Another WIP

The Aphex Twin inspired song has kind of dried up for me- I’m not sure where to take it from there. I’ve done absolutely nothing to it since I posted it on here. Rather annoying, but there’s nothing I can do about that. I’m just going to leave it alone, and pick it up again in a few weeks maybe. Fresh start :)

But, in the meantime, I’ve picked up another project! And this one is going a lot better, and a lot faster too.

Finally working on some new music - Aphex Twin style

I’ve been listening to a lot of Aphex Twin recently, and suddenly got inspiration for this guitar thing, which would go great with some glitchy drums and samples. I’m gonna cut up the guitar and make that glitchy too, but later on in the tune. Might try out some voice synthesizers, see if I can somehow include those in the mix.

I’m not happy with the volume of the hi-hats at the beginning, or the drum fill to introduce the drums. But ah well, it’s a WIP with a whole lot of progress to go.

Here’s the intro:

Going to the beach - with friends!

Ok, maybe I am a bit addicted to going to this West Wittering place. But it’s such a great beach, soft sand and quite good waves (by British standards, anyway).

So I went with 3 friends- Alex, Paul and Shan. And mum- cause she’s the only one who can drive, and the only one who would want to pay for food and parking :P

My site got ripped!

Had a cool idea to make the site look a bit more interesting than just white blocks on a red background. I edited a few images of ripped paper, and now the top and bottom of the content box is ripped :D I think it looks pretty neat, and gives it a bit of an organic, natural feel. Just take a look the top and bottom of this page!

(random) Picture dump

I can’t sleep. And I’m extremely bored. So, I’m dumping some random photos on here. Not particularly exciting, just random and it gives me something to do.

Going to the Beach - East Head Spit

Beach
So I went to the beach today, West Wittering beach, to be precise.

In geography we’re going to do a project next term, on a hypothesis about West Wittering beach in general. We have to come up with our own hypothesis, something like “Is West Wittering a good tourist resort”, or “Is WW a stable and sustainable beach”. Something like that. Then we have to do a big project proving or disproving that hypothesis. It’s a bit heavy going really. We were looking at some projects people did last year, and they were like 50 pages long! Some of the pages were just like a big picture or some graphs, but it’s still a rather big project to be compelted by October.

But, today I did the better part of the project. Went to the beach with my Mum, and just took lots of pictures :D I’ll sort out later how I’m going to use them in my project, but it was fun to do them today- I guess it’s proving that I’ve finally broken up from school.
