Primarily, (for me in any event), is musical and I’m confident in my belief that it… Continue reading Will The Difference Ever Be Understood?
D’où Je Viens Or My Creed
The things you need to be learned*: Tape down all the cables – you need to do it with duct tape and don’t try to be ‘economic’ about applying it – someone will trip or spill, guaranteed. If the connection breaks or is disrupted in any way there will be an abomination, it equals silence.… Continue reading D’où Je Viens Or My Creed

Vertical Deeparture
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench near Guam. In 1960, the Bathyscaphe Trieste descended to the bottom of the Mariana Trench near Guam, at 10,911 m (35,797 ft; 6.780 mi), the deepest known spot in any ocean. If Mount Everest (8,848 metres) were submerged there, its peak would be more than a mile beneath… Continue reading Vertical Deeparture
My Machines Are VI + I
The collection is growing slowly but steadily… now they´re seven of them, but one of them will not boot correctly or in an orderly fashion. Hence, six + one. A non-bootable machine is a malfunctioning machine and therefore not a machine in the true sense of the word. If you are not functional then you… Continue reading My Machines Are VI + I
