MARGARET’S asked me to do some info panels for the new community trust noticeboards.

I mess with some ideas and knock up some prototypes…then spend some time working out how I can vent the new machine outside via the existing system.

Looks like I’ll need a couple blast gates, more ducting, couplings and splitters – plus an inline fan to cope with the extra load. I get onto Amazon…

I have a Zoom meeting with the folks at the Black Bull to go over web and online stuff then I set about a software update for the Quad Cortex. Some cool new things in there like a sub-harmonic synth…while they’re not of much use for my live performance, these options are not only fun to mess with but also useful for some instrumental and production music that I get busy with from time to time.

My 6pm guitar student arrives at the studio and we have a good wee session then I spend some time trying out the new sounds courtesy of the Quad Cortex.
