More stuff

Not much to report apart from being very busy and having new 'very' noisy neighbours again! Hmm time to move me thinks!

I have just uploaded a couple of pieces, one is a sound design composition entitled The Descent (not named after the film) but the idea is descending down into the sonic world.

The second is a short string quartet, which i wrote to show off what could be done in Garritan Personal Orchestra. I am spending a fair bit of time at the moment concentrating on more Classical style works, so expect a few more in my collections. Hence the reason I have now started numbering them. This is also to help me finish pieces, as I can't go on to the next one until the pervious one is finished.

Here it is String Quartet I.

I used GPO with a nice concert hall impulse in the Room simulator in Samplitude.

Peace

Washing machines!

Well it is November, and once again I am making an excuse to why I haven't blogged more! Well once again I have been SO busy, what with this and that and that and this! There is so much going on at the moment, which is really cool, I am just hoping (preying!) that some of this will turn into hard cash sometime soon, otherwise MacciD's here I come! I hope to find out the outcome of a few 'projects' in the next day or two and will post here when I do!

Washing machine, yes ours blew up! Well the motor did, so yesterday I had a new one delivered! Cool, well it was..except when they plugged it in...it didn't work! I was told (correctly) 'Its your plugs mate!'....so I spent two hours destroying all the wiring in the kitchen to track down the problem, I removed all the fuse board, everything....anyhow to cut a long story short....so Dumbass (me) forgot to switch the plug on from the wall! Yes I know !! Oh well that was a good 3- 4hours wasted! But it is funny!

Anyhow a new Sound design peice here

Guitar in Hell

I love this peice, it is basically just me playing a single note guitar line! Yes but using the audio input of Absynth. This meant I had 3 guitar inputs as synth osciallators and then I just screwed around from there! I think it is cooL!

Watch this space
