Weekend Cat Blogging: Luna and Monome
This weekend we present a photo of Luna posing with the monome interface:
I like the desaturated grayscale version, but also the original color photo as well:
Notice that there is very little difference in the monome itself between the two photos. It is the new grayscale edition, with a silver front panel, white LED buttons and a black case. The monomes interface all have a very elegant minimalist design, but this edition is particularly well suited for our aesthetics.
I am hoping to use it tonight in a performance I am doing at a Lunar New Year party here in San Francisco.
Monome is a very small operation in the New York’s Catskills region. They design the interfaces and produce limited runs of each edition. We were fortunate to get one when they went on sale at the beginning of January. I thought this photo from their website, showing the team hard at work filling the orders, is quite appropriate:

And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Isn’t it interesting how cats gravitate to anything new…..and warm! Luna is lovely, as always.

I like the grey scale better too. You look all warm and comfy there. Have a very happy Valentines day.

Gray-scale’s nice, but cat-scale’s better.

Has Luna taken possession of monome yet?
Yeah, those two kitties are sure working hard, poor things.

Both photos looks nice and yes the change was interesting/ or unchange
What is a monome used for?

You tend to notice different aspects of a picture in grayscale .
Luna’s whiskers shine a bit more in the grayscale
Hope your performance went well.
