I am Patrick Perdue! I am bad for you!

Things and Stuff for April 25, 2009

Are you ready for bad things?

Maybe this isn't such a good idea?

This week's show is available over here

In this show box:

  • I made it back from London just fine, but my luggage didn't. As a result, I've lost a bunch of clothes and my home-made Jecklin disk, two years to the day after premiering the concept on TBRN. Investigation on lost luggage pending.

  • I speak my mind using a stupid, short production about my thoughts on British AM radio (which they call medium wave), and show some very un-edited recordings of myself scanning the FM band from Andre's place. Radio is a bit different over there... sort of.

  • Mommy calls to alert us to the fact that she was scared by a cart I played, and to update us on the status of "the hood." Was anything *really missed by being out of the country for a week?

  • Proving once again that time is not of the essence around here, we pay tribute to buttons and knobs, with special guests [info]dgl1984 (and his Mommy), [info]nick6489, [info]kd6cae, Lino Morales, Randy Gilkey, and others, who were mostly not tuned in at the time.

  • Despite the fact that I now finally have sampling ram for my Yamaha Motif XS, I haven't yet installed it. After using the ram in it's packaging as fake percussion, I got a bit carried away at the keys, being boring, stupid, and anti-creative as usual.

  • We then find out, purely by accident, what happens when you blend the ambients of the Gatwick Express train to Victoria Station with the fake wild west... kind of.

  • More effects processing fun with buttons and knobs. Does that ever get old?

  • Speaking of audio, let's talk about microphones. Might as well, since no one really cares, right?



I'm really starting to think that a format change for the show is in order, though I currently have no ideas on what I'd do with it in the future. Suggestions, of course, are welcome. Yep, burn-out time again. It happens to all of us, and it's been a few months for me. Regardless of my current outlook on things, I enjoyed this show for the most part. Now you can as well. Yay, or something.

Sorry for the late post. Due to some technical issues, and a certain well-known adaptive product which was mentioned on [info]audiorabbit03's show a few weeks ago, I had issues bending the archive to my will. As some know by now, I've decided to no longer like the sound of my Behringer Ultramizer compressor/exciter/limiter, though it's handy for streaming, so I use a separate archiving and mastering process. This means more work for me, but I like the over-all sound better.
Due to multiple issues with the studio PC after the show, I ended up editing it all from the laptop and a very cute little 250GB Freecom ToughDrive, which I got from [info]freakyfwoof. Good times... Maybe not? They don't seem to sell Freecom hard drives here, but man, they're cute and quiet.

In any case, enjoy this box of a thing, while I shove off for some much-needed maintenance on a few things around here.
