Bookmarked Thomas, sjung inte!!!!!! – Nordegren & Epstein i P1 (sverigesradio.se)

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.

The making of a new blog theme

posted this article on and tagged it with Blog Theme 2020 Narrating my work

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.

@jemostrom 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.

Thanks Aaron. 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?

@odd That sounds like a reasonable approach to things.

@petebrown and @macgenie I see, thanks! I’ve never used any kind of pressure cooker so this was new to me. Reading the list of the things the InstantPot can do makes me want one.

@macgenie Same here, but also with the sense of annoyance over all these people – not just Billy – who want to be ”the next Steve Jobs” or who want to make their company ”the Über of [insert whatever]”. So annoyance over start-up culture in general, I guess.

@furstenberg You are kind of selling me on the director’s comments. So far I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie with the director’s commentary track, but maybe this will be the first. Thanks!

@odd You are right, off course. The problem is that I find the ignore part hard to do.

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.
