Soundscape Experiment

by | Nov 21, 2013 | Audio

Before I immerse myself into the land of printing and art fair prep this morning, I had to squeeze in some synthesized sounds from Logic Pro — my new sound software that I refuse to ignore — and my 25 key Ion midi keyboard (one of these days I’ll hook up the full sized keyboard to my computer. That should be fun). I think I mentioned before that I was slightly obsessed with making crazy cosmic sounds as a kid on my mom’s synthesizer before blowing out my brother’s amp that it was hooked up to. Ahhh, computers make things so easy now.. although I did manage to crash the software once trying to do multiple effects…

panworkroom

I pretty much failed at my first attempt of doing a panoramic styled photo on my iPhone.. but anyway, I spent a good part of the weekend and these last few days cleaning and organizing my house.. and trying to contain my work-stuff which is usually spilling over into almost every other room in the house. The dining room had become my cutting room, the living room often storage for supplies. It was getting a little ridiculous. I think it’s under control for the time being.. and I actually had brunch at my dining room table on Sunday!… with no art supplies in sight! Back to my cutting table (in my actual workroom) to continue on some commissioned work. Til next time..

Happy November

Tonight’s sunset, Atchison, KS.

“Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,
How beautiful it is?
All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness
There is a poem, there is a song.
Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.
When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with
The music of many leaves,
Which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life.”
– Krishnamurti
