Adrian Bruce

I just came back from the cinema to see it here at the first session. Loved it.

Our car comics, pen on paper & vector drawn.
Just one of those things I wanted to do.
Heavy 8 string fan fret guitar and synths this time. Lydian 145BPM.

Freak Kitchen & Rikugo LIVE! Club Quattro Osaka 2025/9/16: Behind The Scenes It was truly amazing to see Freak Kitchen LIVE this week. It was billed as first time in 22 years , but Mattias said this week was actual...

Seems little point posting anything here at all recently... but here you go.

Been decades since been to a gig like this. AND next week have the Urasawa Naoki's Music/Drawing gig 😀

Will be heading off in a bit to Osaka for the Feak Kitchen/ Rikugo gig. Have a Hotel 4min from the venue for tonight so can chat and not have to rush home on one of the last trains. Have stickers to give away too😀

Are SHORTs only relevant because all of us have been bombarded with short advertising? This is revised version of one of my own fairly popular attempts, and no one cares less about the music, just the silly monster. 🤔

Got this 2021 MORTTAI-NAI project to load and use my current plugins and IRs in the New Win11 PC. Changed drums and central guitar. Oh, what a waste so much is, and Freak Kitchen was such an influence, so recently...

Thought a couple of months or so ago posting on Bluesky wasn't worth the effort. So others think the same?
Think all social media enshitafacation is getting to the "MySpace is finished" point...

Freak Kitchen Osaka Live Sep 16, revised!
Looking forward to it. Haven't been to such a concert in decades! Just hope my old phone doesn't break down or such with the phone only ticketing system. 😀
22 years since their last tour of Japan.

The Sibilance in Ghosts makes repeating it a shhh shh shhhh that de-essing doesn't easily remedy. Needs more work or a more alternative word...

So 60 seconds of URASAWA NAOKI's "Yurei", but in English with Synths and METAL GUITAR🤘
He actually sings "no one else can see us", which may make sense in Japan, but "only having eyes for each other" is an Idiom in English for a couple in love.

Recent Rick Beato video on his constant battle with Record Labels and their claims over music clips on his channel. But how come YouTube isn't listening and doing something about constant, invalid claims, from the same companies? No bans, like they do to content creators themselves?

Loved the DEVO documentary.

YouTube video by New Economic Thinking The Fall of Intel

CEOs that have focused on shareholder value have ruined their companies future e.g.Intel.
Apple gave leadership of high-end semiconductors to Taiwan because of their focus on Shareholder Value rather than the cheaper investment in their own capability and future.

Win11 2025/8/12 Update Trashing your SSD Have only had my Win11 up and running for almost 3 weeks now and it is very disappointing to see Update KB5063878 causing this chaos. It a...

A Blog post with some details and thoughts...

A Win11 Steam based game machine destroying bug, that after a week or so still has no solution,☹️.
So Microsoft, having replaced developers with AI thinks that is all fine...😮

Win 11 last update KB5063878 TRASHES SSDs if you do lots of big file writes, like extracting big archives e.g. games.

I don't seem to have any problems ...yet. My music/ animation stuff doesn't do that, but guess the next Win11 update will☹️

Not Everything Needs to Be A Masterpiece Have read that more than a few times lately. Probably a few time just on Bluesky.   But is it being said as world weary advice or an attempt...

Whitlam did the same with free Uni late 70s, how I went in fact, and my mother was against that too!😡
People will "study something like arts for free", she would say. "But think of the cancer curing doctors and scientists we could get!" I would say.

Murdoch was against anything he wasn't going to get a cut of, and his media tried to kill it completely. My idiot mother at the time would visit and repeat the BS. We "can't afford it" and talking COST and not INVESTMENT in country infrastructure!😡

Think this is a general "Australia problem" and NBN is just a good example. Had much trouble with them too. When it finally worked it was almost as good as the cable had before NBN. The FETCH TV they thru in though was awesome when it finally all worked.
No issues and much faster fibre here in 🗾!

First time went to ROLAND USA/NAMM 1988? met Jim Mothersbaugh. Seemed a shy guy, and going on the Roland Knottsbery Farm stage to promote xxx to all the dealers didn't look like it sat well with him. 🤔 Didn't really talk much...

YouTube video by Edgar Aldrett Devo - "Beautiful World"

DEVO documentary was really interesting. Smart guys with something worthwhile to say. And an audience that didn't get what they were saying...

Such a smart contrast to THE DIRT & STRAIGHT OUT OF COMPTON...

YouTube video by Adrian Bruce - Megacurve Synths & Guitars

Kids and grandson went back home yesterday after a week stay with us. Wonderful when they visit, and so good when they leave again. The cats are much happier too.

Synths & Guitars, and I don't care if that isn't in fashion... #music #comic

Audio Nerding Out.
So made an EQ matching my phones sound on music. Allows to me to check my mixes in the DAW and change it to suit, if I could be bothered😄.
But, if you are listening on a Phone Speaker, you don't care about quality...

Will be grandfathering for the next week with kids and grandson visiting from Chiba. 😀
If things go as they did the last 2 years, I will spend the following 2 weeks recovering from the lurgy they brought with them. 😟
