Hiya!<\/p>\n

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here, hasn’t it? Well, it’s been that kind of year. I warned everyone that the band blog would get a lot more political, but instead, I haven’t even had time to write political posts. Take political actions<\/em>, yes. (And also, write a lot of short fiction about assassins<\/a>. One takes one’s stress relief where one finds it.)<\/p>\n

But posts? No. And this isn’t one, either. This is about music stuff!<\/p>\n

When I was Festival M\u00e9moire et Racines in Quebec this year, I picked up a cute little noisemaker. It reminds me a little of a kokiriko, but much simpler and smaller, and played very differently. But it was radically underengineered, and the two small dowels used as spacers between clackers were absolutely not going to last – one even broke before I could get it back home.<\/p>\n

Which is where attoparsec<\/a> comes in. Matthew said he could totally make replacements out of brass for me, and that he’d actually kind of enjoy doing such a simple project to unreasonably unnecessary degrees of precision.<\/p>\n

To wit:<\/p>\n

Looks great, doesn’t it? The metal bits make it look so much more like an actual non-toy effects toy, rather than the Can$10 bit of fluff it is.<\/p>\n

So… yeah! Not something I made or even fixed but something which someone fixed for me. Yay! Thanks. ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
