Sound. Film. Sound for film. Music production. TV production. Huskies. Mostly house-building and gardening now. It’s a long story. Mainly here for the dogs and the movies.
Just arrived. I suppose this is my “film-cred” set of Black Friday Blu-ray pickups. Thanks BFI and Curzon/Artificial Eye. Gradually getting that wishlist ticked off. One more set to come.

Spending a week programming my Yamaha Montage has reminded me why I never got into programming my Yamaha Montage. I described it to someone as “An amazing keyboard once you’ve programmed it, a nightmare if you haven’t”. Unfortunately the programming is also a nightmare. I need a lie down.

A reminder: Great movies are great, and they’re worth seeing well if you can. Thanks for posting this.

If anyone wanted to set up a small high-quality live sound company in London right now, they could clean up. All you’d have to do is be competent and professional and not answer the phone with “Yeah, what?” It’s un-bloody-believable.

EBay. All the serial numbers removed. Yours for £5k. Not suspicious at all 😳. Seller is near me. Wonder if it’s the one I had stolen?

Need an instant 70s political thriller night-chase thru city streets soundtrack? Piano. Major triad, root at the top, in a high-ish register. Then add the SHARP root directly underneath. Eg C# E G C. Move it up and down a whole tone at a time. Add groovy percussion and bass part. You’re welcome.

Pro-tip for anyone making cables: I’ve just realised that a standard-sized 76-note keyboard is almost exactly 1 metre long. A tape-measure is obvs more portable, but when you need to know NOW and you have a keyboard in front of you…

Just in, some sale-week Blu-Ray pickups. I’d say left and right about balance each other out.

The message I’m currently getting from Pluribus is: “If you carry on trashing science and scientists you’re going to miss them when they’re gone.” Altho, it was scientists that got the Earth into that mess, so that too.

God it took me a long time to figure out what #AT40 meant. It’s described as “internationally syndicated” but I can tell you, we have zero awareness of the “American Top 40” show here in the UK.

During the evacuation of animals in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, volunteers of the Animal Rescue Kharkiv organization became a 'taxi service' for Ukrainian Defenders.
One of the soldiers jokingly said he'll be an air defense, and that's what actually happened -

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.
He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.
Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.
Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

When you’re temporarily camping out in an old house…
that doesn’t have a kitchen…
and the Ikea workshop shelving isn’t helping…
it’s one cheap sheet of plywood, some leftover varnish and sticky-backed felt, and EMERGENCY CARPENTRY TO THE RESCUE 😳
Desperate times…

I shared this photo a week or so ago on Mani’s birthday
- It never failed to bring a smile to my face - and that was exactly the same for the man himself.
One of the absolute best in every way - such a beautiful friend
