Bullet points.

It's been a while - but in the interim there have been lots of blog-worthy posts. Once I gather my senses, take some cool pictures of the new stuff, and upload some audio, you'll get to see and hear everything I've been up to. In the meantime, I'll post a bullet point list of some cool things.

• Along with Sahy Uhns (my friend Charlie), I've designed, built, and performed with a completely DIY modular synth, using new or modified circuits entirely. It patches right into my Blacet Research system. Four square/tri oscillators, a ring modulator, and a filter at this point. The whole package is very small, and lots of parameters are controllable via control voltage.
• I've posted a few times about the Arduinome that I'm building. I've gone ahead and ordered an enclosure from Machine Collective. It's en route from Europe. Looking forward to integrating it into my live set for both audio and live visuals.
• I've had the chance to use and perform with a Korg Nanopad-- it's very very plastic-y. Still, it's really nice having a $60 controller that includes a pretty decent programming utility (for OS X) - I don't have to worry about having beer spilled on it or whatever.

So yeah-- I want to get some video, pictures, and audio of some of the above points. I'll be sure to post them here when I do!
