this new year's eve i've spent alone on top of a remote hill. i was alone, but then some folks who knew too about my beloved remote hill came and went on lauchning fireworks. apart from that vivid demonstration of how diverse a human's psyche truly is—really, not a soul in sight, for the first time in my life, ever. and no cell reception either.

then i went back to my studio and spent some time with a LimeSDR, trying to tune in on to XXX's ATIS broadcast via an antenna that looked more like a bunch of barbed wire than anything else. finally, it worked. the snow on the window pane added to the distortion, and not only had I have a nice listening session, but some recorded material for future projects, too. pure bliss.

thinking about making this a tradition from now on.

last year's novelty: being sober and happily driving myself home afther the party.

this year: no more parties.
