This morning Rubia was suggesting a rather interesting note cluster for our next smash hit.

@spetku I loved the gardening and foodie content and #RubiaTheCat was rather curious about the cat content 
Continued thread
Well, that was an action-packed stream! 
Don't worry, #RubiaTheCat's is fine - only her pride got hurt, and she returned to her pillow soon after...
I just got myself a new webcam.
Fancy trying it out with myself, #RubiaTheCat and a bunch of (mostly) chilled, Sunday-compatible records?
If so, head to https://party.bonkwave.org
I'll probably be live for about an hour from now...

Hopefully there will be more, and properly announced and prepared ones at that, just not for the next month, as I'll be away from decks, studio and decent broadband.
... and #RubiaTheCat 
Well, that was unexpected: I went from having cancelled all plans for a live stream to holding an impromptu 6 hour Steam/DJathon!
(The ways of wibbly #MH can be mysterious sometimes)
Thanks to everyone who spontaneously dropped by¹ - I had a lovely evening!
¹including #RubiaTheCat who blessed us with her presence for the last half hour or so.

Oops, apologies to everyone who had liked and commented already- I wasn't meaning to make this a followers-only post, so I had to delete and redraft.
As a token of apology here is some bonus content of #RubiaTheCat, this time showcasing her (and @rybson's) incredible vocal talents and my lack thereof.

Slightly last minute for my time zone of choice here's my offering to the #caturday deities.
#RubiaTheCat was not impressed that I wouldn't let her in and feed her *immediately*
Hoomans, eh?
I think #RubiaTheCat is expressing pretty well how we're all feeling this #Caturday!

Another possibility is to use a suitable (optionally unique) hashtag - then it's easy for interested people to follow and for haters to filter out...
Eg, one can easily follow/filter #RubiaTheCat
Halfway through this evening's listening party for @catsynth's brand new album January Suborbital Denomination I looked up from the screen and noticed that #RubiaTheCat had joined in on the listening fun.
Needless to say we both approve of an absolutely brilliant album.
Rubia gives it
and urges you to give it a listen too!

#RubiaTheCat actually helped me test drive the free Audience Choir Kontakt instrument by Jacob Collier using the MIDI of her travels across the keyboards.
It's quite an interesting and fun library and works with Native Instruments free Kontakt Player. I'm sure it'll come in handy one day!
You can grab it at https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/vocal/jacob-collier-audience-choir
Just before the end of (my) #Caturday, #RubiaTheCat delivered the goods when I was stuck in a rut with my latest composition...

And for everyone who doesn't like to buy¹ the cat in the sack (as we Germans say), here's a short clip showcasing the sample's soothing sounds in this impromptu lullaby for #RubiaTheCat.

Me and #RubiaTheCat spent most of this fine #Caturday figuring out how to make an instrument for @dhilowitz's excellent #DecentSampler plugin.
For a first attempt we sampled the #vibraphone patch on my 40-year-old #Casio Casiotone MT-70 synth.
It'd be lovely if someone who uses DecentSampler could give it a test run and send feedback my way!
You can download the instrument at https://axwax.eu/downloads/CASIO%20MT-70%20(DecentSampler).zip and DecentSampler at https://www.decentsamples.com/product/decent-sampler-plugin/
Once again #RubiaTheCat has spent all afternoon enjoying the tunes (this time on main), although she wasn't really down with me trying to place my E-ink display-based #NowPlaying thingamajig on her beloved cushion.
Happy Birthday from both of us at AxWax HQ! 
Donate (and/or volunteer and/or share) today to make sure a kitten like #RubiaTheCat can continue chilling to @radiofreefedi's Comfy channel tomorrow and in the future!

As I'm still away from my lovely kittehs, this #Caturday features a repost of when #RubiaTheCat was on inspection duties to make sure I am doing a proper job cutting each olive to be brined individually before submerging them in fresh water.
I am wearing gloves as the olive juices can stain skin for days.
Once done the water needs changing daily to remove the olives' bitterness before they can be brined and jarred.

Just a gentle reminder that my track Schrödinger's Bonk would not have been possible without the hard work and ruthless but constructive criticism by #RubiaTheCat.
