A freshly washed border terrier looks up at the camera in disgust. He stands over a poster for a three day festival that one of his people is organizing. He is muttering “You said you wouldn’t do that again you asshole”

You'll very soon be able to connect @bsky.app to your @venuecms.com account and instantly publish your events to the decentralised web. This @smokesignal.events screenshot shows events I simply updated at @edition-festival.com after hooking it up. Super excited for what this makes possible !

Today I announced this release that is in the making. Music by guitarist Finn Loxbo that I recorded and mixed. The artwork is from a painting by MSR + FCJ. finnloxbo.bandcamp.com/album/lummer...

I think they played for two weeks (22 Nov — 4 Dec). It’s just that the last two days were recorded for this release, right?

Slowly getting ready for concert in Copenhagen at the end of the month. Converting these speakers to receive wireless signals instead of internal computer. Will combine with PA system and some FM Radio action. Video is speaker receiving Hordijk filter pings.
Half a spherical speaker spins back and forth.

Jag har träffat en människa som minns.
I går. Det vill säga, jag träffade honom i går.
Men han minns också i går. Han minns att vi träffades i går. Vi träffades faktiskt redan i förrgår, men vi talade inte med varandra förrän i går. Han fick ett namn i går. Han heter Henry Dale, och jag behöver inte berätta för honom att tiden har kört fast.
Det är något han vet.

Main mic array for solo acoustic guitar recording today with Finn Loxbo. Kind’ve ridiculous but sounds fantastic. This lot flanked by two Omni microphones up out of shot. Only the second outing for the centre mic: a gyraf g7 with Tim Campbell CT12.
An array of five large microphones arranged as two stereo pairs on top of each other and one centre mic. Background is a white walled studio environment with different types of acoustic treatment.
