No Comments on Some musical ideas on Roland Gaia SH-01 synth, October 11 2015 by geoffmobile

After warming up on technique (in my other video here: youtu.be/86l1dR1R9BI ) I noodled around with some improvised musical ideas on the Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer. I especially enjoyed how using a fast delay and a repeated right hand pattern, I could make a shimmering fast musical riff (15:35). I also liked the big organ-like sound I got when playing rich layered chords using a Sawtooth patch (7:16).

No Comments on Piano Technique Practice on Roland Gaia Synth – Piano Scales, Chords, Arpeggios

I found that doing technique practice on the Roland Gaia helped me play better on this particular keyboard. Here is a video of my 30 minute practice session. In this video, I warm up by playing a bit of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”, and then I move into doing a series of piano-inspired technique exercises including different major scales, chromatic scales, scales in thirds and sixths, and broken chords. I find the challenge when trying to move these exercises from the full piano keyboard to the 3 octaves of the gaia, is to still give my hands a workout while only playing within the available 3 octaves.

No Comments on Best microwaved eggs recipe in Nordic Ware Egg Maker – review by geoffmobile

Geoff reviews the “2 Cavity Egg Poacher” for making Microwaved Poached Eggs, made by Nordic Ware.

Please subscribe :) youtube.com/geoffmobile

Ever wondered how to make poached eggs in the microwave? The Nordic Ware egg poacher is a great and affordable kitchen gadget to make poached eggs easily in the microwave. Great for a daily breakfast when combined with some unsalted mixed nuts, some washed baby tomatoes, and some yogurt on the side.

I prefer using the Egg Poacher method over using a mug because using the Nordic Ware egg poacher prevents the eggs from exploding in the microwave.

Recipe method (courtesy of Nordic Ware website):
– Crack 1 egg into each cup of egg poacher base. Pierce each egg yolk with fork, and add 1/2 tsp water to each cup. (Add water to empty cup if only cooking 1 egg).
– For 1 egg, cooks for 30-45 seconds. 2 eggs, cook for 45-60 seconds. Cooking times may vary based on different microwaves.
– Let eggs stand for 30 seconds before removing to allow eggs to finish cooking. Enjoy!
