I've just moved into a new studio, so I thought as a way to get settled working in this new space I would start a new project, or rather continue with one that I abandoned almost 2 years ago...

The original Monday Audio was a project whereby I created a new sound piece every week and emailed the link out to my tolerant audience; some days it was mostly music, sometimes is was more abstract sounds, sometimes it was more an audio portrait of someone/someplace/something.

This blog is the new home of Monday Audio. hooray!

<---To get it started I recorded a concert ukulele with a stereo pair of contact microphones taped on with scotch tape (the good tape is still packed in a box somewhere).

I recorded several 8-bar loops of the ukulele on my Electro-Harmonix multi-channel looper, then I tried to sync that with an old drum machine:

Since that doesn't really sync very well I'll use the drum machine recording to derail the whole thing instead of keep it together. and add some analog synth drones for good measure.
