Art & Technology Blog: Notes and commentary on design, illustration, music production and applied technology and development.
Not an Ambient Piece.
A throw away 1:40 thing from this morning, recycled this evening 😀. But with JP8 rather than Church Organ, and 16th note sequencer bass synth. Repeating 8 bar A Lydian parts for JP8 and bass. Threw in a Black Metal drummer, over playing a Simmons SDS-V 😮, to keep the Ibanez GRG7221QA-TBB 7 String guitar thru a Line 6 UBER METAL pedal company.
Spent all of 5 minutes with GROK and prompts around "Sanjo Kyoto Year 3000". Hope it is never built up like this, and anything new needs the taste of a Syd Mead if they do.
Put together in MOHO PRO12 Animation system as it really fast and simple to do this, and way easier than my Video editor Vegas Movie Studio.
This uses the same sounds as the other things I have done in the last 2 weeks since getting the Simmons SDS-V vst Electronic Drums sim. Love the metal guitar tone too.
Part of me feels there should be a blistering guitar solo with pick scrape, sweep picking and two handed taping of some interesting arpeggios, but I really like a simple riff or melody to hum. No one hums a blistering guitar solo with a zillion random notes in it.
I would normally just put an image of the audio waveform in a video like this, but had the random idea to use AI future Sanjo Kyoto instead. It takes less effort than preparing the audio waveform!
AI has so many problems. In this case, I have no idea where the training data for these city images came from, but do know you can't copyright them. In this case, it would have taken me weeks to paint images similar to these, and so I wouldn't have done it. In Grok it was all of 5 minutes, which is fine for a disposable little video 10 people will ever watch.. Would have done a manga like scene instead, as the ROI to do it isn't worth it.
The music is the main thing here, but I didn't really take any time to do that in this case either. There is nothing stereotypically "Japan" about the music at all. BIGBOSS KYOTO is at Sanjo Kyoto which has a nice collection of very metal guitars, so I don't see this as out of place at all.
Also recently learnt about Rikugo 六合 a Kyoto Prog Metal "Dark Rock" band, and have been listening to their material the last few days. They are the support band for the September Freak Kitchen Japan Tour. Girl Punk band Otoboke Beaver おとぼけビ～バ～ are also Kyoto natives.
So to me, heavy/ metal music is very much a part of Kyoto.

Then stayed inside all day and made two pieces of music and accompanying videos on this cold, slightly snowing, sometimes sunny Kyoto today after a very busy day out yesterday, where we ended up having some lovely Ramen at a place in Kyoto JR station.
So is this 1980s music sounds with a 1960s cartoon vibe, I wonder?:
I would have loved to attend this local car show if I had know about it.

Not exactly his words, but his meaning.
I "retired" 6 years ago now from my engineering/technical career. I originally went down that path as it was an audio engineering hobby I turned into my career. But I don't do that any more, it became just work, the job, and even if there was satisfaction in making something, it was just a job.
The music stuff I do now, to almost no views or plays of the things I release, is the result of my playing with my very inexpensive music instruments and Reaper based DAW. Consider myself a Producer and not a Guitarist. It is all just Play, and even if getting no Bandcamp or YouTube plays doesn't feel great, it is the playing with the gear, solving musical puzzles in time (a bit like Tetris isn't it? ) that is fun and rewarding, and I don't need any financial reward for doing it. It was never my career, and I never tried to make a living at it. The capabilities I have in my tiny studio with a Reaper based DAW and being able top release stuff on Bandcamp and YouTube makes this the best time for a hobbyist like myself. But that is partly as I don't need to make any money from music or my comics. I only ever bought music making gear out of the money I earned from my Illustration work, not from my tech career. Seemed appropriate.
Not my only Play things though. Making comics, drawing and going to exhibitions and sitting in cafes drinking coffee, and a few other things, is play to me too now. I had never thought about retirement, but very happy to be in the position I am now.
My latest Music Video above is extended from a music+comic I recently did about Osaka Expo 2025. This track is twice that length and has more parts though. The Track EXPO on Bandcamp is another, just take it track.
Getting the Simmons SDS-V vst has been a little inspiring, even if the last 3 tracks have pretty much the same drum track! That sound and distorted guitar, and synthesizers is a very 1980s sound I think, and I love it. Had so much fun have ordered an Akai MPD218 pad controller and see if that sparks some different finger drumming world to me. I have no desire to learn to play real drums at this stage of life, so a V-DRUM kit is not required, even if I did give it a second or two of thought...
I still use Winamp to play my music on the PC, but rarely use the visualizer in it. But after thinking about how to put this track EXPO on YouTube, and do something different from my previous videos, it seemed an old school and cool thing to try. Used OBS to capture the visualization, then resynced the audio to the master track and added title and watermark in MAGIX Movie Studio.
All Just Play.

