Three additions to the music collection:

Nèplo by Sébastien Forrester, Live at Trickster by Francesco Corvi & Hugo Lioret and Inner Century by The Hollows.

All on Superpang, one of my favorite labels.

1/ 20 years ago this morning, I drove as fast as I could from Bend, OR to the @OregonHumane
society in Portland to grab the paperwork for a dog I'd seen on the website.

Kira's owner left notes for her & her "sister" dog, Zoe (who was elsewhere). Never knew why she was given up.

@StefanEJones thanks for giving her a home and a second chance. She looks like a great dog.

@StefanEJones a very good girl. All that and so relaxed!

@Bronwyn that's quite a mix! Tragedy and triumph against the odds. I guess it's quite an experience when teachers get the opportunity to catch up with their students many years later.

Even though I didn't feel like it, because of my sore thumb, I had promised my childhood best friend I would meet her at the Botanical Gardens for a walk. Her birthday is this week.
It was the perfect day for a short walk and a bench to sit and catch up.
When we were kids, I was the instigator, and she was the rule follower. I'm not sure those roles have stuck with us into old age.
I didn't want to pass up an opportunity to let her know I care, so I'm glad I went.
The tree in the photo is a dogwood dedicated to the memory of my son, at the garden, and it was in full bloom.

I see that Landscape (the guy behind the Stereo Field and Noon) has a new product that's a handheld string resonator similar to an Ebow. On top of looking very sci-fi, you can vary the vibration via CV. Pretty compelling.

@stevenray@sfba.social avatar

@bfuhrman right? It costs twice what an Ebow costs, but I think it has extra features.

I have a bass, not a guitar, but this thing is making me consider buying a cheap one.

stevenray,
@stevenray@sfba.social avatar

@grahamdunning yup yup. It's very tempting. Problematic for the bank account.

stevenray,
@stevenray@sfba.social avatar

@bfuhrman did you listen to the samples? Several for piano sounded really interesting.

stevenray,
@stevenray@sfba.social avatar

@bfuhrman it sure generates lots of possibilities. I wish there were more bass examples. That'd be my only initial use for it (though this is making me think about buying a cheap 'travel' guitar solely for use with it. Like I need more things to buy).

I work at the rather weird experimental and ambient electronic end of the spectrum.

I know it’s not but Zowie decided that I didn’t do it well enough and besides, she was sitting on her throne.

If anyone knows what specific kind of chair this is, I’d love to know. My loved furniture in this style and my parents had several pieces. We got this one.

French of some era.

@DenOfEarth that’s close, thanks! It maybe has elements of both Neoclassical and Rococco. Thanks lots!

This is an industrial designed exercise bike from Lithuania that can store 2KWh of electricity generated by your own exercise.

The electricity can then be used for loads of stuff - it has a bunch of DC outputs, like USB-C (up to 60W) and USB-A, and AC outputs (can output up to 2KW - enough for an oven!)

It can also be fed from a solar panel, or the mains.

It’s about 3K EUR, so not much more than a high end Peloton , but obvs serving a very different market…
