G’luck with it. Sampling is so much fun!

Koala Sampler » Home Koala Sampler is the ultimate pocket-sized sampler for making beats in seconds, for iOS and Android. Import or record samples, 24 built-in effects.

If you want to dip your toe into the world of sampling without forking over much cash at the moment, give the Koala app a shot. Has similar functionality/workflow to a SP404 (can even hook them up together) but on yer phone/tablet for 5 bucks…

Robin Holloway should never go to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory… I fear it would end badly for him…

I s'pose you are goin' a-whalin', so you'd better get used to that sort of thing.

Absolutely. It’s an open and welcoming culture! We’ve been saying happy Dé Tú Tá all day, so I guess that’s the way to do it!

… at the weekend we are having a Dé Tú Tá festival…
Is a lot of fun to buy into yer kid’s imagination…

For the last couple of years my son has been creating a very complex mythology about a civilisation called the Dregaileans… as part of this mythology their most sacred day is the 3rd of March. This is day is called Dé Tú Tá. Today our family decided to celebrate it as a real holiday…

Hard to wrap yer head around the fact that we live in a world where some people think it’s ok bomb a school, yet here we are… Gaza was a blueprint…

Congrats on your new post, Robert!

Sorry to hear, Aidan… hope you’re ok.

My life’s quest is to cook the perfect oeuf mollet. This is not it, but not far off it… (maybe 45” overdone)

Incredible!

Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

A children’s book about storms. The cover has a low quality photo of a man opening a car door caught in a snow storm. In the foreground a cartoon lady in 90s winter apparel looks very happy and has a speech bubble stating ‘I like storms!’

The Many Eras of Richard Youngs From minimalism to prog rock, jungle to playing guitar with his feet, Youngs has done it all.

Very nice 2024 Bandcamp feature on the many iterations of Richard Youngs 150+ album discography. Richard is playing Dublin, possibly for the first time(?) somehow? on March 21st in Curveball with the splendidly enigmatic Katie Gerardine O'Neill also playing

Forever changed by Éliane Radigue's music. Now she has gone into a vast silence. Thank you.

"I told you... you ask me a question and after that you have to take a Kalashnikov to stop me!" I think about Eliane & her work often; beyond bedrock for me, but it was hearing her describe her music in the most animated, matter-of-fact way that sticks out; R.I.P.
