Audio Diary Part 1

Just finished producing the first part of my audio diary which will document my artistic journey up to the Appledore Arts Festival 2010.

The first part is really just an introduction and an extremely brief overview of the project I will be working on.

I decided that I should produce a small loop of music to have running in the background as I give my introduction - the sort of thing radio presenters talk over or they have running on cooking shows as they tell you what ingredients you will need to make a pie or whatever.

Producing this short piece of music was the first time recently that I have really sat back and thought, 'Hey, I think I could make a career out of this'. I loaded up my production software and in about 15 mins, I had a professional sounding ambient loop of drums, bass, synth and piano, which now sits nicely behind my vocal in the audio diary. It's nothing hugely special, but it works, it sounds good, and it was ultra quick to produce and copy into the arrangement with my vocal.

It looks like working on this fairly large and complex project is really going to highlight the skills I have and the skills I need to become a professional in the world of sound and audio production.
