* <<F8V.0708>> PROJECTS
Lots of things I'd like to be working on right now.
Getting reacquainted with 6502 assembly the past couple of nights.
Bashed-out a simple little program to stuff random numbers into POKEY
and GTIA's player/missile registers; having to re-learn how to
restructure programs in assembly, how to do comparisons and loops –
basically everything.
Originally I wanted to write my chain sequencer to use display-list
interrupts for timing – that would give a 1/60 second system clock
– but in light of the fact that I have my DR-55 available, and the
Atari is already modded to accept a clock in the form of a BREAK key
interrupt, I might as well go-ahead and write it to work with the
external clock.
This also came to mind because I have been finding minimal
electronic/cold wave music to be inspiring lately, and the DR-55 has
a great old analog drum sound that I'd like to play with.
On the visual-art front, two things: I want to re-work some old
illustrations like Invex The Invisible Man and Atari Force Pyjamas
into a newer style. Invex is 5 years old, and the pyjamas piece is
even older – I've improved a lot since then. Those (and others)
are solid compositions, though, and I'd like to fix 'em up and sell
them as prints.
I also want to do some landscape painting. Digital, of course. I
have snapped a few photos with my phone camera that I think have the
fundamentals of strong compositions, but I'd like to abstract them
into good paintings. Not something I've done much of before, but
something I think I can do. I have to try.
My project for right this moment is to eat this bowl of ramen in my
lap. Terrible ramen – Mr. Noodles – but I stuck an egg, a sheet
of nori, and a dollop of red chili paste into it, so it might just
hit the spot.
