Annelid's blog: "Ramblings,thoughts and assorted stuff"

So…I met up with a good friend of mine, Rui last night. We checked out stuff @ Guitar Center and pretty much annoyed the heck out of the customers and staff by futzing around with various musical devices by playing them at high levels. Then it was off to get some pizza…..and Jager..and a movie. Pan’s Labyrinth. Interesting film. Lush visuals, excellent story and even though I had to go by subtitles, it still made for a a enjoyable viewing. Then it was time for some synth action. Showed Rui the new mixer (Behringer XENYX 1222FX). I like it because it has 16 tracks and Studio-grade 24-bit stereo FX processor with 100 presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and various multi-effects. So essentially anything I run through it can have neato sounds layered onto it. Sufficed to say we had fun dinking around on the synths and all. We’re kicking around the idea of making some tracks together… but right now it’s just in the pre-natal planning stages. All in all good times were had…. As for today I woke up with a wicked hangover. A small price to pay for fun I suppose. I’ve vacuumed up the apartment…put away some clothes and might do some more laundry. Laters on I might go look at a swifter duster… I hate HARDWOOD Floors. Mein Gott, my life is reduced to shopping for swifter dusters..Heh. Music for cleaning – Jean Michel Jarre – Oxygene Wendy Carlos - Tales of Heaven and Hell
