South Atlantic seen from Two Boats bar, from where we spoke with Robin the Fog (Howlround) for BBC Radio 4 on Friday about the album "History of Sleep" with Richard Youngs, released a week earlier on Good Energy Records, the Lindsay System project, LSC_PRINT&PLAY and more...

Thanks Ellen Prieschl for sending confirmation of delivery of PRINT&PLAY no.3, which sailed on the Sleipnir III from Ascension Island to Brest, Brittany. Any sailors calling at Ascension & bound for the UK or USA any time soon? (see bagpipe.news for the whole story!)

Great to talk with Big Rab for BBC Radio Ulster's Kintra magazine show, about the LSC_PRINT&PLAY project - our shareable extended range small pipe chanter. Includes a bonus potted history of Ascension Island! Thanks Rab :) bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Designing tools this morning in CAD, to model possibilities for the Lindsay System. Here's an example - this tool produces a model of a prototype a fully tuneable chanter. This would allow rapid recalibration to match different scale temperaments & drone tunings ; #lindsaysystem

A render in CAD, of the stamp going on pipes made while I'm out here. The design combines a rising "wideawake" (sooty tern), with ash cone Sisters Peak in the background. The outline representing Sisters' is the pitch-pattern of a "wide-awake" vocalisation we recorded at Mars Bay

"...experiments with gas flames placed before the end of an open pipe to make the vibrations visible, shew that the...forms of vibration...correspond with those of a violin string, except that...their corners are rounded off." Hermann Helmholtz "On the Sensations of Tone" p.93

It's time to begin sharing tidbits and wee insights into the making of "How've You Been?", ahead of its Scottish tour this August. Here's sun-up over Sisters Peak, Ascension Island. The tune is "How've You Been?", played on Lindsay System pipes. More about the tune itself later..

Fantastic to be back in the Lindstruments Ascension workshop after a great summer touring & building instruments in Scotland. On the workbench this week - can you guess?

Sign the petition to convince the BBC to retain its flagship piping radio show Pipeline, and its other specialist music shows on BBC Radio Scotland.
