And, granted, my machine is 10 years old now, so maybe this isn’t really an issue on more modern machines. (But still … 😅)

Creatures that live in the distant future will have no way of knowing that there’s anything but their own galaxy. 😳 No idea of the big bang, nothing.

Instead, I’m spending more time fiddling with music and audio stuff. Latest gadget, an additional microphone for my electric upright bass:
[Photo (1.6 MB)](https://movq.de/v/98c97d69ed/photo.jpg)
More expensive instruments often have such a microphone builtin, but not mine, since I went for the cheapest model available. 🤪
Normally, mine only has a piezo pickup, which sounds like this (headphones advised for all of these clips):
[raw_pickup.flac (1.7 MB)](https://movq.de/v/98c97d69ed/raw_pickup.flac)
It’s pretty dull, especially when using the bow. So, with that additional mic and some reverb, I now get this:
[mix.flac (3.6 MB)](https://movq.de/v/98c97d69ed/mix.flac)
Much better. I’m not 100% happy with the result, but it’s a big improvement nonetheless.
The mic alone sounds like this:
[raw_mic.flac (2 MB)](https://movq.de/v/98c97d69ed/raw_mic.flac)
… and of course, I’m still learning how to play this thing properly. 😅 Using the bow is pretty hard.

I just love how virtually all of the takes are ruined by Ricky himself because he bursts out laughing. 😂

Yeah, it was pretty windy here too. And then we were at 10°C today with some light rain, which was surprisingly warm. Sat on the balcony for a while. 🧘

We used to have it running on a Raspberry Pi in the office (this was 8 years ago, February 2015):

Nice photo. 👌 It’s all foggy here, can’t see anything.

It took me quite a long time to find out what bird that is, but I think I got it now:

Never seen such a tree, either. Then again, I don’t see lots of trees close up anyway. 🥴

Not one traffic jam, though. Looks like lots of people are still working from home as well. Put another way: Back in the day, it took *even longer* to get to the office due to bad traffic! Oof.
