More from that session. Ziggy demands I photo his cuteness for the world. #cat #whitecat #catinabox #heterochromia #polydactyl #cute #sunday #catunday #everydayiscaturday
Ziggy, the white cat, nestled into a cardboard box looking up at you with different colored eyes. He looks very relaxed. Pretty much the same as the previous picture, except Ziggy is looking slightly off to the right Similar to the first picture with Ziggy, looking at you straight on at a slightly different angle Ziggy earlier sitting in his white fake-wool cat-bed, lounging very comfortably with his rear left foot dangling off the edge, and an empty box of lions mane on the floor next to him

It’s #catunday, and Ziggy is actually becoming more and more of a box-loving cat! He wasn’t interested in boxes earlier in his life, he was more into paper…but now, he gets all cozy.

And he is fully aware that he is cute. Yes.
He is. Aware of that. Always. FYI. Yep.

Yeah, they sent out a letter indirectly warning us of this, and there is a very specific line that obviously means that the prices are going to go up. Opportunistic Jerks.

New “Recording Projects Notes” paperback notebooks! They’re here! Looks beautiful. Lulu.com did such a great job at printing these.
The front cover of the“recording project notes“ notebook I created so that others can enjoy the set up that I’ve been using for years A picture of the back of the recording project book which has a red hue and darker tones to it, it has an ISBN number The inside pages which repeat themselves throughout the book: on the left side, you have a series of rows with several columns for track number, take number, information about the piece being recorded, and comments; the right side has general note information, information about the clients, information about the HARDWARE used, and a checkbox-to-do list for finishing up the project and getting paid In the beginning and end of the book, there are pages that are devoted to contact, Client, Musician, Info, so all of your information is in one place. I’ve used this system for years, and it really makes a difference, also takes a lot of stress out of looking for various bits and pieces of information, especially when a deadline looms quickly ahead.

So, I do a simple google search of "effin_izzy" to see what is being posted in my name, as someone had alerted me- and THIS shows up as the FIRST result. My name and an ad for gluten-free bread instead of my profile description under my name. WTF. @support.bsky.team

Today I will be doing a 90 min set of covers and original songs for the “SynthON Voice-OFF” at 7 PM EST USA. I’ve worked hoard to put together a fun program of tunes that mean something to me. I hope you’ll join me at www.twitch.tv/effin_izzy or GSG.live #singing #song #electronicmusic #strange
Some hilarious and encouraging comments from an enthusiastic chat while I was rehearsing the other night More supportive comments during the open rehearsal Surreal blue/green with orange-yellow hints of a room with a mic stand with mic in the center Poster for the event that lists the many performers

Last night’s open rehearsal went better than I thought it did. I needed that boost. Chat was so encouraging, that I ended up “getting over myself”, lol. Psyched to be performing a bunch of songs on Saturday. #music #songs #covers #originals #twitch #

I forgot to turn off auto update on ABLETON, and next thing I know- I realize it updated to 12.3…and all sorts of weird things happened with midi timing…gah.

Not a good time for this to happen! Derp on me…

the Ekvipmehnt Deemun has now arisen…again
The Ekvipehnt Deemun is a pen and ink drawing I made in my studio notebook after I had suffered through multiple bouts of mechanical chaos, all sorts of mysterious problems that seemed to get better once I thought I had them figured out, yet caused another problem. It’s almost impossible for me to describe this image, but it’s a round crosshatched body with text inside (crossed out) with some kind of girder structure, sticking out on the right side of a giant pair of lips and teeth (which is drooling down into a pile which you can’t see at this point which has the words “mechanical chaos”).

Excited as I just uploaded my Studio RECORDING NOTEBOOK, a generic version for folks to use. I have one specific to my studio, but I thought others could use it too. It will be available via the www.lulu.com bookstore in the near future. Here's the cover. I use it all the time, keeps track of stuff.

First client recording session in the DUNGEON in a while, it was refreshing to do this again. Back in the saddle... #recording #music #studio #client

Last night was an open-rehearsal- I crashed and burned a bunch 🤣 Tried out several songs, figuring out what I will present at the end of the month. I played some Glass etudes on the piano to see if buzzing is gone. It’s gone! Win-get! #scowl #piano #singer #songs #composer #rehearsal #twitch #chat ❤️
Me looking very serious and scowly with my arm extended to press a controller to activate clips in LIVE with various synthesizers in the background and a computer screen in front of me (what I’m gazing- I mean scowling- at). I guess I’m a scowler now that I’m older. Is that an automatic thing? Becoming a scowler as one gets older? My arm extended to a controller as I press a button to activate scowl-mode…

The genius tech, Ken, got a lot done on this beautiful instrument today. A lot of dialogue back-and-forth, trying out things, searching out noises and resonant frequencies/wolf-tones. There will be more and more, as getting an instrument ready for recording takes a lot more than people think. #piano
This is a picture of the key bed as well as the new carbon fiber action from my piano removed, so it was worked on In this picture, you can see a little more detail of the new hammers, the new carbon, fiber, action, and all of its parts. It looks so cool.

Having some more detailed work done on the 7-foot Mason & Hamlin BB today with my awesome piano tech Ken Huebner. He will be investigating buzzes, noises, voicing, and regulation of the new action, and checking on the new bass strings and new pins. Yessss…

My beloved grand piano’s butt with the lid open. It’s a nice butt. The front keyboard of my piano, with music on the music stand, and the lid is open.
