Keep your ears on the screen…

…you might hear me whipser… yes. Stay tuned. Today, I decided to start podcasting, as soon as my interface arrives (the input for the MICs and the MIDI stuff). I will read my blog for you, perhaps sing some songs sometime, read the stories I write, all sourrounded by the sound of the music I like. If you like it, just stay tuned… I’ll keep you informed.

Nothing more to say, Hay!

Hello Mr Postman

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Yesterday, the day at work was, again, very exhausting. I was tired and unrelaxed, when I came home. As I walked down the way to our house, my grandparents and my parents were sitting in the garden, with a fire on and were eating a cake. I was surprised and happy to have the opportunity to relax without having to talk about computer problems again. Because our fireplace is near the small garden house, which I declared as the “J.Songs Audio Studio”, I started smooth Mark Knopfler Music and we alltogether chilled the whole evening. Later my mother told me about a postcard, that had arrived for me. Because I am not mailed that often, and if I am, it is mostly advertising, business or just nasty spam mail, I was very surprised. I was even more, when I noticed that it was personally dedicated to me :) . My cousin Carla mailed me a very nice “Theres sunshine after the rain”-postcard, she drew herself, to make me shine again. What a success. It really worked out. Even if we talk nearly everyday and became a lot closer than I thought it would be possible, she sent me a postcard to make me smile again. Just the thought, that theres still someone who cares will make the next days a lot easier.

Have a nice day, I’ve now to go to work.

Musical Night[m,w]are

There is some tendence in me, that tends to push strange sounds into my brain sometimes. Some weeks ago, when I was sitting in my “Studio”, experimenting with my new freinds, the synthies, I had the idea of a melody, played it all night through… yesterday, I accitendly recorded it… and, not to waste it, equipted it with some strange *klingcrashboom*-allround-gadgets noone wants to hear ;) . It sounded strange and I, for a moment, was scared of myself. Technology wants you to be able to take part in this acustical nightmare HERE. It was, basicly, supposed to sound like a sad russian theme… but ended up sounding like a large car accident.

My current Linux Audio Workstation (LAW) is a bit weak, when it comes to performance… thats not what one wants, when it comes to Multi Track audio editing. It might be, that is, because its a Celeron D 2.66… and lacks Floating Point performance. Because I wanted to get rid of this brake to me crativeness, I, today, ordered my new Audio Workstation, one of the yummi AMD64 X2 (because I do not want to scare you, I’ll hereby tell you that its the smallest one… the 3800+). I hope it will work, because the motherboard will be a bit tricky on linux, if I can trust this Blog. I will do my very best :) .

Music keeps me alive. Thank you.
