Die Roll 1

I struggle with initial creative ideas (although I am OK once I get started). Partly because of this and partly because I wanted to see what would happen, I decided to create a random song based on die rolls.

I used both a hexahedronal and an octohedronal die to determine the key, chords and melody (including rests!). The end result was competely random, completely dependent on the die rolls!

Blue Octopuss

Got my free stickers today from Blue Octopuss band in France!

They're a great-sounding band and I am looking forward to their debut CD release (hopefully be later this year).

Jeds Peds LPB Boost

My first successful pedal build - a Jeds Peds LPB Boost with grit option. I used some Jeds 60/40 leaded solder and it made it MUCH easier than the unleaded I used previously. The boost sounds even better in the room than it does in the video. Now I have to design & paint the case!
