There are many explanations on how to use the Circle of Fifths. I am learning how to improvise and write songs with chord progressions. This page finally made it clear to me. πΆ

An experiment with a one-off recording of a sample taken off an Arturia Minifreak and a field recording I made. I love the Generation Loss effect that imitates the sound you got from a VHS or MC tape after copying them. πΆ πΉ

Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid all purpose electric guitar for beginners? πΈ πΆ I’ve been playing classical guitar for a few years and want to try new things. I’ve heard that the Yamaha Pacifica 112 might be a good choice. Are there any others out there?

When we told our guide that we didn’t want to go to all the tourist places, he took us instead to the places where they take tourists who say that they don’t want to go to tourist places. These places are, of course, full of tourists. Which is not to say that we weren’t tourists every bit as much as the others, but it does highlight the irony that everything you go to see is changed by the very action of going to see it, which is the sort of problem which physicists have been wrestling with for most of this century.

I just finished Numero Zero by Umberto Eco. π
For some reason, the local library rejected the hardback book and gave it away for free. No idea why. As always, it’s well written and easy to read. A journey through the history of Italy and some bitter insights into the newspaper business. I read it through in two days only.

I’ve been looking forward to this for many days. Me and my family start our journey into the woods. A few days in a small village in the mountains with lots of nature.
Switching off. Being present as part of nature. Read books. πΊπ²π

Back on track π after more than two weeks off. I did the benchmark run for my next goal: a half marathon. I can’t believe how too much work and irregular sleep is getting me out of shape.

I’ve seen some great things you can do with looping in Ableton Live. πΉ So I thought I’d give it a try. On my windows tablet it kind of works. But on the Mac OS I haven’t been able to get it to work yet. I never thought I could be that complicated.

A few days ago I successfully completed a 10k race π after weeks of training. I’ve realized I’m made for distance, not speed. Next goal: a half marathon. I just started my new training plan on Garmin Connect. π

music
I’m listening to the track Grunt by B. Fleischmann. Haven’t done that in years. π΅
At first moment I thought my stereo was broken. The whole track has a distorted hiss underneath that complements the melody beautifully at moments. I love it!
