Anyway, yeah. This weekend looms ominously ahead. On the plus side, mix CD coming at some point in the future from
catamorphism. Can't wait.Also, jam session with Ann went pretty awesome. Free-form improvisation is liberating but mentally taxing. Dave didn't show up, unforunately. But I smell the beginnings of a new band-like project on the horizon. This could be pretty cool.
Woot! Got a primitive recording setup working with adam's keyboard and his pentium 90, evan. I may soon be able to easily automate my dream of having a daily midi-format journal of improvisational foo. For now, just a brief recording of some changes and a melody I wrote at the beginning of the month, called "Blue February" for lack of a better title. The playing is pretty stiff, but I love these chords. Mmm.
Turned in the paper.
Watched some babylon five. Not a bad ep for fifth season.
Went to this crazy birthday party thing for someone adam knew populated mostly by a bunch of people I didn't know. I felt extremely out of place but still managed a little conversation.
Back home now, futzin' with the midi. Weird behavior! If I send a note-on, followed by another note-on with running (i.e. omitted) status byte with delta-time greater than 76 (yes, I did binary search) ticks, the next few notes are not played. However, if I insert a phantom note-off on low low low A, it forces MIDI.pm to put a real status byte for the second note and all is magically well. Crazy. Why 76? I can't fathom.
