up over this hellish course. (Not the one in the photo.)
Today the film and television students made a tv production of a floor ball game. It was an outside broadcast production, so they had to set up all their gear in the arena. I was there as a handler, for the first time on one of their outside broadcasts. It was quite a lot of fun.
Great find at the supermarket today. Perfect start to the year of buying things on plastic discs.
Today I’ve been at home with the kids. It’s been a “study day” at their preschool, which means that the staff have meetings and courses so the kids need to be at home.
@MrHenko of course not. But I’ve seen a lot of it
Stayed up way too late tonight watching tv. After an episode of Netflix’s Messiah I started watching the Fyre Festival documentary and it was really fascinating. So many tasteless, clueless idiots.
A week or so ago I ordered some electronics stuff that arrived today. Yay! I’ll get back to making the Raspberry Pi music player soon.
As for today it’s been a day of nothing but administrative tasks. The nice part was that I got to work from home which I always try to do at least once a week and it’s a nice change of pace.
It’s gotta be possible to find a movie okay but not great.
@MrHenko Ctrl-Alt-Ignore them all, go see the movie and try to watch it with a fresh mind, and enjoy the parts you like. 🥳👍
@MrHenko Yeah, I think I see what you mean. I’m of no particular political affiliation, but I guess I’m a bit centrist, with some ideas towards both sides, and some completely my own. I try to get my news from independent sources (if some indeed can be called independent), and otherwise I read with those “ah, of course they’ll say that, being one of them”-eyeglasses. It’s tiresome, but I feel I need to get some information. There’s a lot of good info here on micro blog and the connected blogs too.
Was it that the commentary helped in expressing his intentions with the movie, or where they just fun/interesting comments?
@MrHenko So his comments enabled me to understand more of his intentions. I think it was very ambisious. I’m not sure I felt he succeeded. And in that lies some of my issues with the movie I guess.
2020 is the year when I start buying plastic discs again.
@MrHenko thanks. I’ll probably find I introduced a load of new bugs in the background 😂 but it was good to have one hit at it and get it down
Today was another day of mostly administrative work. I did have one two-hour lecture on Mastering Music for Streaming Platforms but other than that I was mainly at my desk.
I did manage to complete scheduling and room booking for the next course that I am in charge of, even though it doesn’t happen until April. That made me happy and I now feel that I have many administrative things under control.
