Yellow Drum Machine!

Last night, we did Share.tv episode 4 with Calliope Quartet, which was awesome. Ricardo, the percussionist, actually played his face: he kept rubbing a mic across his stubble to make these crackly noises. It was so cool!

Also, I finished my feature on the Yellow Drum Machine by Frits Lyneborg from letsmakerobots.com. It turned out pretty well, I think.



I'm currently uploading the full episode onto Blip.tv. Usually, uploading an hour-long vid to the internet is a pain in the ass because it takes so long. But now that I've got my Asus Eee PC (I named it Mylo), I can at least do that same task at the bar across the street from the station!

Cheers!

AKA and I improvised this little ditty last weekend. I feel my instrumentation (bass especially) is a little too Boards of Canada. But that's never a bad thing, right? We should shape it up: give it some structure, shorten it a bit. But it's a good start, and I loooove the backwards-forwards on the bell sample.

Here it goes.
