Andy Green

Welcome to my gemzone™ brought to you by electrons®

I'm slowly fleshing this out, so please come back later if disappointed.

Garden project

I'm currently cultivating a tiny patch of urban garden into a productive food source, with a focus on soil health and permaculture principles. This includes collecting rainwater, saving seeds, composting all food waste and a lot of fibre waste (i.e. cardboard packaging), and putting zones and microclimates to their best possible uses.

It's year two, the worms have moved in, and things are looking good...

Music

Much to the horror of my bank manager, I'm getting into modular synthesis. My baby is an all-analog Eurorack 84HP† 4U†† rack with two-ish voices, aiming to replicate 80s-style subtractive synths but with extra grit, crunch, and phatness on demand.

The case is built, the modules are in, and knobs are being wiggled furiously. I'd say I'm working on an album but who isn't these days?

About modular synthesizers

The Eurorack modular synthesizer format

† HP = horizontal pitch, 84HP is about 43cm wide

†† U = rack unit, 4U is about 18cm tall

Anti-modernity

Is this it? I believe we can do better. My thoughts are pretty scattered on this subject but I think a lot of people are experiencing the same thing.

Meta Nomad sums it up better than I could.
