Yesssss!! I have finally finished building my midi-octopus! I have also made some custom instruments for it and I’ve even written a tune or two. It has been such a lot of effort but I am really pleased with the results. Yes, there are plenty of opportunities for expansion and refinement but essentially I am ready for my debut gig next Sunday and I think it’s actually making some half decent noise.
Now I am at this point with it this site is in dire need of an update, but for now I hope you enjoy this video:
Sorry for slightly dodgy audio! Also I don’t why I uploaded this as HD but you can change it between HD & non-HD as you please.

It’s getting close to The British Science Festival and It’s a Geek’s World now, so I wanted to tell you a bit about what I am going to be doing there.
During the day I will be running a workshop for people wanting to build a Beat Box:
It’s a really fun and flexible project, so I hope you can join me to build one.
If you like the look of it and want to register to attend, please go to the It’s a Geek’s World website, click the register link at the top and register, and then select to come on the event. Payment of £20 to cover the kit cost will be taken on the day, before the workshop commences. If you experience any problems with this (admittedly slightly arduous) process please email me and I will try to help. Once registered on the site you can also select other workshops and events to attend.
Speaking of other events, as the festival finale I will be delivering my debut midi-octopus performance. I can’t deny that there is still plenty left to sort but I really like the results I am getting so far. I will post any images and videos I can to whet your appetite, in due course.
Hope to see you there!