During the mid 1980s when I was designing complicated 16bit digital audio systems, I was fascinated with Simmons style electronic drums, and designed my own analog/eprom based system.
I made a playable kit around a guitar stand, a kick drum pedal and 4 pads on a sheet of MDF about 35cmx25cm. A pad being: piezo sensor glued to 15x11cm 3ply with a thin rubber layer on top and 4cm foam on the bottom attaching it to the main MDF. Kick drum support was aluminum angle.
My design was about minimizing stick noise in a tiny practice kit with a big sound. I lived in a small rented apartment and making any noise was out of the question. Still have the drum sticks, but threw away the rest many years ago. For a time, practicing with this was a lot of fun, and a real eye opener has to how difficult playing drums really is.
In the 2000s I tried to buy a used Simmons SDS5 to SDS8 on ebay a dozen or so times, but was never successful. They sold for the kind of money I didn't have.
When I much later started using the Toontrack DRUM KIT FROM HELL vst, I realized the provided drum patterns, developed from a real drummer playing an electronic kit made such a big difference to how my tracks sounded. I rarely make my own drum patterns now, but when I do , I may play part of the them on a small keyboard, then edit with a mouse.
Except these kind of are. My last 5 music+comics have been like this. Like a buskers Fake Book, or not remembered correctly, close, almost cover versions.
I want to do original music, then here, almost well known songs.
Not the thing can put on YouTube or Bandcamp, and fair use is not a universal concept. For example it does not exist in Japan.
The lyrics are what people remember, or mostly remember...
Interesting thing to try for a change. I basically gave myself a morning to record and sing a 60sec piece of music, then make a music+comic around it. Hadn't played the song before.
So I usually look up the TAB for it. Find the track on YouTube if I don't already have it, and open up my template for this stuff. Same drums and default instruments and set the tempo. All of these songs here use the same three ultra simple 4/4 drum patterns. Record some verse chorus like bits and ram them together. I play the parts, they way I do my original stuff. I am NOT trying to copy the original artists.
Other than maybe a hint of a Scottish accent in the singing maybe 😀.
Then have 3 or 4 attempts at the singing and keep the best takes. So it isn't that I spent any time practicing these songs I don't know. Part of the incorrectly remembered feel.
Thing is, as I don't own these songs, there is little point in spending much time working on them, learning them, other than for the educational value. To me anyway.

IT'S OUR TIME: A track in that new genre "Retiree Pop Rock". Has a simple catchy chorus and no verse lyrics as you can't remember them any way...
Not my country, but no doubt the ripples will impact us in the rest of the world. I see Prosperity Gospel followers I know in Australia cheering him on, to make America a "country of god again" or something to that effect.
I did the music first for these MUSIC+COMICs and that is always 3 or 4 8 bar verses to fit under the 59sec X/ Bluesky, and this Blog also has a 50MB upload limit. At this tempo makes it 45seconds long.
So the original song is 4:40 minutes, and I am not doing a "like the original" cover. Doing it the way I do my original stuff. Lots of CHUG. This is just "EDM drum machine" drums, guitar and vocals. The guitar is my Ibanez GIO 7 string with a very metal Line 6 UBER METAL plus cabinet IR tone.
All put together in MOHO PRO12.
I showed the last animation above to a guy from Ohio, and he gave a very reasoned answer.
"Adrian Bruce most people in the US don't read or watch the news, and sadly of those that do, a large percentage only read right wing sources that are 100% biased towards Trump and the republican party and will blatantly lie about what they actually plan to do.
Most voted for change, because things have been hard and getting harder. Harris didn't make her campaign about that, on top of being a black woman, and that cost her enough votes to lose.
And a final point is that while Trump did get the most votes, he didn't get a majority, though it was just under 50%. Even so we are stuck with him for 4 years or till he dies."
If you want to be unkind, you could summarize that as the majority are ignorant, misogynist and racist. These are the same qualities the British that voted to leave the EU had too, so not just an American issue.
For a democracy to work, the public has to be informed, and it would seem most Americans aren't. They had it tough and the news they heard was TRUMP will fix it. They may not even have been aware he was a pussy grabbing rapist felon that lies all the time. Voting, unlike in Australia, is not compulsory, and elections aren't held on weekends when most people aren't working, and not all states allow voting by mail. Many people don't vote, and that seems to be a feature of the American System without even getting tothe Electoral College, rather than a bug. Generally a good guy, Steve Wozniak (That original Apple engineer), doesn't vote, and says both sides do terrible things, like the Vietnam war etc.

Had some ideas for the settings and how I would do them, and the finish they could have. I could also reuse a character I did previously. Did some concept sketches and have a page of comic page thumbnails.
Because of the complex setting, I could use my ancient Animation Master to do most of them in 3D. Mostly as I just need still images, and I can still use the modeler and renderer. I tried to learn Blender a few times, but don't want to spend the time on that kind of thing any more. Took way to long and I still got no where with it.
So after that brain storming and planning, will I go ahead and do it?
Haven't decided, as I know it will be a lot of work, taking many days, and may not be the best use of my time just at the moment.
It is something I will give away, but I still need the ROI to be good enough. The fun per hour has to be high enough, and the hours not high enough to wear me out. All self inflicted of course while doing a project.
Coming up with the ideas and concept is fun and quick, but actually making the work takes real effort.
I have all these free to download Adrian Bruce Comic Books here, that get little interest. Expect the reception of any new one to be the same, the way they are very niche.
Maybe doing a cut down version of the story as 4 or so 59sec music comic animations would be better. My music+comics are not something that many look at either, but making the music has a high fun factor and I listen to my music way more than I re-read any comic I have done. So the ROI is high.
So will I?
Maybe not...
Just making short bits of music and short music+comics then adding the music to an album on Bandcamp, like this Assorted Bits 2 is recently the most rewarding thing I do. And that isn't because anyone else looks at them, or they get any likes on social media. I find the process interesting and results listenable.
I like making my own stuff.
--------------------------------------------
Went ahead and did a simplified version of the story as 3 x 59 second music+comics and here they are concatenated together as a 3 minute video:
Did them as 59 second videos as that is what is easy to post on Bluesky/ X. But that would require posting them some days apart, and quite likely, just go unseen in the rushing river that is the timeline of social media. Making a YouTube video makes it more findable, and linkable.
Did the visuals and then did the music to all of them at once. Going for the first sections as BRIGHT, SIMPLE, CHILD LIKE, then it goes B/W and dark.
Should it be MIND'S EYE, rather than MINDS EYE? Yes, but I am not going to change it, as it doesn't matter. I am more interested your emotional response to the scenes and music...
The Reaper project, showing videos as the top track. Seven string guitar, MS-20mini & VSTs.
Much ends up being Jupiter 8 chords and lead 7 string distorted guitar. Just an off the cuff choice. Works for me.
Have put a version of the 3 Act soundtrack on Bandcamp, with the sections spread out more as a single file. That is here on Bandcamp in the Various Bits2 album. Not that anyone but me will play it. It is there so I can rediscover it in a few months when I have forgotten it completely.
--------------------------------------------
Illustrations all done directly in CorelDraw without any working pencil sketches to base a scene on. Have enough experience I don't need to for these simple things. Some wireframes.
They mostly end up as .png files with transparency as that is what is easiest to work with in MOHO Pro 12. Something like the Control/Machine Room ends up as a multi-layer .psd that is converted into a one of many switch construct, where only one of the options is seen at a time.

"Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple"
I replied to a post on Bluesky, and the reply mentioned my eclectic interests that they didn't have.
Same goes for my own original music. I am trying to be original, and not sound like that famous band. So not Steely Dan, or Iron Maiden or who ever.
Being a hobbyist. I was a professional, but find being a hobbyist is so much more fun and full filling now.
Eclecticism helps me with that.

Went to a large UTAGAWA KUNIYOSHI ( 1798 - 1861 ) Exhibition in Nakanoshima, Osaka Thursday 2025/1/23. He was one of the last masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock printing. No photos allowed, except for 3 of his most famous works, but bought the full color 323 page exhibition book.
Lots of samurai, monsters, ghosts, lovely ladies, landscapes (he is the guy that did "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō"), comical stories and cats. Lots of comical cats 😀
Walking along the river with all the huge office buildings was kind of nice.
I had no memory of the stairs to Exit1 out of Watanabebashi Station being so long though. I had to have rest twice climbing them! About 3 floor worth. Next time I need to check where the elevator is.
Had been to the metal frame and glass structured building next door before, but first time to the main black museum building.
The first Exhibition for me in 2025. Expect to go to a few more as the year goes on 😀, just don't know about them yet.
Off the cuff 7 string DROP G# ditty in the animation is also here on Bandcamp
UTAGAWA also did single page illustrated stories, which are kind of early manga to my way of thinking. An interesting approach. An illustration, with a story at the top. So I tried something here along those lines, on CATS:
This is of course based on my own cat, or rather the cat I am the emotional support and servant human for. He is a small person to me, who communicates without any problem. I find that fascinating.
Another thing that happened recently is I finished the included free with prime Oppenhiemer. Saw it over about 5 days in 4 sittings. It is at least an hour too long. It is interesting to me that Americans, generally, rate it far higher than other countries. I don't think it is a great movie. Considering all the things included, and excluded, it does not do the subject justice, even if the focus is just the man himself. I find it difficult to believe that some people find the non linear narrative hard to follow, they just must not be very bright...
A few lines I really liked though, without giving anything away, "it was me that made the decision", "Don't let that chicken liver in to see me again", "maybe they were not talking about you, but something important" and "a senator from Massachusetts, J.F. Kennedy, didn't like...".
Cyberpunk Edgerunners is an animated series on Netflix have started. The colors are really something. A European director, but animated in Japan. But I do wish some one would do a future that is bright and fabulous, and not a dystopian hell hole.
It Might Get Loud, a documentary talking with 3 guitarists, has an interesting structure.
But it is Link Wray - Rumble that is the biggest shock to my musical education. I have no memory of ever hearing this 1958 track before. The start of distorted guitar rock that really hits the spot. And I wonder how that could be.
Just by growing up in isolated Australia in the 60s & 70s, dominated by Payola TOP40 AM Radio, I wonder?

I have a photo of me when I am 3 years old with a Ukulele. Mother said I loved that instrument as a kid. I have no memory of it, but it makes sense now. I wanted to learn to play the guitar in Junior High School, but mother thought that was a stupid idea. She only ever listen to talk-back-radio, never music.
When I left Fairlight Instruments in 1986, I was given a MADE IN JAPAN 1984 SQUIRE, my first not rubbish guitar. I still have it. The only guitar I had for 35 years!
In 2005/2006 or so I discovered the Reaper DAW and got more serious in home recording again after a some 18+ years of midi only sequencer music making using a Roland D-110 multi-timbral and other synthesizers. Used MicroLOGIC for the longest time and hadn't touched the guitar.
I shielded it, and replaced the bridge pick up with a DiMarzio DP117W, a white HS-3. That finally got rid of the hum that had bugged me for many years recording with it. Standard single coil pickups are just not useable in High Gain tones.
The Tremolo, no matter what I did was always just a detuning leaver, and my solution was to put a wooden block in it. That also stops the boing boing of heavy down picking. I never learnt how to use that Tremolo.
The twilight years is an idiom that refers to the final years of a person's life. It can also refer to the transition to retirement and the time after retirement.
To me it feels like into retirement until your final days.
I had never thought about "retirement". There was always career and family, the need for money to pay the bills, interspersed with my own interests in the spare moments to fill my head and time.
I had a friend Greg, a few years older that was a primary school teacher, that retired. He then spent 3 years in his garage making model based special effect films. Like this:
Greg then very quickly died of cancer.
All seemed such a waste, and you never know how much time you, or the people you care about have left.
So 7 years or so ago, when my wife said she wanted to move back to Japan, and we did the numbers, was the first real time retirement was a thing to me. It was time. Had never considered moving back to Japan after leaving in 2001, but there were many things that made that very attractive, as a short trip in 2018 made very clear again.
Retiring from my technical career was such a huge stress relief. A massive weight I had carried finally gone from my life was something that I had NOT expected. That alone probably added years to my life.
I am amazed, my wife too, that 2024 was like "the best year ever" for me with my own creative endeavors, visiting exhibitions, friends and other events. And none of that really cost anything at all compared to just our living expenses.
I don't have any "goals" anymore. Just do the things that make me a "happy camper" and be with close family.
Hope the years moving forward are just as good, but I realize getting around gets harder the older I get, so don't know how many years that will be. Keeping fit and controlling your weight is very important.
The party just ends when it ends...

