Same Old Scene!

When it comes to taking photos, I sometimes remind myself of the fictional detective, Wallander's, father, who spends his time painting the same lake-land scene over and over again, not to perfect it but because the process is a comfort!  I kinda know where he's coming from on that score.

But I suppose the real beauty of shooting the same thing, time and again, lies in the fact that no shot is really ever the same and doing it over and over highlights the subtle differences much more than it stresses the banal similarities. To mix the metaphor, it's a bit like that AC/DC quip that they really only ever made one album - but just recorded it fifteen times! The subtle nuances of our quotidian existence!

More of the same soon ...














Banal ole canal!





Edgymix!

Now here's a thing! Came across an ole vid I knocked up a while back which uses some computer music I made even further back - when I did that sound technology course years and years ago. It's utter you know what, I know, but in a strange kind of way that makes it all the better - especially when I have little recollection of how exactly I created it - apart from the 'Edge' style guitar bit you hear throughout (hence 'Edgymix', I presume).

I do remember though sitting down at my long since crashed computer one Saturday morning in the distant past and opening up a software package called Reason 3.0 and then, 16 hours later, thinking that I'd created a modern classic - well in my own mind anyway! Mosh at will friends!

More soon ...


No real instruments were harmed in the recording of this tune!
