This little piece was the result of my noodling late Sunday night and into the early hours of Monday.

I’d spent the evening listening to The Blue Nile and Mark Hollis. This left me feeling incredibly bouyant and relaxed. This gentle drone was then made using Reaktor 5 and a rack of unusual effect combinations in Live 8. A little stretching was applied in places too.

From last night’s noodling.

As the latest flurries of snow began to gently fall, I revisited a recent piece and added some beats that sound like they are the result of sampled footsteps on the crunchy powder outside.

Whilst out at lunchtime, I spotted a formation of gently melting icicles. I think this is how they would have sounded if I’d listened carefully enough.

As the new year begins, I am under the weather still.

Flooding my bloodstream with Enthromycin now, after trying to fight off a chest infection for almost three weeks with Lemsip. I don’t like having to use antibiotics, but the Doctor said I ought to.

This is the first piece I have had the energy and the will to make in long while. It’s not great, but I felt the need to make something. It feels like I have lost my mojo at the moment. I need it back… and soon.
