Finally made something I like with the @jugendingenieur Pocket Operator app for Pixel phones. The sample chop is obvious from the video, but the drums are: Kick: fist pound on memory foam mattress Snare: opening kitchen window Hi hats: finger snaps

Today we are celebrating this incredible woman for Delia Derbyshire Day 🎈 Having been rejected by Decca, where she was told that women were not employed in their studios, Delia Derbyshire joined the BBC in 1960 as a trainee assistant studio manager. (1/3)

You may notice Bernard Herrmann is credited as "Sound Consultant" in THE BIRDS rather than composer. That's because there isn't a Herrmann score in THE BIRDS. Herrmann and Hitchcock agreed to use bird sounds through electronics rather than an orchestra. #TCMParty #LetsMovie

The oldest public building in the second city, one of the few to survive the fire of 1871, @oldstpats is the spiritual & emotional home of Chicago's Irish community. What a thrill to hear Patricia Treacy's "the Parting Glass" echo through its alcoves.
The Parting Glass! Many thanks to Patricia Treacy, who played at President Biden’s inauguration, for sending this. It was recorded in Old St Patrick’s church, Chicago,built in 1854 by Irish immigrants. I love this tune and you will too. Congrats and thanks Patricia.

One thing I didn't mention in the BBC interview is why Universal wanted Bob Dylan's catalog. It was to block Hipgnosis and other investment funds. Good quote here by Tim Ingham:
