It must be about time for a couple more #sheep photos.
#smallholding #rural #farming #ryeland #valaisblacknose

Good morning, a wee break before drain reconstruction work starts again. Have a good #sundaymorning #weekend #breakfast #coffee
Two white coffee cups on a slightly weathered outdoor table. One with a strong Americano the second a creamy cappuccino. Herb planting and a very cropped out of focus view of a house.

Building an #immersive #sound #studio is a great plan :-)
Update from previous posting.
I'm still at the digging out drains stage. That isn't in any way related to gain staging.
Outside view of a long traditional agricultural barn, known as a steading. Blue sky and trees in the distance in the foreground is a wheel barrow and tools for digging. Evidence of a dug trench receded into the corner of the steading.

It's been a while since I posted a #sheep photo. Today is going to get very warm, fortunately we have plenty of shady spots to hang about in. #dumfriesandgalloway #scotland #smallholding #farming #sunshine
Collection of sheep in the early morning hazy sunshine grazing happily. Tree and bushes in the background.

Drainage part 1 completed. Need to ensure that the new sound studio will remain dry.
This is a land drain to take excess water away into the adjacent sloping field.
Traditional single storey farm building with stone walls a slate roof and a wooden door. Broken slate has been arranged as a covering for a new land drain.

I've hatched a plan to build an immersive audio space alongside a music studio in the barn next to my house. First steps are sorting out drainage, electrics and some internal construction. So I guess the music output will take a while :-)

I tried a VCVrack version just for fun. Maybe will add it to Patchstorage later.
Modular VCVrack layout with LFO's, Filter, Delay, Reverb and Mixer linked with coloured cables.

Working on a presentation for #SonicLabs at the end of this month. The fun part of this is revisiting lots of #modular #patches and thinking about #sounddesign more closely.

This is a #noinput patch with feedback loops from a minimal signal from one LFO which is fed through a delay and some reverb.
Screenshot of MiRack software modular layout consisting of 3 LFO's, a 4 channel mixer, a delay, a reverb module, and 2 VCF modules. Coloured cables connect the modules. Lots of dials and sliders with different colours.

Just tipped past 300 followers. Thank you so much whoever you are.
Here are some sheep ;-)
3 inquisitive sheep looking to camera, rural landscape, soft orange glow from morning sunshine, frosty ground. A group of Oessant sheep looking expectantly and hoping for food. Low morning sunshine, frosty ground, rural scene and blue sky.

#Frosty #morning #landscape
Some outdoor jobs to do, then a warm studio beckons.

Thanks for all the new follows. Welcome. My morning ritual involves feeding hens and ducks, walking the dog and checking the sheep.

Is this the new exercise machine? Fun to be had in any case. #drums #electronic #alesis #music #letsplay

I don't own a hardware synth (yet) so everything I use is IPad, VCV Rack and Ableton Live.
Having so much fun with these though :-)
This is my stripped back performance setup.
Small footprint set up for improvisation performance includes iPad, IMac and two midi keyboards.

So still a newby here. Seems old Twitter ish more than Mastodon is, but I like it there too.
Thinking I may try a different approach with this platform. More chatty and more focussed on #sound #music #art
Though there may also be #sheep
Ouessant ewe looking directly to camera with small flock grazing amongst newly planted trees.
