Chase Bliss Blooper and Circuit-bent Walkman

This cat is completely bilssed-out next to a Chase Bliss Blooper pedal and circuit-bent Walkman (speed controls). Between the cassette and the pedal, a lot of looping fun to be hand here.

From Antoine Marronclɘs via Facebook.

The Blooper is an intriguing little pedal, and looks quite practical for looping fun. From Chase Bliss’s website:

Within this little blue rectangle is an intricate machine to explore, unravel, and make your own, with infinite opportunities and outcomes…there is loop saving, eight layers of undo and redo, and external syncing. On the creative end, there are two channels of modifiers, a lo-fi Stability control, and three looping modes. blooper’s heart is Additive mode, which allows you to record sound modifiers directly into the loop like any other overdub.

Wordless Wednesday: Ubehebe Crater

Ubehebe Crater, a large volcanic crater in Death Valley National Park. It is about a mile wide and 600 feet deep.

It was about 110 degrees Fahrenheit at the rim of the crater the day I was there, so I did not venture all the way down. But I did explore the rim and will share photos on another day.

Valentino and Electron Octatrak

Valentino has found a comfy spot between an Elektron Octatrak (version 1) and a mixer. And it doesn’t look like he wants to move any time soon.

I guess I’ll have to work around him:)

Valentino looks even more like Big Merp than in his earlier photos.
