finishing off our norns series, we dive into the wonderful world of strange, unusual and weirder scripts, that are in their own right pieces of art. this series was very fun to do and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you did as well. on the next ambient talkies we'll touch upon different topics, but worry not as norns and it's wonderful world of community driven scripts is bound to make a return sooner or later.
this is the final episode to this short sub-series for ambient talkies

monome & lines
sadly, as of publishing this video, I believe that due to worldwide chip shortages monome is not offering any more norns shields. however they do have small batches of standard norns on their site. you can get the standard norns or the grid (like I did) directly from their site and this way support monome

Hi! That's my script "pixels" at the start of your video. If you have any questions about it ... let me know!

[@tworoundrobins]

hey Arman! I'll definitely get back to you in the future, since I will certainly revisit this lovely script :) thank you for offering help!

[@edgeof60]

I love all the NC drone scripts, did not know their backstory. Thanks for filling this in, very informative.

[@tworoundrobins]

With pleasure, I like looking into the history of lines since I’m a somewhat newcomer to this world as a whole :)

[@newflanged_]

Thank you so much for showing us all these amazing scripts!!!! Never seen these before and they are all amazing!!! ❤️😳

[@tworoundrobins]

awesome, if you own a norns be sure to check em out. I'm pretty sure you gonna find something nice

[@tworoundrobins]

Norns all around ❤️

[@smacksalad]

Great script choice, and great descriptions, really useful. Subbed, thanks!

[@tworoundrobins]

thank for subbing!

[@JaggedNZ]

Had this video on in the background while working and something in the back of my brain said “rewind you missed something” … Thank you for featuring Nimbea! It’s like seeing an old friend again after many years. And if you have the track mentioned online I’d love to hear it.
And yes, there is indeed an esoteric inspiration behind Nimbea’s name and theme.

[@tworoundrobins]

Congrats on making it so damn beautiful! I really enjoy the visuals and the sound. Probably my favourite from the circle series :)

[@Hessencemusic]

did I tell your I'm a big fan of your videos? ok... confirmed again! :)

[@tworoundrobins]

Aw your too kind, buddy!

[@BinauralBae]

You: This looks a bit occultish
My brain at that same moment: Oh hey Sailor Moon

[@tworoundrobins]

it’s kawaii :3

[@Lodit24]

A great ending to a great series for a great device :) Stoked for what's up next

[@Lodit24]

Also, what's that book under your norns?

[@tworoundrobins]

Thank you sooo much! More interested stuff coming up! The book beneath my norns is called “A Wayfarer’s Heart” from Anathema Publishing. It’s something I picked up from Watkins some time ago. Basically little essays, journals about some esoteric, spiritual journeys and experiences by various authors. Definitely recommend it if you’re into that stuff

[@Lodit24]

@@tworoundrobins I'm not really into the more spiritual esoteric niche, but it sounds interesting either way :) til next sunday, I hope I'll be able to catch the full premiere that time

[@ketabrand]

Hey, thanks for your interesting content:) how can i install this script on my new norns?

[@tworoundrobins]

Heya! Thank you! For new scripts be sure you are connected to a network then go to norns.local and go to its library and you can install new scripts from there :) be sure to check monome/docs as well

[@The_Sound_Technician]

@@tworoundrobinsI’m equally wanting to know how easy it is to load new scripts…. Maybe you could do a video on Norns house keeping?

[@tworoundrobins]

@@The_Sound_Technician I think Peter Bark has a video on the subject that I recommend :) I also advise checking the doc page on Monome as it's really well written
