With all the other stuff I have going on (recording drum parts and trying to get 'Scenes' finished off), you'd think that starting a new project would be the most stupid thing to do but then you have to remember I'm not the brightest bulb in the box. So here's the first part of a second purely electronic/synthetic album of tracks I have been fiddling around with, tentatively titled Ebb & Flow - sounds like a happily married couple doesn't it! I am sure I will come up with another name along the way. Anyway part one is based around the emulated sounds of the Fairlight CMI, which in it's day was out of reach of most people due to it's hideously expensive price tag. Isn't technology wonderful - you can now have access to the exact same sounds for 30 bucks or less. You know where to go - http://www.auralscapes.com - this is only for electronic geeks like myself and other assorted nut jobs. The only time I have written a piece in a really offbeat time signature - first movement is in 9/8. That's the reason you won't be able to tap your foot in time to the rhythm - unless you are Simon Phillips of course. You just have to let it flow over you - geddit?
