Are the big platforms aware of the extent to which I am (people are) actively not engaging with AI? Like, I'm aware my activity is being tracked all the time. But surely they must know I have never clicked the "Ask Meta" button when using whatsap, I declined Wordpress' offer to make an AI […]

Finally finished George Eliot's Middlemarch last night - found it a real slog to get through. Some entertaining bits, mainly the phrases people used to insult one another. The last few chapters were most engaging as all the threads were drawn together.

Adding some outputs I made a couple of adaptions to my modular this week, both involving adding new outputs. First, external connections for the spring reverb module. And then a stereo pair of balanced outputs for the main modular. The Doepfer A-199 SPRV is a basic spring reverb module that […]

Putting together a track from bits and pieces, after the studio jam alone sounded a bit drab. (Mostly messing about with feedback on a new delay module I just bought, mixed with a tape of some reed marshes from 2021) Added: A field recording of feral parakeets in Hackney Marshes from a few weeks […]

I'm starting to try to email artists whose music I play on the radio show, to let them know it's had some airplay. Often I already have their email address, because it's someone I know or have played a show with. Sometimes I'm sent promos from PR agencies, sometimes it's stuff I've come across […]

Uploaded an album from 2020 which I was really pleased with - £0+ (pay what you want) - Three piece improvisation with turntable, drums and viola. My sounds were pretty wild and unpredictable on this one (lots of spring reverb feedback), so Nick Siddall's mixing job was very impressive. We […]

Found playing card: 5 of Diamonds Most of a deck abandoned by the recycling bins. As per the rules, I took only the first card I saw. Found Playing Cards http://grahamdunning.com/2026/09/23/found-playing-card-5-of-diamonds/

Shout out to someone selling a 3 track release on bandcamp for £5.00, with individual tracks available for £1.50 each.

Make a strong first impression by bellowing "what is the meaning of this?!" every time you enter a room.

[Dental problems] My bad tooth, which is due for extraction in a week's time, has got infected again. I'm on antibiotics but they've not started working yet. The inflammation is pretty bad. I basically look like Peter Griffin.

I think I might close my pixey/pixelix account. Just not using it, either to post to or to look at others' posts. I partly set it up to avoid overloading my main mastodon server with loads of photos (I only post text and links here) but perhaps a handful of JPGs a week wouldn't make much […]

Firefox also seemed unable to print the page of exported bandcamp codes properly, or export to a pdf correctly, just doing the first page. So had to do that with Chrome too.

Consumer Electronics Necromancy (a couple of satisfying repairs) Over the last couple of weeks I've successfully brought two items back from the dead: a four-track tape recorder and a Windows 10 laptop. Both felt like they were going to be difficult, long shots at success even, so I'm […]

Found playing card: 4 of Clubs Unusual to find two in a month - this was only a couple of weeks after my last catch. This one was on its own, quite wet, outside the shop near the climbing wall I go to. Luckily, not a duplicate. Found Playing Cards […]

I wish Juno would sort out their website so it works properly in Firefox.

I'm installing Linux on my old laptop. (absolute classic Mastodon post right here)

Since when did mountain trolls move this far south?

I really hate waiting for email replies about significant things.

There are so many weird phrases used in English, particularly in the UK - noticed a couple of instances where they were used ambiguously or incorrectly recently. 1. A colleague who said that some information was "under our radar", where they should have said "on our radar", the opposite meaning […]

Finding Track IDs as a hobby in itself Recently I've become aware of an online phenomenon whereby online viewers spend time trying to identify snippets of records in obscure youtube mix videos. Specifically, in a couple of things I've posted on my own channel where the identity of the records […]

Making a 3 panel pamphlet for the next gig I'm putting on. A programme, I guess, but formatted like a leaflet for a local tourist attraction. How many noise gigs come with a pamphlet?
