But it's alright, it's alright
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're travelling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

Paul Simon, American Tune

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees

Good.

Here's a little tune I wrote in memory of my Grandma called I've Done My Bit 🌻

UK is subsidising forest-burning #Drax power station with around £2 million a day.

Now we hear Gov is considering extending the subsidy past 2027 😡

This is the Emporer’s New Clothes.

Drax is as bad as coal. And everyone knows it.

Agree, and the Expression controller is your friend to make all orchestral instruments (solo and sections) more real

A clip from a little solo arrangement of a jazz standard called My One and Only Love played on a 1980s Gibson L-4 CES owned by my mate Dom Brace, through a Victory V40 Deluxe amp 🌿

Another interesting Polite Rant from @bobbyllew.bsky.social
I enjoy @richardjmurphy.bsky.social
on economics
I'm far too ignorant to know if his ideas are correct but they sound convincing

I live in the UK, I am an audio producer and musician

Good luck with the garden!

I wouldn't blame the fishermen but it would have been better to have left this beautiful creature in the sea

Hello Musa where do you live?

What weekend in the studio with Nicky Campbell and the wonderful @remiharris.bsky.social Hot Club Trio

There must be other columnists out there who can fill that page who wouldn't have us all questioning the sanity of the Editor.

Despite that my father bought a new Sunbeam Stilleto in 1968 which needed a new engine 4 years later

Rather amazing that the Imp family lasted as long as it did
My mother had a 1967 Imp Husky (hearse-shaped estate car version) which burned through a pint of engine oil every 600 miles from new. It also needed a couple of concrete blocks in the frunk to tame the understeer.

Very few remaining credible political sources left on the BBC. Keep it up

Seems nice so far

Or, I could just put 4 Calrecs together like in the film...

Always loved the idea and a couple of engineer friends have Soundfields of various vintages
The Rode looks good value, is it the real deal do you think? And they have a plug in for decoding...

Brilliant
Do you have sound field mic?

I remember writing a review of the Atari version (yes, there was one) for one of the audio mags. I managed to convert some Emulator samples for my Akai S900. There was a way to port audio samples over MIDI
It was ssslllooowww
