My adventures in experimental music continue. I used 0-Coast, Prophet Rev 2 and some DAW magic. Song had another title but I think this sells it better. Won’t write too long this time. There is Inktober to participate.

Inktober 2022: Garboyle
in Drawings
It has begun. Inktober 2022 I mean. Not sure how many of these I draw but at least I started. I didn’t plan to participate this morning but first and couple other prompts were interesting. I used Clip Studio Paint but not digital aids it has. Only undo and deleting layers. No erasing or modifying vector layer after drawing. This is probably the first time I tried to do something completely black and white. It was hard to figure out what to do without colors when I normally make shapes with colors. First drawing is terrible but I hope I get better during Inktober.

This is probably the last krell music video for some time. It might have been better if I used sequencer instead of random voltages from Wogglebug. I need to get case for René. And get Maths. Maths would have been helpful.
Sounds come from Strega. It is controlled by 0-Coast and Wogglebug. Same reverb was added on DAW. I wanted to do patch where note length and notes came from different random voltage generators. First two times they came from same. This wasn't as much better as I expected. It made me want to do something similar but with sequencer like René which let me choose the notes.
I didn't plan to have René in setup because I didn't like it when it was. But I didn't have function generators in that setup. Now I have and after this patch I know I need it.
Second Message from Forbidden Planet
I did another krell music video. This time shorter and hopefully better. I had problems with 0-Coast after firmware update. I was trying to learn to use Strega when 0-Coast couldn’t send note cv to Strega. Krell patch felt good idea at the time. It started to sound so good I wanted to make video of it. Calibration to external oscillator fixed 0-Coast issue. Now I can send note cv to Strega. Next video might be less experimental. I have one krell patch idea I like to try though.

I have been away from here for couple weeks. Rearranging my flat to studio took some time and energy. Now I can start drawing when I feel like. Same with music. Earlier I had to make some room before I could do it. There is still something to do but it is almost ready. Got bad idea after watching too many Make Noise videos. They have few videos of krell music. Wanted to try myself. You can see results from video below..
It has been so long since I recorded anything on my pocket camera I forgot it has 5 minutes limit for 4K video. Tested Full HD recording afterwards. It went well past 20 minutes. I think newer version of the camera don’t have that 5 minute limit. Not sure since I haven’t checked new cameras in few years. Next time I know to use Full HD. Video was quite quickly put together. Got idea in morning. Got long enough patch cables during the day. And video was almost done at night. Had to do some changes next day but it was almost done during one day. If I had patch cables on morning it would have been done in a day.
From Darwin to Uhura 20220801
in Drawings
It has been a while since I shared drawing or even draw anything. Had to binge some courses from Great Courses in Audible when they were still part of membership. Had quite extensive modern history course selection. One of courses argued Charles Darwin and Origin of Species had huge role changing world into what we have today. Was going to draw Darwin and someone else. Someone else turned out to be Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura. Her death was announce on day I draw this.
Drawing doesn’t have these persons randomly. Origin of Species was huge leap in scientific thinking. It can be seen as starting point of more scientific mindset. Few courses I took told history as relay from one important person to next. Drawing's idea is what Charles Darwin started could lead into Star Trek future. If you want a feel good story you should google what Martin Luther King told Nichelle when she planned to leave the show.
I have idea for comic/animation I would like to make. In current iteration of the idea one of the characters is partially based on Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura. Don’t know when or if I will make it. I try to find a way to get it from idea into something finished. Need to get animation or drawing skills better before I dare to try it. Found course I was looking for last time I tried animation. Maybe this time I can get far enough to actually get something out.
