More Noise in Reading UK!

In the diary.
Saturday 6th December. Ben and I said early this year that we would bring Distraxi to Reading in 2025, and we've done it with days to spare!
Local euphoric noise trio Lingua Della Strega and cut-up wizard Sword of Damocles complete the bill.

I see Kompakt are releasing another one in the Wolfgang Voigt - Rückverzauberung series.

10 off dubplates and art print, but downside is €185 each 🤔

I think I will miss this one for reasons.

I have already got versions 0,1,2,3,4.1 - 4.9,5,6.1 - 6.3,7,9,10, Exhibition and Live in London (I was at that concert)

Now, what has happened to Ver. 8 ? I need to find out 😫

I have seen this in real life, teens in the record shop discussing which record to buy to display on the wall.

And record players can be affordable these days!
I laughed at this until I realized that I have 100 tabletop RPG rulebooks that I never even tried to play, and 200 video games I'll never even install.

Seefeel - Pure, Impure, Expanded and Remastered.

Generally, I am not bothered enough to get remasters, preferring the original release on record, but this one has some Aphex Twin rmxs and unreleased stuff.

Saw them on the revival outings last year.

Today's DIY project - the assembly of a Making Sound Machines Plinky+ desktop polyphonic synth.

A fairly easy build, no soldering, just nimble fingers & tweezers needed.

Looking forward to exploring the noises it can make on its own and also connected to the modular world.

Synth East tickets should go live tomorrow. We have a fantastic headliner on Saturday night which is likely to sell out fast, so to be sure of a ticket keep an eye out on my feed or the Norwich Arts Centre #synths #syntheast #eurorack #norwich
