Some good news...

Part of the RSPB-led Beach Nesting Birds Project, at Eccles, Norfolk has seen 455 Little Terns fledge – up from 319 chicks across East Norfolk in 2019 and the highest number since the colony began in 2002.

It's dark.
But there is a lot of light out there.
If you look.
Goddam beautiful day.

GAH!

The CAT is really frustrating, while also great.
The WASP is lush & equally as frustrating.
Got both from Gear4Music.
Tried them?

All so wonderfully confusing.
Still great fun though.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 20h

Not on the analogues.
Just the notes.
Which is odderer because the analogues are clones of synths made decades (?) before MIDI.
But, nope, have to have MIDI.

hey ho.
Thanks for indulging me.

I thought that I could by-pass MIDI...Nope.
Odd, that.

A good day at work.
(At fucking last.)
Even better was getting home & doing more experiments on this.

4 synths connected by wires & cables. Very sexeh.

hilliatfields.bsky.social @hilliatfields.bsky.social · 21h

If yer interested...MIDI sends the notes - patch cables send...um...gubbins.
:-)
90mins of experimenting.

But why use both? I want to go home to experiment.

Hang about...if I'm connecting synths via patch cables then why am I also using MIDI?

Ever get the sense that a wall is trying to speak? At Waltham Abbey, this battered surface tells of remarkable survival — latent with memory. #thread

A weathered wall at Waltham Abbey built from mixed stone and brick, showing centuries of repairs, textures, and layers revealing its long architectural history.

Looks like what happens when you change contractors half way through the project.

This rings a lot of bells.

I once had a client tell me that the mathematically circular circles 'weren't round enough' because they'd fecked up the aspect ratio of their monitor...

Doing some colour profile adjustment & it’s reminded me of the time I had to change a web site’s colours because the client company’s IT dept had bought everyone terrible monitors and they wouldn’t accept it looked right for the rest of the world
