The first issue of Tractor Beam is live with my new story, “The Flowers Where 580 Used To Be.” I love the way this came together & I wish more #climatefiction had the resources for stuff like this.
Anyway, enjoy my first #soilremediation #solarpunk #romance!

My wife and I have tried to hold things together over the last couple of years, with a lot of help from our online friends, but we’re sinking now, literally and figuratively.
If you can help (even just a re-post), we really need it now.

My patching got so much better when I committed to no crossed patch cords and mastering "#" notation. I strive to make patches read like code. I'm particularly proud of this one, based on R. Luke Dubois' Jitter phase vocoder! Pic 2 is the original @cycling74.bsky.social

Pedal stickers arrived from the printer, they look fantastic. I just need to find a spare few hours for soldering to make a small batch, if they sell well I might do a bigger run. MAB = momentary AB. #guitarpedal

I have some space on my new (to me) pedalboard, must not start browsing Reverb.... I need some new smaller patch cables, and the Korg PD-1 has a massive jack going into the Layers, need to get a small adapter and hide that underneath. #pedalboard #guitarpedal

Actor, author and seafaring vagabond Sterling Hayden at age 65, aboard his ancient, 100-foot, river barge — and refuge — in Besançon, France.
An unsettling thought: he died five years later, at the age I am now.

I got a looper working in Max/MSP, I'm sure there's many better ways but this is simple and tidy. If you attempt to overdub it unleashes demons. #maxmsp #guitarpedal

It's beautiful this morning. The kids Saturday club has been cancelled though, we're going to drag them up the Clough to see the icicles instead

Bridget Hayden's Cold Blows the Rain just arrived in the post (a local artist on a local label, for local folk), enjoying with a quick soup of cabbage and orzo with loads of chilli. #nowPlaying in #theGalley

It just occured to me it'd be useful to have a guitar pedal that houses an audio interface, so I can easily test MaxMSP/PD patches in my pedal chain. Such a thing does exist: www.musicradar.com/reviews/oran... #gearaquisitionsyndrome #guitarpedal
