Music. Photography. Thoughts.
Coronavirus this, quarantine that, I’m just back from another short Sunday walk, and here are some photos I took on my way:
That was a nice walk, and as you can see the weather was also pretty good. As always you can click the images to see larger versions on Flickr where they are hosted – in fact there’s always the full resolution for printing postcards and so on.
Thanks for reading, and for viewing.
After first remixing this track only for Shi and Russellish (he had some bass samples on it already), I found a nice remix from ivax which he also uploaded as a HD file, so I could add that as another track in my DAW. And then I grabbed my instrument, and out came this:
The list of musicians is now like this:
So as always, thanks to my friends from Wikiloops for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening.
Another remix I just made, this time from BigDaddyCee and again from Shi:
As always, thanks to my friends at Wikiloops for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening.
Today after work I remixed one of my all-time favourite tracks on Wikiloops, from hurzel and Shi:
This one still gets me after all these years. A masterpiece from two of the finest musicians I’ve heard.
As always, thanks to my friends for all the fun – and thanks to you for listening.
Hilarious…
Haven’t done this since a while, but today I took my camera with just one lens on it and went for a walk. Here’s what I saw:
About the title of that previous one: no one was in that restaurant or in their beer garden outside. In fact before I even arrived here I saw the first people wearing face masks…
Lots of dead wood in a forest that becomes thinner and thinner year after year.
Then I returned home and took another portrait of our sweet Ms Pointy Ears, sitting on the sofa close behind Zuleikha:
As always, thanks for reading, and for viewing.
This is the second track I remixed and played upon today. It’s called “Elena”:
Thanks as always to my friends for all the fun, and to you for listening.
Today I made two remixes of tracks, and then played a bit myself on each of them. This first one is called “Keep walking”:
Thanks to my friends for all the fun, and thanks to you for listening.
Something broke again, so instead of making music or photographs or reading I’m spending most of my evenings with our server. I can hardly complain tho, because except for the rent of this small virtual server we’re not paying anything – using free and open source software throughout, so we’re responsible for it to work.
Sometimes tho I’d love to have some time for myself, or for some friends and family and other hobbies than this one… during my daytime I’m asked to do totally different stuff, so I’m not that much of a server admin anymore like I used to be. Hard to keep up if development is accelerating and you also have less and less time to keep up.
Anyhow, as you can see the webs are currently working. Next is email.
As always, thanks for reading.
Here are four books which I’ve got for my birthday this year, and in the order I’ve read them:
I like Murakami anyway, and I had read some five or so other books of his already – but these here are all exceptional. I think that I’ve read them in the right order, so if you don’t know the man, that would be my recommendation. Other than these I can recommend ‘Kafka on the shore’, ‘Norwegian wood’, or ‘Killing Commendatore’, but in my opinion these ones here are truly good. And that last one, ‘1Q84’ is definitely a masterpiece (and one of his latest if I’m not mistaken, it was published 2009/10 in Japan, and 2011 in Great Britain).
Recommended, all of them.
I took the photo with the same in-camera black & white settings resembling a digital Olympus Pen-F camera like I wrote one day before my birthday, here.
And, as always, thanks for reading, and for looking.
