Notes for this day
06:55
There’s a nice application called Shortwave, it plays online radiostation from all over. It’s part of the Gnome Circle apps so it works, looks and feels perfectly at home on Gnome. I use that to stream SomaFM.
I have been following the development of Cosmic OS, on my x220 I have an Arch installation that has the latest release in it’s AUR. Been a while since I ran an update to see what’s new, and if it’s getting closer to the experience that I have with PopOS. My perfect set up would be if System76 would have just continued to use Gnome, with their tweaks on top.
Saw this video the other day, with the fantastic Captain Pikant. He has some good tips for drum machines, and uses the TR-6s in the video. Which reminded me how great it is, and that I need to spend more time with it. I need to get back in to experiments with long form dub techno.

Just found out about this piece of software: Helio - looks like the perfect thing to compose some pads and leads with. Pipe that into Bitwig, controlled with a midi unit - overlay drums. Master the whole thing out.
