Going to the Beach - East Head Spit

July 18th, 2008 by Kabby | Posted in Life, Pictures | 6 Comments »

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 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.

School’s out!

So, finally we have been released from the prison that is Oaklands Catholic School. For 7/8 weeks at least. I’m a bit miffed though, cause I was talking to a friend from America, he says they get like… 3 months or something off for summer :c
But, as it was the last day, Oaklands always tries to make the first half the most boring morning ever conceived since last years last day. (If that makes any sense) First, they have a whole school mass, hence the “Catholic School” part of their name. Rather irrelevant to me now, as I’m now atheist. But, I just sit there and daydream, none of the teachers mind- and I think they can empathise with the kids having to sit there packed like sardines in the hall.

Track 10, the final one, on Kaburorne
So, the last track on this album. I had this idea floating round, and put it up in the Other Stuff section, cause I didn’t know what to do with it. While I was working on it, Hania messaged me about doing some more collaboration, which I was really excited about. So I worked a bit faster on this track, so I could get it out the way before Hania’s project, and also to get back into the swing of composing on FL. The name comes from two things. While I was doing this tune, lots of stuff was happning in my life, so causing different emotions. And also, the song can be taken in different perspectives, and therefore cause different emotions.

Apathie

Track 9 on Kaburorne
I wanted to do some more techno, as I had that catchy main melody going round in my head. It’s kind of ‘Traverse revisited’, so I can brush up on my trance skills.
It’s called Apathie cause this track was a bit… uninspired. I just made it cause I could, rather than I was really inspired by something awesome and original. I guess I was feeling a bit of apathy for my musical skills and inspiration.

Track 8 on Kaburorne
The idea just kind of popped into my head, and I made it in FL Studio. I think this track is as simple as that. While I was working on this track I showed it to my on-line friend, Kaeishii. She said she should really get into this and dance do it, which kind of gave me incentive to finish it, cause someone was actually enjoying this tune. Kaeishii belly-dances, and she said she’d try and do a performance to this song near the end of the year at her belly-dancing club, which is rather awesome Hopefully I’ll be able to post a video of the performance sometime on here.

Track 7 on Kaburorne
The theme for this one was supposed to be clean, ornate and serene versus gritty, thick and distorted. It came about a bit lighter than my original concept. I was listening to a lot of minimal music when making this tune, hence the long intro and repeating chord patterns. It got terrible ratings on Newgrounds cause idiots can’t be bothered to listen to a track for more than one minute and get past the intro. Ah well.
