I'll fight you for that title ! :D Picked up an offcut of fabric in a charity shop last month and thought "that'll do for a quick low-budget proof-of-concept" sewing project. It should have been literally cut once, stitch twice, cut once more, stitch twice more, done. Four weeks later ...

Most cryptic your messages they are ! 😄

:hi: Salut, MaxFRa ! Are you still in or around Bourges ? I live in the other half of the Berry, currently recovering from an intense week of music, dance, music, video, music, radio, music, stories and music all hidden away in the countryside near La Châtre. Lots of source material, if ever...

Have you tried singing to them to improve production? :D

I have taken note ... but will be otherwise occupied till at least some time next month to be able to go through any of my archives, let alone argue with my Win10 computer as to whether or not it has internet access for uploading anything of use. 😡

Seeing as I'm the one with the keys to the castle (if only for a week), Prince Leopold would probably be the more appropriate role! 🫅 Then again, if I get this new dress finished in time, maybe that'd be a vote for Maria ... 🤔

A few days later and I could probably have arranged a live backing track with a couple of hundred hurdy-gurdies all playing very slightly out of tune with each other (and maybe some real Germans chatting about their kühe) ... :D But for now, I'm shadowing your casting experience, trying to...

I read this through the day you posted, and thought it was a nice tight script, easy to visualise, and a classic story with beginning, middle and end ... but there was something bothering me about it that I couldn't put my finger on ... 🤔 Now I know what that was: Lyra has a flashback to when...

Greetings ! :hi:

Ah, don't think too hard about it! Nor too fast. I'm engaged in a private "observational study" at the moment, watching a colleague use a few different platforms as she lurches through the working day. More on this later (like, maybe a week/ten days/a fortnight later ... ) 😎

Salut, Mitchy !

Hmmmm ... I think this is where the greatest risk lies with this technology: Under the hood, so to speak, this is exactly the same algorithmic feedback loop that's employed by every online platform from Amazon to YouTube - an absurd, unblinking sucking up of the user's habits and...

Aw c'mon man : enough with these ancient compositions. Time to treat yourself to some modern music ... 😝 Better still, treat yourself to a talk on the intricacies of making a hurdy-gurdy : https://www.lesoncontinu.fr/event/pascal-cranga/ (that's on Day 2 of our festival in July)

😵‍💫

Along the same lines - the whales at 2m22s swimming backwards? Didn't spot that one the first time around. Otherwise, the only thing I picked up on was ... those damn cats again! The leg movements of the lynx at 0m37s and the leopards at 0m50s are "off". In the case of the leopards, the...
