I’m probably spending at most a forth of the time watching movies that I do watching Red Letter Media’s reviews of movies. Sometimes movies I haven’t even seen.

Intriguing. What on earth are you researching with this survey? :)
Yes, by HBO I off course meant HBO Nordic. Sorry about any confusion.

Good morning. [turns on mic] Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. [pauses] Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We’re fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
– President Whitmore, Independence Day (1996)
Går det att göra musik på avstånd? Flera musikaliska akter prövar detta på grund av det rådande läget. Musikproducenten och docenten Henrik Carlsson diskuterar.
Jag pratade radio i Nordengren & Epstein i P1 i förra veckan. Segmentet jag var med i handlade om att spela musik tillsammans samtidigt som vi distanserar oss socialt.
(Det stämmer inte att jag är docent.)
Damn the torpedoes. Allow me to present, a work in progress – and absolutely not finished, a new look of my blog.
One of the best signs of spring and summer is that I get the urge to tinker with my blog. Right now I’m going through very old posts and making sure that the images in them aren’t broken. Also, I think I’m going to redo the blog’s theme from scratch.
Here’s some thought I wrote down for myself late yesterday.
I have the same experience. A few of my students speak up in the large group but it’s pretty much the same students that used to talk the most in lectures on campus as well.
In smaller groups it works much better. The breakout rooms of Zoom is a nice tool for that.
The chat is a different beast. There they tend to be quite chatty. Lot’s of good questions, and sometimes answers to each others questions, and also quite a lot of internet humour, text based memes, etc. In one lecture I had to tell them to back off on the silliness in the chat so valuable questions and/or answers didn’t disappear in the flood of jokes.
. So far I’m happy with it, though I think I realised what I compromised on by buying such a comparatively cheap polyphonic synth (as compared to say a Prophet 12 or something). I would like a whole bunch more modulation, both sources and destinations.
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?

18 januari, 2020 09:17To 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 …
