Custom Mixer
made a tiny mixer for my bruvva the bassplaya.
he runs his bass and a bass synth through a stompbox line selector, the sum going into his bass amp.
i think the line selector sucks.
problem is: if you say these things out loud, you're supposed to come up with an alternative.
a better one. a smaller one. a pinker one!
left to right: output/bass input/synth input. synth volume. 9v adapter socket.
bass is buffered and goes straight through, so no volume control needed.
both are always on, and they're supposed to be, so that's fine.
hmm. raspberry glazing.

Rehousing the Gristleizer
i'm really happy with how this circuit sounds.
i'm really bummed with the case breaking (twice) when falling (twice).
decided a new case was in order.
one that would be travelproof. nuclear shelter-style, preferably.
this is what it looked like before:
this is what it looks like now:
it's got room to spare for future use!
it really ties that spare room together as well, what with it being extremely pink and all.
mostly used on synth and vocals - suggestions for the right hand 50% welcome.

Austria was amazing. i've never been so close to all the clichés i had of the country. hotels in green meadows up on a mountain, waking up to the clanging of the Cows coming home. no, really.
the gig went really well!
two lazy bums having one day of half-assed rehearsal (hi patrik!) and deciding it would work. it did. although i have to admit i don't have mr. lechner's stamina - feels like i played two shows rolled into one. still have to check the multitrack recordings the organisation was kind enough to provide us with - will definitely have to make an edit of that, i'm sure there's some moments in there worth making public, ha.
more on that later, i would think.
meanwhile i was part of the Monochord Ensemble for champ d'action's Time Canvas here in antwerp, repaired Ultra Metal IceMan's marshall valvestate (nuff said), saw a cool show by Wieter Dockx, had to rehouse the Gristleizer (fell down twice, plastic casing wasn't up for it) and starting going through a harddrive full of recordings made in norway.
first on the pile: the False Friend sessions. gon' be good!!
