So as you can see, I have quite a nifty little set up.

A laptop with a crack so large and obvious it takes up half the screen, connected to a TV via a HD cable and then of course my trusty Ashland acoustic guitar.

So today I started putting the first few bits and pieces together for my project will I shall explain to you very shortly, but first let me explain to you why this set up I have going is really quite inconvenient and unideal as far as a recording project goes.

Due to my love for guitars and amps and various other musical instruments that I have now filled my room with, (seriously, it’s just a bed, a TV and music gear) I never got round to purchasing a Macbook or any decent production software, so unfortunately all the demo’s and pre production work I’m doing, sound terrible. But alas, all this shall change in a few weeks when I finally move in to the 21st century and purchase a Macbook and the wonderfully well known Pro Tools software that everyone in the audio world owns but me!

But enough of that. My project is a simple one which I hope you will all enjoy. I am currently in the process of writing a piece of music that tracks through the worlds season cycle. For example, if the piece is eight minutes long, I aim to write the first two minutes based on what I interpret the seasons Spring to ‘sound’ like, the next two minutes being Summer and so on. I want to do all this to an animation that visually shows what the seasons look like. Of course we know the stereotypical view of Summer is that it’s sunny, or Winter is that it snows, so this is what the visual animation will be showing, and with any luck, the piece I write based on how I think these seasons should sound musically, show back the visual aspects up and vice versa.

That is my project in a nutshell, of course as the weeks go on, the idea shall progress and grow and hopefully build in to something, not only personally creative, but something that coincides with the animation and reflects the season cycle through audio.

Stick around!
