Bowl of ramen, then back to the kaossilator

Yuzu Sio Ramen

Had dinner at a new ramen shop in Ebisu, not far from the intersection that leads to Shibuya. I tried their special yuzu sio ramen, which involves yuzu infused salty broth. It was very light, I didn’t feel that ramen guilt as I usually do after downing a bowl of liquid fat. In fact, this one had little bits of salad in the corner, as you can see from the photo, and the broth was light and citrus tasting, sort of. Not really filling, but left me with a nice warm feeling on a cool fall evening.

With no shortage of distractions and obligations, my music gear has been giving me the stink eye for not playing in a long while. Tonight I thought I’d have a go with my Korg Kaossilator and thought the results were fairly cool and maybe worth sharing. I usually like to play at about 140 or 180 BPM, but went for something around 80 BPM for this session. My screw-ups are pretty audible, but only last a second or so before I get the sounds to sync up again. It’s a tricky beast, but loads of fun and great for relaxing. Enjoy:
