Well, I have Tinnitus, so my head is always full of weird sounds, like ringing & humming.


Hang on, maybe you live next door to me.

No, still there.

I have dabbled in a fair bit of 'experimental' music production, loosely based around house/techno music. I tend to do most of my experimentation digitally, mainly because real synths cost real money! I've also put on a fair few parties in bars and clubs around london with friends in the past for fun, nothing too serious! would be keen to try and set something up in East Dulwich when I move there in a few weeks time.



What kind of 'experimental music' are you into?

alex, a mate of mine runs an experimental music event every few weeks around Shoreditch/Bethnal Green/Stoke Newington, venue varies. if you're interested PM me, his next line-up is 24 feb, he encourages (depends on) people participating and presenting their ideas. it's very interesting to the un-initiated, like me.

Thanks for the replies. I don't intend this to be anything serious, just a gathering with a bit of music for a laugh and see where it goes.


"What kind of 'experimental music' are you into?" - kind of like a more electronic version of John Cages indeterminate music, so quite soundscapey. here's a sample:

I've built a few out of wire coat hangers in years gone by - once made a Moog Synthesiser-like device from a circuit published in a popular electronics magazine.


Always been a fan of electronic music ? don?t have any musical talent, though.

Hi


I play guitar and enjoy making a racket. Also, I've been making stompboxes, fuzzes mostly, but am planning on making a Gristleizer. I do make electronic music too - I have a TR606, Reaktor, Sonar and have dabbled with Supercollider, but my PC isn't working any more. I'd be interested in meeting even if for a chat about what's good and what's not.

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