Some days, the most creative thing to do, is just enjoy the warm sun on a REALLY cold day.
The bed gets the sun across it much of the morning, and our cat stakes out that spot in the last weeks.
You need time without constant distractions to recharge your creative battery. Today is such a day for me.
Wife is out most of the day and I don't have anything I need to do, except whatever the cat tells me to do, that is. I really can't call him "my cat", as it is very much a situation of "I am his human" .
So a time of rest and random thoughts.
Have been playing with the 8 and 7 strings, recording into Reaper, that I recently refined the plastic nuts on, and that has really made such a big difference to tuning process and pitch stability. Have also adjusted the EQ and "C4 trick" for my metal tones and love the current sounds.
Have also done a few Distorted Guitar, Synths + Sequencer music clips that combines the things I like in my own "original" thing. An ex-boss said "Reminds me a cross between John Carpenter and the Theme music for Beyond 2000! Sounds great!"
To me that is a great compliment. A track in this style:
I now need time to come up with the next thing to use that with, or direction to go, but I am in no rush. I have no fan demand to satisfy, no sales or play goals to meet, no follower base to grow, just my own internal creative forces to deal with.
You just don't know what the future and events throw at you. Like I have had this terrible cough for over 11 days now. Better than it was, but still keeps me up at night. And coughing fits anytime mean I aren't going outside far at all much.
So a time of rest and reflection.
Just let those thoughts percolate. There will eventually be a "a ha" thought that I then move on with.
During a routine hospital visit, my grandfather fell in a hospital corridor then died during the emergency surgery he needed. That day didn't go as he expected at all.
Some 8 years ago, when I had surgery, I had to sign that I understood anesthetic was dangerous for someone of my age. I think of my grandfather and his end, some 40 years ago now.
Just random thoughts, because I can, and don't have to focus on anything.
There is so much highly opiniated, wrong stuff on the internet. You are most likely to read the fix for a sicky guitar nut is to immediately replace it with a bone or TUSQ one. Maybe the BEST solution, but the correct answer is to first dress the nut correctly with files. More than likely, all that is required.
For the 7 and 8 string guitars I have, seen so many posts about needing to replace the pickups, which is just all so extreme to me. I am with Glenn Fricker on this. The issue isn't the pickups, but the EQ and gain applied to the guitar signal, mostly through the cabinet and speaker. I will say though, as I am after High Gain Metal tones, and not playing, jazz or covers of different bands of the last 30 years, my criteria is NOT as a session guitar player. I am also not playing into a LOUD, real amplifier, where inserting a boost pedal changes the response you feel when playing. The time I did replace a guitar pickup, it was to put a humbucker in the bridge of a Squire to kill the 50hz hum of the standard single coils in the metal tone I was after. So my situation, DI in a tiny home studio with amp and cabinet sims gives me a lot of control.
My background is as an electronics/ audio/ music engineer, so many myths "guitar/ audio/ recording/ HiFi truths" extolled on the internet are the rantings of wacko religious cults to me.
A time of rest and reflection.
The late '70s tech industries I studied to get into almost don't exist now. HiFi is mostly gone, Recording Studios have mostly been replaced by the musicians home project studio and musicians, for the most part can't make a living being a jazz/pop/rock/metal musician. I also loved the 1970s book cover artwork of paperbacks and album covers. All that has pretty much gone too.
But in 2025 I am grateful I can make my own music and art in my own tiny studio and release it to the world. Even if just for myself. Being retired and off the "must make money at this" treadmill allows me that freedom.
Those Swings and Round-Abouts...
A day of rest and reflection.
Then the very next day we did this in a few hours:

