I finally bought myself a copy of Max4Live and just created my first device. LooperMonitor lets you monitor the states of up to 4 Looper devices in a Ableton Live set in a floating, freely positionable window.
I use the Looper mainly together with my guitar and control the Loopers with a my Softstep. Because the visual feedback of the Softstep wasn’t enough, I needed a better way to visually keep track of what the Looper devices are actually doing (recording, playback, overdub etc.).
I’ve been working on my new desk today. It’s turning out really nice so far :).
This is the first track of a short album I just finished. Gwishin - A Ghost Story. 6 days in the live of a 귀신 (Gwishin). From the day when the old self died and gave birth to another being, only comprised of thoughts. The only remnants of its former living form. To the day when the last remaining pieces of proof of existence finally disappear.
You can listen to the rest of the album at http://soundcloud.com/michaelklier/sets/gwishin-a-ghost-story .

I went to the Monsterbash 2012 in Berlin to see Refused live :). It was quite awesome!
Did another guitar cover. Skies Of The Millenium Skies from a band called SiKth. Too bad they broke up. They made some very unique music.

Just ordered the parts to assemble the case for my Arduinome. I hope to get it done this weekend :).

This is my next DIY project for 2012. None of the desks I owned so far were ergonomically good for making music at home. So I’m going to build my very own music workstation. Here’s a first layout I made in Google Sketchup.

It feels I’ve been working on and off on my Arduinome for ages now. The thing has been ready and working since maybe a year. But I never got around to build a nice case for it because I had to find someone with a lasercutter to be able to do so. Yesterday I was at the Fablab Munich and finally made the faceplates in satin acrylic. The only thing left is the case itself. I’m opting for wood. Doesn’t it look nice?
I am in the mood for guitar covers lately. This one is one of my favorite songs these days. “Warborn” from a band called “The Black Dahlia Murder”.

Today I began working on my Les Paul Special again. I’ve completely removed the finish now. Time to think about how my baby is gonna look and how to go about modding it with an Arduino Nano and a couple of sensors.
