Eurorack Workshop seems like a solid resource for “learning electronics to build modular synthesizer modules”.

We are working to get a modular synthesiser system for public use at the new Center Library Ode. The idea that the library should have a modular came about in an easygoing chat with Mikko. After the talk I wrote an email to the Ode staff and for the past four months I’ve worked with musicians and serious hobbyist in an effort to design a modular system which would suit needs of library audiences (the sound requirements of professionals, artists and hobbyist). The library was excited about our first draft and asked for a more developed proposal. Last night our working group made plans for a complex system and we will present this idea for the library next month. If everything goes as planned there will be synths to borrow too!
Successfully build a Kastle 1.5 and a dip switch controllable splitter/mixer of my own design.

Threw a spontaneous gig with a Po-12 and a Po-16 during the weekend for a birthday crowd. My efforts were received surprisingly well. Bought a Bastl Kastl 1.5 kit.

Resoiled my shoes.
Bought a batch of audio cables. With them I’ll get the most out of my new (old) Allen & Heath GL2 mixer. Also ordered a battery for my new (old) DigiTech DSP 256XL Multi Effects Processor. The cables came from Germany (Thomann) in a week, the battery from Nurmijärvi (Akkunetti) is taking longer!
Preparing the next Neighborizome event. The last one on 18.2 was a relative success. There was enough audience, the mood was easygoing, presentations by guests were smart and after talks with Kombutcha went well too.

Ondrej Brody & Kristofer Paetau (Fi) are inspirational artists. Their work is legendary.
- Licking curator’s ass (2005) is an instant classic.
- Painting China Now (2013-2014) is smart.
- Transratfashion (2007) is touching.
- Art forum incident (2005) is brilliant.
