Distant drums

Here I am in the studio, after a heartening chat with Prof John ("never mind, it sounds like enough ideas"), and wishing it would all work by magic. Alex (Fat Cat frequenter) has beautifully soldered two piezo-electric transducers to chopped-up jackplug cables; using them, I have made the Stamping Board. This is to be celebrated, possibly in song later.
MaxMSP is still being unhelpful, but at least it is giving error messages today when it refuses to do things, viz.:
error: couldn't load preferred audiodriver CoreAudio
bonk~ v1.3

It's frighteningly close to the date of the performance.

Someone is practising on the piano next door. I'm not well up in piano sonatas so can only tell you that the piece is romantic period, and it is lovely.
