I'm gonna be cheeky and link directly to the Motherboard synth section on this video of Westwood Instruments' brand new Novella Carbon sample library, so you can hear the synth sounds I made for it. :)

The magic beer strikes again. Four hours at the pub last night, multiple pints drunk and absolutely zero hangover or any clue that I came home pissed at all.
Lovely magic beer.

You know, American history is full of tales of people travelling across the land in search of opportunity and prosperity, so I don’t…
Oh, wait. And then murdering everyone that already lived there.
Ah.

My stomach hasn’t been right all day and I am very much going to blame these crisps for that.
I tried Henderson’s relish flavoured crisps tonight.
And whilst I hadn’t actually asked the question: “What would it taste like if you combined Worcestershire sauce, brown sauce and vinegar?”, I am now the reluctant owner of that information.

At this time of year I like to look for some forgotten and obscure Christmas music to add to the kitchen playlist (which is currently days long rather than hours).
And always those searches return some numbnuts suggesting Fairytale Of New York or “that Taylor Swift one.”
Very obscure, guys.

Watching a very enjoyable TV series with an absolutely absurd central conceit.
Lola Dewaere from Astrid In Paris plays Sherlock Holmes’ French great grand-daughter.
Yes. This show is built in the idea that Holmes was a REAL person and that for some reason his descendants are… French?!
