By ENC_ on August 11, 2024 2:54 pm
Finished week of garden care taking. Finished Kobo Abe book. Daily bike rides. Waking late and sleeping late. Trying to regulate. Anxiety over upcoming shows with DO. Festivals coming fast. Work anxiety. Picked up partner's parents from cruise. Initiated band meeting. Met with bandmates for the first time sorted details and worked on vision stuff. Good kick off. Talked with D afterwards about failing health, kids, messed up parental relationships, and life. Excellent to catch up. Talked with M about his family and recovery. Plans laid out. Discussed scoring horror movie. Met with friends and had dinner. Getting more serious about changing career path. Short term employment ok. Mixed. Colder weather now. Missing the dry heat and open spaces. Planning dating anniversary. Thinking of travel. Soldered v-trig to S-trig circuit. Did not work. Needs revisit. Tx81z re-solder memory fix next.Still able to sync oscillators of Mg-1 with eurorack just no trigger. Built randomized techno patch in modular.

Making 80-ish synthpop stuff for gigs. 2 songs this week. Rushed. First is Prince inspired. Second started with Japan inspiration and mixed in other stuff as things went. Vocal experiments removed. Built soungs around live tools bandmates and my self have available. Trying to incoporate signature sounds used at the time. DX7 presets, imitated guitar treatments, tight digital delays, emulator II samples, etc. Band members will fill in the rest and restructure as needed. Drums need refinement and rever treatment. feels a bit dry when held up to 80's pop. More new wave focus next?
