I’ve been injured for awhile with a torn muscle near my left shoulder blade, damaged muscle in my left shoulder, a foot injury at different stages of healing. Hope be painting and doing photography soon

My last Amazon book delivery for a while. I waited a week for these two books about two of the most talented men in history.

@irkallalustre.bsky.social I did have a few problems to solve with my new set up, and I contacted all the manufacturers for help. I solved most of them and they made suggestions

@irkallalustre.bsky.social sometimes you can learn a lot by joining the community forum for the hardware and software that you use and read the discussions that people have posted

I think you’re correct people in the Facebook group, always used to complain about random problems, popping up because of VSTs. I think I had one minor problem in eight years, which I managed to solve by reinstalling software

I don’t use any VST, so I seem to have less unexplained problems compared with a lot of people. What I’ve got is now excellent for me so I’m very happy. It may not suit other people though

I’m very impressed by it. My old computer died, so I had to buy a new PC and replace my old audio interface with a new SSL interface and a new Arturia Keylab Essential midi keyboard. I was very blown away by the sound through my headphones. It sounded like it was a $10 million recording studio.

If you want to try drawing, but you’re not very confident this is a happy compromise to get you started. Doing a diary, but illustrating it to get your hand eye and brain working together.. it’s not as daunting as doing a painting.

Working on 2 tracks at the moment.!st track 3/4 written & recorded, needs an ending, fx, mixing. 2nd track new tonight, popped into my head at random opening 12 bars recorded. Both have a gothic feel one is lush & dreamy the other is a bit Rammstein/electronica.

I’m having a day off working on my new song today because I was up very late last night. It is 2/3 finished. I just need an ending and then I’ll need some effects and some good quality mixing done. At the moment I’m working on the vocals, trying to widen them and with stereo imaging & using reverb.

Very pumped been writing tonight random no plan have a track which will be completed soon. Currently:
No FX
No transitions between parts
No mixing
Levels not right
BUT Im already happy with the overall feel. Might be able to post on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, High Notes by the weekend

My calligraphy books arrived about an hour ago. Later tonight when it’s cooler, I’ve got to test the thickness of the ink and also the wooden dip and nips and the glass dip pens. I have a feeling I’ll be going out tomorrow to get some other coloured inks and some extra nibs. The nibs feel fragile.

The planet has been like this for over 2000 years. There is a book called angels of our better nature by a guy called Stephen Pinker and he looks at whether violence has got worse or better throughout history and the nature of human beings and violence. It’s worth reading and food for thought.

Nom nom.

@crikeys.bsky.social I got an email letting me know Blue Sky now has 4.5 million subscribers. It doesnt directly say that invitation by code has now stopped but it sort of says it. So Im really not sure about that bit.

Ordered these two books to arrive Monday. Apart from drawing always been fascinated by illuminated medieval manuscripts after seeing some while visiting England when I was a teenager.

#Ableton Push 3 >> write record mix master no monitor no mouse. MPE surround sound. Yeeehaw

Not very expensive either Lee-Anne. I will use them today. The weather is going to be cool so its easier to concentrate.

Glass dip pens , used for writing and drawing. They don’t have a flexible nib like calligraphy pants so they can’t be used for calligraphy. They can be used for writing languages that are simple based like Japanese and Korean and also for things like Icelandic runes

How was the weather in Sweden this morning? 😂

It would be possible to get chocolate thats either a coconut/almond milk base with 80-95% Cacao beans hence miniscule sugar too...havent found such yet.

I just had Home delivery of groceries from the supermarket. I only had to wait outside for the driver for 10 minutes, but it’s absolutely burning hot I felt like my whole body was on fire. The maximum temperature won’t be for another three hours.

I’m still doing my family ancestry. I’ve renewed my membership again. Below you can see the two flags of Normandy as I have some French Norman ancestry. The left one looks Scandinavian, the right one looks like Royal Plantagenet. They are all connected.

I have a second project lined up after the painting I bought a diary which is suitable for painting in. I will be illustrating it like a mediaeval manuscript using the Japanese paints.. they are ideal because the colours are less transparent. I’ve never done calligraphy or illumination before

i’ve also bought about 8 to 10 books recently. Some of them are about watercolour, painting and sketching, and there are also a couple of fiction books. As I read through them. I will give feedback here. I’m hopeful to start a painting today and have it more or less completed by the end of the month

I’ve had a couple of accidents at Christmas and a bit of ill health that’s why I’ve been absent, but I’m back. I received this Japanese watercolour set 45 pans. I also have a smaller set with fewer colours. The paint is different to western watercolours less transparent . #Japan #watercolour

Hello everyone Happy #AustraliaDay
