I've been on a kick lately: trying lots of weird new things. Started a few years ago. I refretted an old guitar into a new tuning (19-EDO - 19 notes per octave). Put together a band with a parrot as a lead singer. I build a drumming robot out of servos, broken drumsticks, a raspberry pi and hot glue. I built my own analog synthesizer out of old junk, then built my own digital synthesizer out of cheap electronics. Why? I don't know. Maybe my brain sprung a leak. It's been a fun ride, though, and I think my songwriting is just a little better after all of that diversion.
