Mostly uneventful weekend.

Went over to badger‘s saturday and played a bit. He experimented
with attacking the therimin with cables, chains, outboard motors, small children,
and a ficus. Or maybe it was just some cables, my memory is a little fuzzy
sometimes.

I took over the parker and the stick, but just played the stick. Used a pretty
standard sound for the most part (light grungy distortion, not much else…)
and spent most of the time playing vaguely metal/industrial/crimson riffs
in sync to badgers loops and theremin flagellation. ie, lots of low and
distorted root-octave-root-minor second-root crap. Then some fiddling
with badger’s moogerfooger ringmod in the feedback loop of the
moogerfooger delay.

Made the mistake of hitting some used bookstores on Sunday. Picked
up more of the typical. Interesting finds inclued a book version of
the Eames
Powers of Ten, and some various electronics for beginners books.
Been thinking about trying to build a
Common Sound pedal, and figured a electronics reference or two wouldn’t
hurt.

Spent the rest of the day in a fetal position hiding under a table. Or maybe
it was just an annoying sinus headache that made me want to do a whole
lot of nothing but quitely watch tv and eat junk food. At least till the sudafed
kicked in and the aforemention RSS idea sounded like a good use of time.

Shrug. Wanted to continue on this one and make something bigger and more
complicated, but lost interest. Seems like it needs more complexity to be
interesting to me.
