Pretty dense time the past few weeks - Had 3 dear friends staying with me, at the same time as 3 of the guys involved in the Synclavier, which I am an avid user of. We all went to NAMM, and I'd also agreed to do some informal demos of the new hardware and software for some prominent film-sound and film-music guys here in town, all of whom are or were Synclavier owners/users. That was productive. At NAMM, there was considerable interest in the Synclavier name, which was interesting given the long absence of that company from the scene. The most interesting thing I saw at the show, by far, was this device, which was fantastic. The developers (pictured below) came over to talk to me about it at my studio, and it look as if I'll be doing some beta-testing for them over the next few months. There was a lot of work done on my Synclavier system, including building and testing a mini-system, which is ongoing. Also had meetings about the impending restart (and finishing) of development of v1.0 of the long-suffering "secret iPad project". Very pleased about this - more as it gets closer to being done.

All in all, a great time from start to finish.

Currently working on some music that I'm pretty excited about. Trying to get enough puzzle pieces made so that I can lay them out on the floor and shuffle them around until a record reveals itself.
