won an M-Audio oxygen 25 on ebay. it means i can downsize my old behringer UMX49 (that thing has done me so proud over the years) and make room for my turntables that have been in storage for about 6+ years.
im going to open up the UMX and see if i can remove everything apart from the knobs and build them into their own small enclosure.
Pretty stoked, I was perusing my old man’s endless bookshelves earlier today and found an original 1979 hardcover (with fairly worn slipcover) copy of Alien by Alan Dean Foster. I’ve actually never read it!
I should be surprised but my dad is just an older version of me. I’m still traumatized from Alien Resurrection when he took me to the theater to see it, I was 9. Lol
Nice! Alien is probably my favorite film of all time, i’m almost 32. Alan Dean Foster also did official movie novelizations for Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien: Covenant.
I should probably explore the literature side of the universe more, it’s rich.
so i got a couple moog mother32s the rack bit did not show up but.
the funny thing is i did not think this through.i have no power for either one.
typical rixtr manuver.
I took a day trip to this creepy ass ‘spiritual’ town I live near called Cassadaga, started poking around their bookstore and ended up with a beautiful tibetan singing bowl and a small djembe since my old one bit the dust a little while ago. My wife is a great enabler these days.
The bowl is huge and it sings like a screeching demon. I think there’s a sample pack waiting to erupt
So for the past 2.5 weeks I’ve been recovering from a back injury, today has been the day I was able to get back on my bike again. I missed work and missed out on some music making, I’ve had wonderful help from a friend who drove me to and from medical care and a wonderfully patient and lovely girlfriend of 7 years to keep my mind off of it. I owe her the most of my happiness. The meds they had me on made my mind super yucky and cloudy
I felt like I was at a wall of darkness
Anywho that’s what I owe my happiness to today.
