tl;dr: Research is happening slower, but work on other stuff has started.

Hi! Progress on the next script is continuing along a little slower than usual mostly because I burnt out harder than I expected on the Time Cube video and had trouble focusing, so I ended up doing a couple of other things in the way of productivity.

First, a professional voice actor stepped forward and offered to lend his voice to a video! I think I know what I want to do with his generous offer, but I promised that these updates would be spoiler-free, so I'll keep it quiet. Suffice to say, though, it's in the planning stages, so it'll be a while before you can really see anything of it, but I think it'll be fun and neat.

Second, I looked into a couple of other potential Down the Rabbit Hole topics which I'll likely be using.

The thing that ate up more of my time was my new hurdy gurdy! I've been talking about it endlessly on Twitter, and it's finally arrived. It sounds absolutely gorgeous. My plan right now is to stream some of my practice on Twitch using my nice stage microphones so you can all hear what it sounds like. I'm a novice (I've only been playing the instrument for about five months or so) but it's an incredibly unique sound that I'd love to share with you all. I plan on doing a Down the Rabbit Hole on this instrument's crazy history in the near future.

Here's a picture:

And another of me with it (ignore the doofy grin):

I don't want to spam YouTube with hurdy gurdy practice streams, so I'll be doing it on Twitch. You can watch here, where it will happen later this week: twitch.tv/fredrikknudsen

Aaaaaand that's about it! I'll see you all next week.
