Just found out about the Lumino tangible blocks project. Really good use of fibre optics to allow stacked blocks to be ‘seen’ by the table.More info on the project page.

Totally going to steal this “swivel reverse instrument swap” for next time I’m playing out. I think Ada’s picking up her new drums I brought back from New Orleans quicker than I’m getting the hang of the pocket trumpet 😅

AMBIENT CAFE
Saturday 3pm-6pm (tomorrow!)
@friendlyrecords on North St
Join us for an afternoon of eclectic ambient from Muzak Concrète DJs (@noodsradio) interwoven with tabletop experiments from guest local ambient artists including @looseforms and Nick Janaway. A tapestry of cascading synths, bleeps & celestial vibrations, field recordings, intricate wallpaper muzak, earthy drones, textural trips, ambient & ambience. We make a space for indirect listening and background enjoyment. Bring your knitting, a book or chess set, pull up a chair and immerse yourself in the music.

Had the afternoon free after the CHI’22 conference wrapped up so did the obvious thing and shlepped across town to New Orlean’s brass specialist @neworleanstrumpets to buy a pocket trumpet. Turns out New Orlean’s oldest tree was round the corner so ended up having a first play sat on it’s trunk (with new mute firmly in place) hoping to invoke some kind of jazz skills transfer magic but instead mildly disturbing a dog walker who strayed too close. Did get an album promo shot though 😅

Happy Birthday Ada – one today!
Bonus fist bump superhero pose photo from when she was a few days old this time last year and looked more like a potato. The efforts to recreate the pose more accurately this year were futile 😅

Triple bill Easter Sunday art crawl. Audio-visual installations and sculpture at the @h.eadless group show in @theislandbristol … a working trebuchet art-flinger at @spikeisland … and piles of salt (sand?) and fresh oil painting at @arnolfiniarts … rounded off with an ice cream in the park while Ada critiques the shows via the medium of stick twirling.

Day trip to Cwmdu to hike in the Black Mountains for @carrie_brassley_yoga’s birthday. Decided to go off piste and take a shortcut up what felt close to a 45° burnt bracken slope. Ada didn’t seem too phased by this 😅

Freshwater West 1986 & 2022
Rather satisfying hunting down the same rocks I had a sandwich on 36 years prior age 4. Props to my dad for digging out the old photo and sparking off the rock hunt!

Made the most of being on strike last week by heading to Pembrokeshire for a few days. Got lucky with some great sunset surf on Tuesday too!