And I came down with it after they left, and still have it. Mild but annoying. One of the joys of being a grandparent. All the sharing.
It has been very cold around here too so haven't been out much. Snoozing and noodling around with some music production & pondering comic ideas. Doing what the cat wants me to do. Trying to do something musically a little bit different, as I feel most of the recent stuff I have done is pretty much variations on the same piece of music.
I am most likely to play something well if it isn't new, and keep falling back into doing the same things.
I am not using standard song structures, and in fact try to do something completely original, or unexpected. Most pop songs are all the same construction, and not what I am after at all.
Came up with a great idea for a SF story a week or so ago. Not sure I want to do it as a comic though. Done a few comics, such as these:
Maybe it should be more an illustrated short story. That seems to be a more efficient way of doing something, so that it doesn't take for ever to finish.
I haven't decided anything, and really just want to relax at the moment. I had decades of working thru holidays and don't need to do that any more. I will wait at least until my nose stops running.
UPDATE: 2025/1/12 Been sleeping much of the last few days. So so sleepy, and then there is the coughing. Haven't bothered with social media. X is just terrible now and not worth visiting, and Bluesky, after an initial inrush of new folk a few weeks ago with lots of lists of what looked like interesting people to follow, is pretty much not actually interesting posts, and so uninteresting for me. Facebook is just for a few groups I am in.
I tend to think Social Media has run its coarse and will go the way of Myspace. Engaging mainly the type of people that got high on day time soaps and The Jerry Springer Show of old. What the vast majority of people post isn't worth the effort to scroll through. Popularity seems mostly about how trivial or rage inducing, or oversharing something can be. And with no holds bar on disinformation now, not being part of it seems for the better. Haven't missed it at all the last week.

I made quite a few MUSIC+COMICs last year, and started 2025 with one too. See above.
I haven't seen anyone else do the same thing. An under 60 second (to directly post to Bluesky and previously X) "animation" with music as a soundtrack and a Newspaper strip-ish comic with animated speech balloons and other images. BUT it isn't an animation and there is no voice over.
Just combined my own interests of mostly "slice of life type comics" and "original music". The music doesn't support the comic, and the comic doesn't support the comic, but gives me an outlet for both.
The 48second music track of the above in Reaper looks like this:
I have made some these in the YOUTUBE SHORT format too, but they aren't something Google shows to anyone (unless you make and post one daily, or something close to that to appease the algorithm) , so no one sees them unless I post to Social Media, where the chances really aren't any better. 😂
Such as these single digit view counts, that are probably just me
I see these all as experiments, and some work better than others. Most of the time the subject of the comic is something I come up with "off the cuff" as I see how a music clip sounds as a movie with the waveform in MOHO Pro12.
I discovered years ago actually doing an animation is just too time consuming, with a similar amount of views, so the ROI of my time is just much worse.
MOHO Pro12 makes these very simple to do. Moving images around and text balloons synced to the soundtrack is fast and easy to do.
MUSIC+COMICs has the right amount of satisfaction to me against time taken to do, to make them an interesting creative outlet. Often I will then extend the music to a 3 or 4 minute piece of music, if I like the ideas in it enough, and release it on Bandcamp, where again, no one plays it except me.
And we extended the track, and is now on Bandcamp in a collection here: CAT HOPES 2025 EXTENDED.
And this version on YouTube showing the very minimal production. Few tracks and no automation in this case:
Making and releasing these things keeps me "a happy camper". At the moment anyway.
Over the last 5 years I have done more of one of my interests than others each year. I have yet to find the "thing" I will focus on this year.
For the next week at THE MUSEUM OF KYOTO till next Monday there is a display of art from young Kyoto artists I plan to go have a look at. Sanjo is a pleasant place to visit for me and even though it has tourists, it isn't crowded like the other places downtown, and I get to go to my fav café and restaurant.
For another month there is also the wood block print works of UTAGAWA KUNIYOSHI in Osaka that I have already got my ticket for.
These things may inspire me somehow, or at least I do a comic on something about my trip and impressions. Way more than anything on that time wasting, infinitely scrolling, Social Media platform of any flavor.
