I add a new toy to my little music making set-up and I get the worse creative block in a year. :( I’ve been ill too, but only after a week of no output. Finally I have a small piece that I can put up. Maybe I can take some solace in the fact that it shouldn’t be so long again before I make something else? You can hear my first use of the Zoom H4n in this.

Nothing I’ve made in the past week sounds right. I fear that there is an element of repetition in the methods, sounds and melodies I am using.

The Zoom H4n’s (my recent purchase) manual has been consumed and I shall attempt to press it into action.

Hope to have something new here soon.

I had to do something to make it a little less unlistenable disturbing, unless I’ve made things worse?

For now I am just playing with ideas and concepts. The real fun is getting closer all the time.

I hope this fills the gap for a couple of days.

This is the result of playing around in Live 8, with Simpler, Reaktor and a Max for Live midi plug-in call the Schwarzonator, which is brilliant fun for someone like me, who knows what we wants things to sound like, but can’t play more than grade 2 piano! ;)

This little piece is dedicated to Imogen Heap, having to ‘Wait it out’ on her throat for tonight. I’m desperate to see her, but know she has to protect her voice. Get well soon Immi!

I hope this fits the brief?

I can’t believe a year has passed by since I started to share my regular noodles. This piece is dedicated to each and everyone of you that have taken the time to listen and encourage me. Thank you.

I hope there is something within the 200 that you particularly enjoy.

Whilst I will still put up regular bits and pieces, I now plan to start working on a ‘proper’ release, start painting again & pick up a camera soon too.

A special mention to my Nickie, without her, this, and any future output may never have existed. Niall too, bless him. :)
