Thinking about a version of Rich Gold's Terrain Reader, originally written for the KIM-1 and used in The League of Automatic Music Composers performances.
Really enjoying the Sheffield scene around London Road, Theatre Deli, Hatch, great DIY spaces, boardgame cafes, overall strong vibes. Picture is the amazing Unit Ama at Hatch opening up a beautiful weekend on Friday night.

For the past couple of weeks I've become obsessed with the rubbery sounds in SOPHIE's VYZEE, using each spare minute to try and incrementally improve attempts to synthesize this same texture.
