Have been following @suiteru.train using Orca and Pure Data to play the Model:Cycles so got inspired and gave it shot…
Really fun tweaking out the cycles while PD’s doing it’s thing. Mmm, budget #autechre 😅

Makes it more interesting finding out you were surfing over reef _after_ you get out the water. I guess that fact that the take off was between two rocks and then you had to thread between another two should’ve been a giveaway 😅
First time surfing Black Rock, Bude, with super clean 3-4’ left-handers (at least to start with) and an easy-paddling 16sec swell period.

HIDDEN SOUNDS OF SPIKE ISLAND
Our sound walk starts today and runs over the weekend as part of @brisopendoors. This is a ticketed event, link in bio.
“What should the city sound like? In this hour long audio walking tour you will be guided to listen deeply & reflect on the present, past & future soundscapes along the harbour-side. How has the sonic environment changed over time? and importantly, how can we shape the future soundscapes of our cities?”

Very pink and very fast. Just back from giving it a first run round the St George skatepark and never had quite as much excess speed around a bowl. Going to have to start working harder on my old-school tricks now 😅

Can’t get enough of those glassy Model:Cycles FM chords! Pairing the Cycles with the modular and getting them hooked up with MIDI is already turning out to be oddly complementary. Feels like I’ve barely scratched the surface so far!

Ada seems pretty happy about unlocking “Level 01a Bipedal Mode”. Going to have to start considering mini-keytars sooner than planned at this rate.

“FM synthesis and pants on your head” vibes today. Taking bookings for art gallery gigs and toddler birthday parties soon.
