9-28-12 FUKUSHIMA ALBUMS CHECKED OUT

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Friday, September 28, 2012,
I finished listening to the three discs.

I must say it is really different listening to a disc as a manufacturer than for pleasure.

I never cease to be amazed at how differently I listen when I am deciding what to do with what versus when I am just kicking back and enjoying some music, once all of that other stuff is done.

It is about 8:30 a.m.

I have been working for past 90 minutes but must get on road now.

Just wanted to leave a record of this.

I will not go into distribution details on this sit...

9-27-12 FUKUSHIMA ALBUMS DELIVERED TODAY

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Friday, September 28, 2012,
It is a little bit after 11 p.m. on Thursday night.

Am leaving for northern California in morning.

Am ridiculously tired and going to bed right now.

But wanted to document the fact that the Fukushima 2011 albums have been delivered.

I am listening through the three-disc set right now to make sure that all is well.

Am 1/2 way through.

So far so good.

Went to dentist today for appointment I made six months ago.

He was not at all happy about my jaw.

Is utterly amazed that I am alive, much less with so li...

9-25-12 UPDATE

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Wednesday, September 26, 2012,
It is a little past 10 p.m. on Tuesday night.

I will be leaving for northern California on Friday.

Expect to be up there on Saturday and maybe Sunday, but must be back in Ventura by Monday.

Will the Doppelganger ever come out into the open, do you suppose?

I will wait as long as I need to.

In meantime I remain accessible.

Other than that I can only wait.

And so, I will do just that.

Have been working very hard during past several weeks on top of trying to heal numerous broken bones and badly mauled e...

9-23-12 THREE NEW SONGS POSTED FIRST IN EIGHT MONTHS

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Sunday, September 23, 2012,
As seems all too usual these days I have people waiting for me and I really must go.

But, not before making sure that there is a post to the effect that three new songs have been posted on a new web page named "MUSIC - FALL OF 2012".

Enjoy.

Very moody and rowdy.

And finally, my beloved organ/s.

Yeeeeessssss!

9-18-12 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Tuesday, September 18, 2012,
Only in my twisted bizarro world would we be celebrating not one, but two anniversaries on the same day.

With neither of them falling on that particular day.

Yes, ffffolks, I truly did forget that it was the one year anniversary of this website.

In August of 2011, daughter SW and I put this site together in several afternoons, following months of theoretical discussion.

So, I have spent the last 12 months learning what it is like to get a  website up and running and to take care of ongoing mainte...

9-13-12 KONTAKT INTEGRATED INTO PRO TOOLS 10

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Friday, September 14, 2012,
My interest in synthesizers goes back to the days when they were first being invented.

I couldn't wait to get one.

It cost $2500 which was enough to buy a pretty nice car, at the time.

I saved for years to buy it.

I used it to learn MIDI and subtractive synthesis, and I was then hooked for life.

One of the main controversies during that time, to which I have alluded previously, was exactly how to make a convincing sound of an orchestral instrument or the human voice.

It all started with taking actu...

9-11-12 BYZANTINE NEUMES, ANYONE?

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Wednesday, September 12, 2012,

It is about 9:50 p.m. on Tuesday, September 11, 2012.

I got back from northern California and have been very busy during past two days and will be tomorrow, before I can even think about doing much other than what is immediately necessary.

I just wanted any who might care to know, that I am still alive and kicking.

I got some of my first sleep in weeks last night and the night before.

I actually was able to lay down on my stomach for awhile, most suprisingly, last night, as I found out upon awake...

9-7-12 PHOTOS OF DELPHI POSTED - UP TO THE TOP

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Friday, September 7, 2012,
I believe that it is Friday, September 7, 2012.

It is 8:10 a.m. and I am getting ready to leave for northern California in a few minutes.

Last night I finally finished loading the selected photos of the walk up to the top of Delphi.

There are more photos, taken as we went back down.

Those will have to wait for just a little bit as I finish up the journey upwards.

The site is simply one of the most magnificent I have ever seen.

One's imagination simply runs wild as one looks about and can only wonde...

9-5-12 MORE DELPHI PHOTOS POSTED

Posted by Vincente E. Woodward on Wednesday, September 5, 2012,
I was on the road through the weekend. 

Nevertheless, I was able to find a portal from which to post more photos of Delphi. 

There are currently 47 photos of Delphi and 15 of the tholos. 

The Delphi photos, so far, take you about 2/3 of the way up the mountain paths. 

Next up is an amphitheatre
and above that is the stadium. 

Both are large structural complexes. 

Am choosing which of those photos to post. 

Then we have to come back down, at which time we will look at everything from above, in...
