A mountain that was too tall for the fridge, now recycled…
What do you want to recycle today?
Let’s recycle again, like we did last summer…

One tune becomes two tunes (albeit very similar)
Wow, another update!
I woke up and I really need to get on top of some chores like going to the laundrette to dry my clothes. I am working tonight and so since awakening an hour and a half ago, I have managed to stumble to the shops, sit down and work on my One Tune track. I’m getting better at using the tools I’m presented with, and now I’m at a height up the learning curve where it’s easier to see where I’m going (and where I’ve been).
chipko – One Tune Two.mp3 [6.7Mb]
There’s only one loop ripped from another track – see if you can spot it. Answers on a postcard called e-mail to the usual address. If you get it right, you can have a silly vocal track made about you (1st attempt coming up).
It’s where I need to go play next .. with some vocals…. Any singers out there fancy a shot? Elizabeth?! 😀
Enough for now, there’s some shopping to be done, some chores to work at and then I have to work 12 hours! The good news? I’ve hopefully got a new mattress coming in the next day or two….
* dum .. tish .. dum .. dum .. tish .. *
BBC Radio One giveaway free samples! [nothing new but you know…]
I made another track, this time, not by ripping loops from existing tracks but by downloading free samples from the BBC websitehttp://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onemusic/studio/
I’m getting better and more productive at making some music but it’s still got a long way to go. It’s not unusual for me to leave a piece and pick up days, weeks or months later, and “fix” it up a little. Without further ado, here’s One Tune.
Again, right click the link and choose Save As…
Some music I’ve been making…
Here’s another PlayTrack(tm) track I’ve made. It’s not too bad if you like your dark breaks and electro peaks (or something like that anyway). It’s 5.some meg in size and to obtain a copy, right-click the following link and choose Save-As .. or whatever you have to do…
I know there’s not been any updates for almost 2 weeks now, but I’ll try get something up on here in a while… it’s the silly season once more …
I’m so tired with so much to do!
It’s been a long few nights and I’m happy to have them over and done with. Sometimes nights are bearable, other times, they’re nothing but a chore!
The sun is shining, I have to do some housework and also some shopping (perhaps). 9am now, so if I get up at 2 thats 5 hours sleep. Should be OK – maybe going to technique tonight [www.technique.org.uk].
All the more reason to get rested now… oh why does it have to be a chore?! No matter 😀
*yawn*
Newsflash! Boring news! See it here first!
time doing nothing! Well, that’s not entirely true as I’ve had a fight with a travelator (a sloped escalator), driven in my car, done some work and rested! I’m sure there’s far more interesting things I’ve been doing but they elude me right now
It’s getting late so you’ll have to stay tuned to hear of my unexciting adventures I’m afraid!
Blog from bed?!?/
Here I blog from my bed. The world of wireless communications is getting better everyday…
It’s now getting so cold that unless you have a heater on, your bed is too cold to jump straight into! I have to resort to laying on my bed fully clothed for a few minutes before diving inside to find the warmth.
It’s nice to start off with just one small area of warmth before moving out to find cool refreshing patches the warmer you get during sleep. I’m all snug now!
Some brilliant news: I passed my UK driving test and I had a drive to and from my work… The first time in over a year! I drove two different cars for the first time (each) yesterday, one of which I took my driving test in. They are so different in size… From a MINl (the new one) to a large Rover 827! All fun!
My nightshifts are over for a couple more weeks – I have 4 days off work starting and including today which means I have to factor sleep into my plans of today! Will get some sleep now …
Buildings, buildings every\’here
The skies this morning charged my creativity. I had a walk, the sun was out to see, stumbling through the clouds feeling no doubt like I was after my nightshift (it too had been up all night). This was our evening, and we had some time to play!
Now, at 8pm, I can’t see my sun…
A Digital World
To most people, being able to get up at 6pm would be heaven, but tonight, it means I have a whole night to work away – and it’s only 10pm. In nine and a half hours I shall be free to go home but the temperature is dropping more every day. The nights are getting longer so much so it’s now dark when I start work, and dark when I finish. This was as I was waiting for the bus home this morning:
I’ve made my first DVD, complete with a DVD menu but now I am left with too much of a canvas and not enough ideas! It amazes me that within the last 10 years, we as humans, have started to take more digital photos, have welcomed the ability to burn CDs cheapily and easily – and now with DVD burners being so cheap, being a DIY director is in the grasp of millions!
Whilst I can take photos of what I see, I would much prefer to capture video – videos show so much more character than their still counterparts. Whilst you can take a photo of what you see without drawing particular attention to any one thing by just holding the camera and hoping for the best, it’s harder to get video that way. I want video but I don’t want to carry a video camera around looking like a tourist or something… not out and about. Maybe a crew, safety in numbers as they say!
Incidently, I got a few photos before the sun came up this morning. It’s a magical time to be outdoors, if you time it right, you can see the higher clouds change colour from orange through to yellow, and eventually white (or grey). Then, the lower clouds until the sky is [patchy] blue and white[/grey]. Unfortunately my camera is often blind to the many colours of the world, but from a defrosted portion of a bus window, I got a couple of interesting ones…
If you have any good advice on how to affix a video camera to a car on a tight budget, please email me! More to come later, I have work to do 🙁
Twix is a great chocolate bar
Chocolate is good – it’s great… Where would the world be without it?!
I had a fun night out with Corinna – just got back after the taxi took ages to arrive – apparently, the police cornered off somewhere near the Corn Exchange due to a shooting(?!). Thats what the taxi telephone assistant said…
