One in the YouTube pipe for tomorrow... trying a premiere with a shock-face baity thumbnail for whatever that's worth 😄
This is from The Late Shows last month. Twenty odd minutes that hits some interesting spots. Messing about with arpeggio, maths for melody, and some looped drums.

This documentary doesn't deliver on the title's promise

I've really enjoyed getting into livecoding #music, especially trying collaborations.
Our open mic night has a bunch of talented regulars. Most make music with synth setups which means I can match BPM and manually sync on time.
This one is with Mike who uses a #Mbira (a Zimbabwean instrument) fed through some #synth boxes. We dived straight in to improvise without practice. It's melodic ambience with a hint of cacophony 😄
Some bloopers from me but broadly decent!

I love this: "They're Made Out of Weights"
