Current Interests
This will be updated regularly to detail the things distracting me. The sort of stuff playing on my mind when I'm staring out the window on the bus.
In maths in high school the teacher actually shut the blinds because I spent to much time looking at the trees outside. I'm of the opinion that you can't choose what you find interesting.
Music (because I'll always be interested in this one way or another):
- Reggae and DUB (listening), mainly for the purpose of mixing, but I'm enjoying the listening. Trying to be discerning with the tunes I select for mixing
- Ambient music (listening), on the Fripp and Eno end of things. I've never really been to keen on 40 mins of weird noises.
- I've been trying to make somewhat floaty, psychedelic loops on guitar, but I think I could do with improving my music theory knowledge to make finding good chords less trial and error.
General:
- Maps, more specifically I've been trying to plan out a holiday that will take me to hidden in place sight type places. Interesting things that many people don't bother to visit. Mainly large scale concrete things in the middle of nowhere.
- 3d printing, toying with the idea of buying one or whether I should try to manufacture with the limited equipment I have already.
- Wear, in the sense of things wearing out. This is a sort of photography project. It's easy to find things that have simply been forgotten and are crumbling, so I'm more keen on things that have worn out from human interaction. I might write a whole post on the beauty of things that wear out.
