Have you heard of the carnyx? How about Delia Derbyshire? Joropo? How many instruments have you seen made from PVC and played well?
I published a piece with 14 videos and narratives on music for the curious. Cultural and indigenous instruments, do-it-yourself innovators, and creative use of traditional instruments.
Curious? Read, learn, and watch:

I hope you love it! 🎧

So the inside plastic of my washer-dryer had a crack for a while.... One or two drops found their way in the inside... But now out of nowhere it now has three cracks in total.
Does anyone have any idea how and with what I could glue this? It has to last a few months...
Will throw it away when I move next year... So it doesn't have to look good...
Well it's been a bit since I've made any progress with the raised garden bed; getting laid off will do that...
But I've gotten my soil mix together, went with a 40-40-20 ratio for topsoil, compost, and perlite. That's all on top of the rotting logs, grass clippings, and coffee grounds that I've been adding in the meantime.
All filled up today. Now it's time to plan what to grow!

New blog post about @heartbaby :
Being your own label in 2025 (is confusing)
"[...]releasing music and actually having people notice and listen is very confusing. So I thought I would write some reflections on just that. The process, some questions and challenges of a small record label."

Does anyone have a source for #machineembroidery designs for #antifa patches? Preferably in the .exp format or a .svg from #inkstitch #makers #diy

I’ve been totally nerd sniped by the Nerdy Gurdy. It’s a DIY hurdy gurdy made from 3D printed parts and laser cut plywood. There’s a version on Thingiverse with all the files needed to print and laser cut all the parts (except for some hardware). There are also newer models that can be bought as kits or pre-built.
Since I’m not musical at all, I probably wouldn’t be able to play it. But the build seems doable and a lot of fun.

Some photos of gluing together some parts om the head, and there were twenty clamps to glue together the sides of the body.

Barista or Painter? Part 2
Testing the old manual method for comparison.
The result is clear: the traditional method works fine for the walls, while the spray setup is much better for the ceiling and corners.
The tech part? That small box contains a NodeMCU v3 and a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, installed in 2018.
Today I am also a painter. But I am a Barista and a nerd every day 🙂
