Astronomical pursuits and rain are pretty-much mutually exclusive. What else do you get up to when the number one hobby is sidelined for a few days?
Like some others on here, I'm into fiddling with music and synthetic soundscapes. With the rain over the past few nights, I've managed to re-build my studio a little, and have mounted my current gear into new 19" racks to make my experience a little more tidy and manageable. Lots of aluminium angle and tech screws - great fun.
I like it fairly loud, so the rain outside is great as it dampens the sound making it out through my walls and windows. My neighbours like to let their damned dogs bark all night, so I don't mind it if they get to hear my noise once in a while...
Left Rack: Doepfer Dark Time sequencer, Doepfer Dark Energy analogue synth, Moog Slim Phatty analog synth, Waldorf Blofeld wavetable synth, M-Audio Axiom25 25-key MIDI control surface.
Right Rack: Behringer Xenyx X1222USB mixer, MOTU MidiExpress 128 and Dual-G5 Mac. A Korg Kaossilator Pro dynamic phrase synth/loop recorder and iPad/Alesis MIDI ioDock combination yet to be mounted in the lower space.
Desk: Behringer X U-Control UMX610 61-key controller and MacMini (Ableton Live 8 & iDrum) with dual screens running the show via Apple's CoreMIDI network protocols.
Hopefully it's clear tonight.... but if not it's almost OK
