What have you been busy about lately ? thread

[sniffio]

I had been busy getting my new apartment to be furnished.

And

Getting a new job in NYC.

Got it.



Don't want to be a nose-poker(?) for your living,

But thought it would be interesting to get to know more about the other members in the forum what they'd been doing.


If I do not get any replies,

I will start a thread about parsley and walk away.

[Spandex]

I have been at work every day in December so far I think. I can't remember any more.

[Konx-om-Pax]

designing mental looking record sleeves.

[Loz]

Working on my live set. Which hopefully won't be shit.

[V Knid esq]

Moving house, learning to mix again because in my new house for the first time in 6-odd years I've got space for:

wotcha got?

[The Physicist]

sorting my new flat out and looking at porn obviously!

[joe pinapples]

wotcha got?
Fender Telecaster 50's reissue, its a Mexican (couldn't afford a new USA one) but has had a custom double wound pick-up fitted which has it sounding very nice, if a bit trebly. It plays really well, especially after years of playing bad cheap electrics. Are you an acoustic player only?

[Spandex]

Yeah... I've only ever touched an electric about twice, and never since I could actually play an acoustic (only been doing that for a couple of years). I can't use a pick at all :)

[nempsey]

i was ultra busy last week, producing a multicamera outside broadcast of the bbc scottish symphony orchestra playing stravinsky's rite of spring, plus being a camera operator and doing the post production, all in 48 hrs, believe it or not

[Yer_Maw]

trying to make a protein express and splashing drugs on them all day every day to no avail :(

[nempsey]

protein express sounds like slang for a quick tommy tank

nose-poker(?)

:)

I've been getting stupidly addicted to online poker. Making a tune again for the first time in years. Making prints using copper plates. Cooking lots, which is also nice in a creative kind of way. Watching old movies. Endlessly debating whether or not to buy a new tele with the GF. Looking forward to becoming an uncle in Feb and picking up kiddie books. Re-reading The Complete Course Of Irish History.

printing choices and web ideas...*hint -mutherfuking hint!!*.

[Sheridan]

I have been working my same job as Graphics Manager at a small printing company. Things are going well for us considering the economic downturn. Lucky for us people still buy fast food in a recession. Apart from that I am looking for a new apartment and should hopefully be moving in February which I am really excited about. I am looking at getting a new laptop and also acquiring Traktor Scratch. And speaking of guitars one of my goals this year is to get an electric guitar and learn to how to play. I am staying away from the bar for the foreseeable future which is nice since I am tired of being poor and hungover and hanging out with divs. I am actually really looking forward to 2009 and some of the plans I have for it.

[soulcheck]

Looking for a flat.

[stak_etop]

Along with the recent skills tests at school and usual music digging I completed this little box last weekend:

Recorded in my basement after finishing the user interface. There should have been even more
stuff but unfortunately my cam run out of tape. Hopefully the video gives some idea of how
loud it actually came out to be...

[wheezer]

finally got the last bits to start building my FreeBSD ZFS NAS box today. Bought a crosstrainer, which turned out to be larger than I thought. Will need to get wheels for it so I can store it sensibly. Also, I should do a mix this week.

I've been busy scavenging and shooting shit in the post apocalyptic wastelands, working out the best method of setting my gear up for live use, counting out all the change in the money jug and ignoring the front door.

Snap. Not sure what series I'm on. I've been watching them all on Youtube, and there are no series numbers on it. Hank's secretary has just left, though.

[love_tempo]

learning classical guitar the past 18 months. I'm enjoying it, apart from my teacher harrassing me about good technique. So many little things that don't seem to matter at the time, but turn out to be really important later. hoping to get into one of the music conservatories in holland next year, or the year after. that's about it really, it's taken over from running, mixing and production.

[Hectic Cum Balthazar]

Got the next 3 hand on the plow 12"s finished. HOORAY
Have to promote them now. That bit is a lot less fun.

Started properly working 5 days a week for the first time in 4 years...

Nicely. You doing actual classical flat neck style thingy? Or just "fingerstyle" or wotever the fuck they call it?

I've been doing something like that the last couple of years, having lessons n shit. Mainly that fingerpicking stuff.. Renbourn style (tho not quite up to his standard yet:)). Loving it all... two years ago I could only play C/G/F/Am/Em and now I can actually sit down and play a solid hour of Fucking Folk Music.

[gen-eral]

Been getting acting career kickstarted again after 3 glorious years of faffing around. Filming showreel, attending auditions, writing some stuff and now looking forward to Christmas.

classical, I did get into it through a bit of fingerpicking and slide but then I put down the guitar for years. Took it up again more seriously about 18 months ago. I'm still shite tbh, but getting better and at least now I'm getting to pay better music and start new pieces fairly frequently.

Hopefully, this might be the next piece I learn over christmas:

there's loads of great music for the guitar and some of it is very modern which I like.

[V Knid esq]

I want to pick up a musical instrument next year. Mrs Knid has shamed me this year by learning fluent Italian and making the decision to chuck her job in and train to be a nurse, so I am going to learn more stuff. I don't think I'll ever learn to "play" play, but I want to be able to bang stuff out rather than build tunes purely with mouse action.

[JE:5]

What you going to do?

I want to do this - http://courses.uwe.ac.uk/hw63/2009

I'll probably have to do a foundation course as the last thing I did was a sound engineering course back in 1996!

I have been wanting to do something for a while, electronics or music related, this seems to fit the bill I think.

I know the feeling.
My musical dealings has just been around Djing and the odd go at producing tracks on a computer. I'd like to learn an instrument and learn actual chord progressions and some musical theory.

There is a guy I run into from time to time here and he is working on PhD in psychology. He seems to like it but it looks like a lot of work. He is working on several experiments and has to publish papers and he teaches as well. He seems to like it though.

[love_tempo]

I'd happily be a student forever.. often think about phds.. but that doesn't actually seem like much fun compared to Masters etc :)

yeah, I think I prefer working part-time to doing a PhD. It's too much like an almost never-ending job without pay and unlimited hours. It stops being fun around the M.Phil. mark. I started one, while working at the same time in the uni, and bailed out before the end of the first year.

[Hectic Cum Balthazar]

yeah definitely seems like prime nervous breakdown territory :) So many people never get anywhere too.. but I guess that's kinda the point/risk..

I'm also going to take up tennis, run a marathon and learn to speak several extinct Sami languages.

I just updated our discography page... in typical style you wait years and then 3 come at once.. http://www.handontheplow.com/discography/

Well posh.

I try to play in proper position etc.. but it's easy to get sloppy with this type of music.. then sometimes i get to a bit and have to actually stop, re-arrange, and then carry on. MUST get used to starting out holding it proper at the beginning of a piece :)

[Orang Utan]

On Isohunt I think

[mdk]

at the moment i wake up, play with lili, take her to her grandparents, work, collect lili, play with lili, more work, sleep.

rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

i need to sort it out a bit once these current projects have passed.

i've not even booted windows for weeks to even consider doing any music although i still run through some picking exercises on the guitar every day or two.

[les diamond]

yea same here i hang out with my little daughter all day...


she got sick and had to go to hospital today it was scary.... the doctor said it was just an upset stomach but damn i can't stand to see her not smiling : (

i usually make music when she goes to sleep. i myself don't sleep much.

Can the daddy sleep, nurse, work, and make music within the same day?
Or do I have to cut back on sleeping if I had my next-future-children ?

[joe pinapples]

Just checked the price and yep looks like i'll be finding a local class!

The entire Rosetta stuff is, I think, fairly easy to find for free online. Yer_Maw sent me a link to a torrent site that had it on it. Mind u I didnt download it cos I am lazy.

[soulcheck]

Find a tandem partner maybe. I bet there are some students/workers from spain where you live, and they very often need some english practice.

[les diamond]

yea so it is 5am here. i am making beats because my wife and daughter are asleep and i am kinda stoned. but if i had a 9 - 5 job i wouldn't make music but on the weekends i bet.

[mdk]

she got sick and had to go to hospital today it was scary.... the doctor said it was just an upset stomach but damn i can't stand to see her not smiling : (

tell me about it. lili had laryngitis a couple of weeks ago, she couldnt breathe properly and had to stay in hospital. its so distressing and the hospital here is tragic.

@sniffio, it really depends on a few things, how long do the kids sleep, how much sleep you need, how much work you have to do.

at the moment lili is sleeping well, she didnt wake up until 9am this morning, but my problem is i have too much work otherwise i would be doing more music.

[les diamond]

some of us would kill for a day job though so the glass is half full again. carry on

[mdk]

the grass is always greener isnt it :)

i didnt want it to sound like it was a big problem, i enjoy my work and i work from home so as far as jobs go its about as good it gets, but obviously i would much rather be rich and not have to work.

[les diamond]

hope my new dub records do well in uk and i can go see how green the grass is

Not sure I like his voice... maybe it'll grow on me. I'll no doubt buy the record regardless.

yeah we think he's great... really original stuff and the first person outside of the usual suspects that we've wanted to release stuff by

I keep finding myself coming back to this one :)

Pretty cool tracks. thanks for the mix.

[Loz]

I just came up with the most amazing techno track ever....in my head.

And then when trying to construct it, got sidetracked by the bassline and forgot it.

Bollocks.

[les diamond]

Pretty cool tracks. thanks for the mix.


no probz thanks for listening homie

[Sheridan]

no probz thanks for listening homie

[les diamond]

1. Slimey Tench (gunjack dub)
2. Bad Man Snake
3. No Pain
4. Speak No Evil
5. Down The Ox
6. Murda
7. Barramundi
8. Bruckshut's Revenge

[love_tempo]

I like too. The best show I saw this year was the Dublin Guitar Quartet playing Glass. I get rushes just thinking about that gig.

that sounds great. I'd like to hear that. Leo Brouwer has lots of great music composed for guitar that I've been listening to a lot recently.

not the best recordings, but still the feelings there:

Leo Brouwer - Cuban Landscape with Rhumba

ah very nice, I'm going to ask my teacher if I can learn "The Rain Study," next.
I like how all the different versions of "Cuban Landscapes With Rhumba," I've heard sound so different.

The Quartz one is a bit like Gamelan, the japanese one is like a Koto and the Dublin one sounds like minimal new york Folk music.

Along with the recent skills tests at school and usual music digging I completed this little box last weekend:

Recorded in my basement after finishing the user interface. There should have been even more
stuff but unfortunately my cam run out of tape. Hopefully the video gives some idea of how
loud it actually came out to be...

I can testify to the loudness. I can still hear it now :illin:

[Ladytron]

1. Lili
2. work
3. study
4. hubby
5. some sleep and rest

p.s. i started to find some time to do exercise
