I’m here working in the studio, and Lola is keeping me company, just off my right shoulder.
Happy #Caturday, everyone!
Love the #StudioCats hashtag idea & added a few.
I've been an ardent follower of @Skeewiff's #PatchTheStudioCat, but she's been a little bit quiet recently - I hope she's ok?
@GuyBirkin @axwax Aww. 🐾
Is it even still active? Points deducted though for not knowing who Bagpuss is. I feel like we should start up a #StudioCats tag on here, if there isn't already? 🙂
Just before the end of (my) #Caturday, #RubiaTheCat delivered the goods when I was stuck in a rut with my latest composition...
And for everyone who doesn't like to buy¹ the cat in the sack (as we Germans say), here's a short clip showcasing the sample's soothing sounds in this impromptu lullaby for #RubiaTheCat. 🐱💤

My submission for "Not What I Call Bonk Wave - Vol. 002", entitled "Schrödinger's Bonk" has a slightly less messy recording of the rhythm and chords from the video below running throughout the track.
In my mind its slight rhythmic imperfections and quirky sound are the reason the song bonks so hard (yet not at all).

Now that the #bonk is out of the bag, erm box, I can finally reveal the secret weapon that I specifically acquired for the occasion:
The Casiotone MT-70 is one of only six sine wave based #Casio synths, released in 1982. This makes its sound palette quite limited, but unique.
Its accompaniment section has a few tricks up its sleeve, especially the arpeggio mode, which I will show off in the video in the second post.
