A Dose of Self-Doubt
June 23rd, 2008 Posted in music, technology, youtube
Do you ever write a bunch of paragraphs and then look back and decide that they are quite horrible and should never be seen by anyone ever again, including yourself? Yeah, I did that several times over the weekend. So, instead of trying to be unsuccessfully creative again, here’s a play-it-safe, YouTubey type post. This time it’s a synthesizer which while not sounding terribly fantastic has a sort of cunning input mechanism, which reminds me an awful lot of beaming around lasers in lab:
It’ll be very interesting to see what other pseudo-physical/visual music systems crop up with the immenent take-over of touchscreens.

For me the self-doubt doesn’t happen during the writing but rather after the publishing, which is, conveniently, the point at which it is too late to do anything about it.
That thingamagig in the video is well cool. It’d be great to have an afternoon to play around on it.

Hi Miss M,
Hah. Yeah, that’s even worse. It reminds me of working up just enough courage to click ’send’ on an eMail you are not sure about, and then realizing that you can’t retract that action…
