When my MIDI setup becomes enfuckened have to then un-enfuckenate it knowing know full well that I am in fact the architect of the dilemma. Reminds me of the HAL 9000's dilemma with the exception that a) I am not an AI piloting a spaceship full of ghosts towards Jupiter. Sadly no one else in the vicinity is equipped for the task (not even Henry) so here I go to hopefully sort out the issue so everything can bomp, pssst, beep n sweep in sync with their neighbors.

A red sphere known as the eye of the HAL 9000 computer from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was adapted from the story The Sentinel by Arthur C Clarke who also worked extensively with Kubrick on the movie.

We brought this beautiful fern baby back from Birmingham with us so we could enjoy a taste of the tropics while we work.🌴🦜🌞🏝️ It is bringing us SOOOO much joy. 🤗💚

We didn't even know this spiderweb was there until the soot from our kiln painted it black. 🕷️🕸️

A spiderweb at the intersection of a steel ceiling and white wall was previously invisible to us until the soot from our kiln dusted it black making the delicate structure easy to see.

Een spinnenweb op het kruispunt van een stalen plafond en een witte muur was ons eerder onzichtbaar, totdat het roet van onze oven het zwart bestofte en de delicate structuur zichtbaar maakte.

Gewoon doorbuffelen in het kleine studiootje dat het toch maar doet.

Onze handgemaakte Halloweenkostuums en de personages die ons inspireerden staan direct achter ons. Hoe hebben we het gedaan?

Nos costumes d’Halloween faits main et les personnages qui nous ont inspirés juste derrière nous. Alors, comment on s’en est sortis ?

Katherine is dressed as the villainous Dr. Cable and Duane is dressed as her larger-than-life accessory: "Tally's Heart Pendant". Standing in front of the screen at the exact moment Laverne Cox 's character gives our Geoheart Pendant to Tally Youngblood (Joey King), we hope this brings a smile.

Katherine is verkleed als de kwaadaardige Dr. Cable en Duane is verkleed als haar buitengewone accessoire: “Tally’s Heart Pendant”. We staan voor het scherm precies op het moment dat het personage van Laverne Cox onze Geoheart-hanger aan Tally Youngblood (Joey King) geeft — hopelijk tovert dit een glimlach op je gezicht.

Katherine est déguisée en la redoutable Dr Cable, et Duane est déguisé en son accessoire plus grand que nature : « Tally’s Heart Pendant ». Devant l’écran, au moment exact où le personnage de Laverne Cox offre notre pendentif Geoheart à Tally Youngblood (Joey King), nous espérons que cela vous fera sourire.

Temporary tattoos and stickers of our original Geoheart design, worn by Joey King in Netflix's Uglies, were the perfect sugar-free treat at this Halloween party.

Tijdelijke tatoeages en stickers van ons originele Geoheart-ontwerp, gedragen door Joey King in Uglies op Netflix, waren de perfecte suikervrije traktatie op dit Halloweenfeest.

Stick-or-treat...get it?

Vorige Halloween hebben we HONDERDEN tijdelijke tatoeages en stickers uitgedeeld van ons geometrische zilveren hartontwerp.

Stick-or-treat… snap je?

L’année dernière pour Halloween, nous avons distribué des CENTAINES de tatouages temporaires et d’autocollants représentant notre cœur géométrique en argent.

Stick-or-treat… tu vois le jeu de mots ?

We're still not sure how we ever found the time to make our Halloween costumes with everything else we had going on. We must have been too delirious from the full week of all-nighters we pulled drafting, sewing, and assembling these outfits to feel the pain. 😆🧛🕸️
~~
We weten nog steeds niet hoe we ooit de tijd hebben gevonden om onze Halloweenkostuums te maken met alles wat er verder gaande was. We moeten zo slaapdronken zijn geweest van een hele week vol doorhaalnachten met tekenen, naaien en in elkaar zetten van deze outfits, dat we de pijn niet eens voelden. 😆🧛🕸️
~~
On ne sait toujours pas comment on a trouvé le temps de faire nos costumes d’Halloween avec tout le reste qu’on avait à gérer. On devait être trop délirants après une semaine entière de nuits blanches passées à dessiner, coudre et assembler ces tenues pour ressentir la fatigue. 😆🧛🕸️

The first fitting of Duane's Halloween costume! 🎃👻

Both costumes are still in progress as evidenced by all the pattern drafting supplies and fabric strewn about.

And Duane's costume still needs the applique for his black t-shirt and the chain.

Duane tries on his costume in the mirror while Katherine takes a pic.

Duane's Halloween costume is mostly assembled and getting a coat of spray paint.

The silver isn't as metallic as we would have liked, but at least it bonded well to the pvc.

Katherine opens a box of fabric from Mood.

Our Halloween costumes last year were pretty epic. So this year we'll probably take things a bit easier. But we'll share some recaps of our costumes and costume making that we were too busy making the darn things to share previously.

This is Duane's costume in progress as he was building it.

Any guesses what we dressed up as?

His and hers thermal sensors. ...Couples couplers?

We use this to regulate temperature during casting.

Two hands hold up thermal sensors against a white background. One is hers, the other is his. They're used for temperature regulation during casting.

Throwback to our early casting experiments when we were using low melting point pewter and creating a vacuum with pressurized mason jars.

Next week, @StudioTrad moves into our new recording studio in Aalst! One year ago, we bought an abandoned property and rebuilt it from the ground up—from raw construction to acoustic fine-tuning.

Huge thanks to the friends and family who helped along the way! Since March 2025, we’ve been crafting this space, and now it’s time to fill it with music, recordings, and collaborations. Excited for this new chapter!
