Jim Clark

so i was talking to Tommy Gun the other day and he said we should start a blog so we won't lose our ideas forever and that we can update you and ourselves often and i found it to be something we must do as someone who wrote far too many stories in facebook that are probably lost forever in the vacuum created somewhere in the black holes of the virtual worlds , something an Internet archaeologist will maybe find in 1000 years from now and this is big shame - reminds me something the Neil young once said about Heroin:" somewhere in this world , in space there are millions of great ideas that got lost due to Heroin " - so we got the Blog now to prevent the horrible results of cyber-drugs A.K.A Facebook and whatever .

tomorrow we will meet to some further experiments in sounds , we got some new hardware which i am not quite sure if i should modify or not , i got the great temptation of doing it but i also fear the result of short circuiting it , from my past experience most cases wee major success but in some cases the machine died and never came back again , so i still think - if only i had a piece which was a bit cheaper and much easier to spare then with no doubt i would already modify it .

years ago someone gave me one of these cheap Yamaha PSR small organs , these things you never even care about , he said i does not work , he said he wanted me to try and fix it so i took a look in i and found out it was only the power supply he did not even bother connecting , the organ worked perfect - go figure it out ...
i could not resist the temptation and the organ was stripped naked and bare bones on my carpets minutes after , working out some circuits , shortcutting chips , etc...
suddenly it all sounded like a machine from hell , it had beats becoming symphony of chaos and sounds with overdrive and distortion all over , it was magnificent , my brother took it and sampled the sounds and then sequenced them and made a piece that was not far from what you would assume AUTECHRE would have done , i put the machine back into original state and gave it fine an normal to it's owner not before we gave him a cd with a track made only of the sounds his crap organ created , he could not believe it but it was plain truth , it sounded like a multi proposed synth more than just a PSR - that just show how much i am really struggling with my passion of doing the same to our equipment , i will try maybe to check the blue prints , it will give me some safety ropes there , i might need them this time - or maybe i will let my kitten made the decision for me , if Paul the octopus can so why won't she ? , she knows how NOT to chase 2 dimensional electronic mice i illustrate on the computer table , she might also come with a good answer to this one but i would stop now talking about the technicalities of our sounds although i know it does create interest , i was always fascinated by people like Jim Clark , race driving legend that was hardly speaking about his fits , how can he do it ? , how does he take a corner the way he does , how does he know where to accelerate and when to brake ? it's an art form that he took to amazing levels but he hardly talked about the way it all happen , the man uses and defies the laws of classical physics with his instincts , what can be greater than that ? a genius who discovers how to do a great thing or a fool who does a great thing not even knowing how he does it - next time we will try not to think at all , not to relate and only react , we do it anyway but we need to do it more .
