One more piece of gear in the tipi, a keyboard with wires so that I can type in here. So far I have - 1 phone - 1 battery - 1 keyboard - 2 usb cable (for keyboard) I think that's not too bad. I'll have a small box / bag for the electronics and that should be all I need down here. I don't want to reproduce my studio setup... I could also just have my ebook instead of my phone so I would be out of reach at the same time. I like the phone as it works as my clock too... How much of my work I can do with this setup? I've also updated a wordpress broken plugin on the road the other day. It was impressive to be able to do that just on my data network, on suych a small screen. At least now I can gopher in a faster manner. I still need to configure vim to be a bit more optimize for my phone screen and install unison, which I need to copy the binary, and then sync my gopher hole to the phone. Not a huge problem, but it will make this remote editing a lot faster and consume less data, as I could do all the content creation offline and sync it once it's done. I'm wondering about audio upload.. Thinking about creating stuff on the smpltreck and pushing it to my gopher. I really enjoy how easy it is to post and listen to audio on gopher... And the ultimate would be to do my radio show from the tipi! There is actually an app on android to broadcast, and I could use my zoom, or maybe the smpltreck as an audio card and sampler players. Or I could keep my tipi time to be completely off tech! :D Well that didn't last long. I got the smpltreck down at the tipi. I used the plug that I have for the Octatrack to be usb battery powered... Did something just made the tipi move... Not sure if it was the wind. I pushed back the tipi a bit and it moved a bit more. I was wired for a second there... I can hear the wind in the background. There was quite a wind storm earlier today, not sure how the night wil unfold. I still feel unbalanced from my workshop with Nicolas Cambas. It really awaken something in me, a desire for intimacy, a desire for community, a desire to be desired and love. I do feel isolated here even if I am in one of the most beautiful part of the world... I still feel alone. I crave human interaction, but I still have a regular karate practice, meditation and theatre... I should get back into massage classes, that I used to offer way back in Montreal. I'm starting to understand this whole thing of contact improv. I used to find it so weird. Theatre is going well, we have one more week before the representation. I always get quite a blast for that, and then it's over. We'll see what will happen during the summer. I really would like to spend a lot of time in the tipi. Coming back to the smpltreck. Since it has a small speaker on it, and it can run on battery, it's more of a small instrument, like a techno kalimba of some sort. I want to make my own drumkit and see how fun that can be. I can then create a small sequence even to accompany my flute playing. Although it's yet another piece of gear in the tipi, it feels quite less 'tech' and more of a 'instrument'. I could even play it in full darkness which indicate it was well designed. Ok I start to be freaked out again. Dream time..
