Off to the workshop to make some last minute changes to my Vio Gurdy before Chateau d’Ars!
I did another Vio Gurdy Video: Foggy Dew: http://youtu.be/C30D9QH-wIc
The undocumented compositions and noodlings are stacking up. Time for a two-hour slog to get them all ABC’d
Wooo! Came up with a new (AFAIK) Hurdy Gurdy technique.
Got an invite to the @soundcloud beta — Finally I don’t have to fake my UA string to listen to audio! Thank you!
Doing a fret dress whilst listening to Peter Gabriel. I love my job.
Playing my Gurdy and the 1920s Winsor banjo I’ve just repaired is humming along.
I love living in a household where, triggered by me whistling a bar of a tune from Riverdance, half the family picks it up and it echoes through the house
11.5ms is optimum remote musical collaboration latency! Or so Stanford tell us: http://opensoundcontrol.org/files/gurevich-latency.pdf
Pyo tip: Turn down the master volume if you’re getting nasty scratches + pops in your recordings
I used to think that us Brits, collectively, were a bit rubbish at making trad folk songs new
Then I found out about Solarference.
Wow.
My contribution to jubilee celebrations: played at Holbeton’s St. Party. It was huge for such a small village, very impressive!
Achievement Unlocked: Successfully navigated French booking system. I’m coming to Chateau d’Ars this year.
Nice to hear a song about luthiers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8dFohVOJEM
The new Kipling ad music sounds very much like the wendigo by Steve Tyler
My first real attempt at a Gurdy track in Ableton Live. Made in about three hours of live looping, then a live mixdown http://soundcloud.com/barnabywalters/plastic-hill-concrete-dale
Playing with Ableton Live Lite, courtesy of @SoundCloud. Counter intuitive but flexible. I like it.
