Analogue-sequencer

Octopus seems pretty fun :)
There's a guy in town who's got one, I'll have to try and go play!

///  on another note  \\\
So I played my 2nd gig with the P3 this week (also my 2nd gig free of
a computer!) at the SPARK festival of experimental music in MPLS. It
was super fun!!! My set was really dorky/fun/random I don't really
know how to explain it but if anybody is interested...
*shameless self promoshun*
have a listen:
