193 – Dehisce

Here are the results of last night’s noodling. At lot of things are changing over the next couple of weeks, as well as moving home, it seems my day job will changing somewhat. I will still be working from home, but essentially for a new employer. All a bit nerve-wracking, but exciting nonetheless. Life feels like it’s about to burst open…

186 – Decayed

I’m fighting off a nasty chest infection, but I at least I managed to get Christmas Day out of the way before spending the next three days in bed. Frankly, I hate this feeling of decay in me. So here’s something sombre in tone that reflects how I am feeling right now.

174 – Dilation

Strange. This piece came out of a place so unexpected. Constriction, when you fear you’ve created an upset, followed by a wide-eyed discovery of acceptance of self-noted clumsyness.

A day of melancholy, of lives lost and friends remembered.

170 – Pno

I cannot play the Piano as such, but I do like to put Ableton into record, add a lot of effects to a piano sound and just see what comes out. I set the white keys to play a harmonic minor scale, but you can still hear the odd bum note. Some octave layering was used to thicken things and little quantisation was used to tidy up any truly stray timings, but this is essentially the output of a live stream of conciousness from v.late last night.

Erik Satie it isn’t, but I like it a little bit nonetheless.

168 – Gnosis

More experiments with number station broadcast recordings. This piece is a little darker in mood than is normal for me. However, it reflects how I feel today. Somehow, I feel I know all that is wrong, when all that is right isn’t close.

154 – Low

For the past few days I’ve been stuck with a bad cold, headaches, sore throat… pretty much the works. Another bad night of sleep led me to making this simple piece in the early hours. It’s not very complex, but at least it’s a little something that allows me to express how low I am feeling, but with the knowledge that I should be starting to feel better over the next few days. Forgive the rather grimy mix, my ears are not quite right either.

I hate lost weekends.
