I am a pixeller and I love the BBC Micro and VR
Just been trying out the Cherry B3. Sounds very nice to my ears. Think I prefer it to the competition. I know by b3's!

There is a bundle deal on at the moment. To think you can buy a b3 vst sounding this good for 10 quid. Amazing. I owned a Korg CX3 in early 80s but this sounds much better

The Stylophone sampler looks cool. Sometimes you want to buy something there and then but it's annoying to have to wait.

Finally get to try out Cherry Audio's interesting Additive synth Harmonium. What a beautiful looking vst.
Cherry Audio make great vst interfaces. Arturia joint first....

They should have called it Storm Grotty coz that's what it was on my evening commute. I didn't see any flying trapolines or cows or even a bin knocked over

If only I could unlock the mysteries of Illusionist. It made such fantastic images.
If A.I is good for anything then it's doing this kind of thing......reverse engineering.
It's a time consuming old process though with a lot of trial and error.

Not the Tower of London as I first posted
You would think after 50 years of living here I would know the difference

Ok. I have found David Hoskins. Interesting!
People do stuff and never expect anyone is interested 35 years later in your work.

But there is always someone out there - who is still interested in what you did and tinkers.
That's why I say you never know how you can inspire in life.

Now I'm making progress with Euclid.....the next on on my target......Clare's Illusionist.
I have to track down the author - David Hoskins. He also wrote Render Bender.
What a fantastic program Illusionist was. Not easy to use. Fantastic images. No shadows. Fast Texture mapper....very unique

Very impressed with Pebble at CES. They have such a great idea. The simple ideas are the best. A ring that has a year long battery life. It connects to Pebble 2( with weeks of battery life). It records your ideas/conversations (how you invoke it I don't know). Very useful.

You can't beat the look of Euclid and Arclight. The dithering and hues in the pixels. Man it floats my boat.
Even back then there was something I liked about it and I appreciate it all the more now in our glossy sheen world of A.I

Used a bit of A.I for the background. Is that cheating lol
Dunno. Asked it to do it in the style of the pixels.

It looks fab with the Arclight render.
