  • Weekend Cat Blogging: In the Studio

    Luna enjoys sitting behind the blinds in the studio area. She is always a welcome presence.

    We were finally getting everything set up again at the beginning of July, only to have to once again unplug everything to support some of the live shows. It’s been a while since we at CatSynth have had a stable studio where I can just sit down, flip on the switches and do creative work. That is one thing I miss from our former home, the evenings in the downstairs studio room just spontaneously trying things out on the computer or other equipment, and Luna coming over to investigate. Now it feels like I have to constantly plug and unplug things and do heavy lifting just to make music at home. But with no shows of my own scheduled for August, it might be time to set things right.

    Weekend Cat Blogging #216 is being hosted by our friends Samantha Black & Mr Tigger at Life from a Cat’s Perspective. 216 is actually an interesting number, but I digress.

    The Carnvial of the Cats will be up this Sunday at When Cats Attack.

    And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

  • Weekend Cat Blogging: Rocks, and remembrance

    This weekend we are again combining Weekend Cat Blogging with the week’s Photo Hunt theme of rocks.

    Here we see Luna in repose behind one of our sculptures here at CatSynth HQ:

    This sculpture has appeared in a few of our pictures before. It is called Red Rock Maquette by Steven Reiman, an artist in the Joshua Tree area who primarily works in large-scale metal works. This piece combines metal elements with a rock base.

    I would like to more formally introduce more of the artwork here at CatSynth HQ, which has been lurking in the background of many of our photos. But time has been quite limited of late. Two performances in the past week, the reports still pending; and of course the regular business of daily life.

    But time is also precious, and the Othello and Astrid remind us in this Weekend Cat Blogging #215: in honor of Sher, a regular at WCB who passed away a year ago. Life will hopefully slow down a bit in the next week, and one way to enjoy a quiet evening would be to prepare another of Sher’s recipes and spend time with Luna.

  • Weekend Cat Blogging: Independence Day

    July 4 is the big Independence Day holiday here in the U.S. So we at CatSynth are now scrambling to find a recent Luna photo with patriotic colors, and this is the best we can do:

    Of course, we are taking full advantage of our extended holiday weekend:

    Yes, we are taking some much deserved rest, and with it the opportunity to restore mind, body and our living space. We are also contemplating the newly empty lot next door:

    A vacant debris-strewn lot may seem like an odd image for Independence Day, but it quite meaningful for us. And the gritty urban landscape represents our country as much as the images of family picnics and small town parades that are often used as symbols of the holiday.

    Weekend Cat Blogging: Red, White and Boom edition is hosted by Sir Tristan Tabby Cat Longtail.

    The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Mind of Mog.

    And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

  • Weekend Cat Blogging: On the patio

    Despite our busy schedule, we at CatSynth make sure to get some time to play outside on the patio.

    Luna often just strolls around, but sometimes she seems to really enjoy stretching and rolling around on the (rather dirty) tiles:

    Yet she somehow manages to still look clean and sleek and shiny afterwards…

    Weekend Cat Blogging #212 will be hosted by Meowza at Mind of Mog.

    The Carnival of the Cats will be going up this Sunday at When Cats Attack.

    And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
