Last weekend was busy. I didn't even see a musical instrument for the whole three days so this week I am feeling especially musical.
Despite my recent posts describing my lack of enthusiasm for Tauntons growing open mic scene, I have decided to get off my arse and start playing out at The Winch again on a Wednesday night. A break from the routine was much needed but I miss the people and I miss the stage. Plus I have an acoustic gig at the end of the month so I want to test out some new songs and some re-workings of older songs. I will be there tonight with a fresh energy - exactly what the night needs in my opinion.
My continuing focus for the coming months however will not be on the acoustic stuff - that can take care of itself - but on my electronic projects.
My first piece coupling ambient location recordings with synthesised sounds is complete and will be online soon.
This short track entitled 'Immersion' is a seriously laid-back piece using close recordings of running water and of the shoreline at Wimbleball Lake. It took alot of work for me to get the overall sound that I had in my head but it was definitely worth the hours.
The next project which is currently still in the planning stage is a soundtrack for a short suspense movie. The plot follows a 'stalker' type character as he follows his subject around her everyday activities. I'm very interested in using sound and music to create tension and suspense but without there ever being a conclusion. You will never be sure exactly how the plot finishes but will hopefully be left with your heart racing.
My blogging over the last week or so hasn't been as frequent as I would like - I've had alot to think about to be honest. Over the next few weeks/months however, I am going to pick up the pace again to detail, explain and complain about the projects mentioned above along with anything else that's on my mind.
