Boscombe Pier, featuring the silhouettes of @becca_rose___ and @ashleyjamesbrown … good to get some sea views and a micro concrete bouldering session in after a day of computational media.

“Oh hey, come on in – if you could just sketch your project idea on the whiteboard, yes the one just there… don’t mind me, chewing the door helps with teething”
After being in university continuously for 21 years (Bristol for the last 11) I’ve just got my first permanent lecturing post and first ever office, just in time to help Ada with her teething. By my calculations, I’ll be looking to make professor around 2082 😅
Now I just need to fill it up with old project detritus and “research synths” ha

“Hyper Terminal” (excerpt) from Hidden Construct II
Playing around layering up multiple Procreate animations in Lumafusion for some crunchy glyph action.

Dazzle Field (excerpt) from Hidden Construct II
Been playing around animating in Procreate then layering up in Lumafusion. Nice and fast keeping it all on the iPad and not having to boot up Aftereffects!

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?”
