Discovered the notice on the top here at the last minute, and spent an hour snoozing to some nice music. I especially liked "Opus 56" (I think it was called), after which I gave in and fell asleep.

And another Friday night arrives! Shameless plug for our three Friday night shows!

Another Friday, more ephemera. This will be a build on the past shows, in that the Ephemera show is kind of like the endless soup pot. I build upon the past shows. And throw new things into the pot.

This week's Ephemera will be an accompaniment to ambient recordings.

I have been making increasing use of the Neuron as a sound source, and that will continue with this show. There will be some cameos of other parts of the studio as well.

Show 5, May 1 2009

Continuation and development of show 4

The show alternated between mellow ambient and rhythmic electronic.

There is some kalimba played by my son at the beginning.

Much of this is Kleemania.

Some notable timbres with the Wretch Machine.

Show 3, April 17, 2009

The first full Ephemera...

This was a pretty good show, as far as I am concerned. This used the PEK more than before, and the Neuron and Nord got used a lot.

The whole show was improvised. This show was notable as foundations for the next few shows, interesting to see the evolution, if you work backwards from later shows.
