June Update

So I wanted to update you on what is going on and why I have been away for a while now.

I have the opportunity to have a bigger workspace, resources for my health and be surrounded by creative people. I am so excited!! Most things are packed but the heat outside derailed things. I am kind of afraid I will damage things and myself if I am not careful.

It will be so nice to get back to making music and creative things. It really helps me in times like these.

But that is it. So thanks for sticking with me and I can’t let you hang without something to look at.

Inspired by the movie “* batteries not included” and the fixit robots. The ball is mostly compressed foil from the pull tops from my dogs frozen treats.

Take care of each other. Kit

Big changes.

I apologize for the delay in content and all I can say is big changes are coming and I am almost certain it will allow me to get into a better position both mentally and physically. See you have to be open to changes as they are a big part of both the recovery and healing processes. It has not been easy and yes I still struggle so hard sometimes. But that is ok too. With acceptance I am reminded of actually how far I’ve come.

Thanks for sticking with me on this new and awesome adventure.

In the mean time this is a video of a repair I did on a busted Phonic Mirror :

Phonic Mirror & Tutor 202

A while back I picked up a device called the Tutor 202. It’s a voice/data device built on an 8-track cartridge to teach people how to read heart waveforms. It used one track for voice and another for a signal that would be converted to a pulse on the scope screen. Unfortunately, I had been unable to find any of the “programs” that would have come with it. So I was at a loss on how I might make a tape for it.

Recently I stumbled across this device called a Phonic Mirror. I picked it up in the hopes I can use it to make content for the Tutor 202. Sadly it came to me smashed due to poor shipping practices so I was able to get it to work, mostly. Plus with Jess help we made a milk crate case to put it in out of some birch plywood.. In a nutshell the Phonic Mirror is a tape looper that allows recording/playback of signals on two separate tracks of 8-track tape.

So this actually might be a way to record the voice/data tracks that the Tutor needs to work.

Stay tuned…
