Up until fairly recently, I had been using Logic on my iBook to make music. In the last six months I switched over to Windows and have been using Ableton Live almost exclusively. The work-flow is entirely different but it makes all those processes in Logic, that were protracted missions to Mars, much simpler to use. Here’s a track that I’ve been working on over the past few days. Please forgive the mix, have only been able to listen on headphones.

Forgive the dodgy mix — did this on headphones.

The park was acquired in 1857 and was designed by the world renowned Sir Joseph Paxton, also responsible for noted public parks in London, Liverpool, Birkenhead and the grounds of the Spa Buildings at Scarborough. The park was dedicated to the memory of Mary, Queen of Scots and not Queen Victoria, a common misconception given the proximity to Victoria Road and that the park was created during her reign.

I would really like a little midi keyboard. I have ideas but entering them on my PC keyboard doesn’t feel quite the same.

This is my newest finished song.

I have loads of other projects on the go. These include finishing my Arduinome enclosure with additional pots and buttons, adding arcade buttons and faders to my guitar, a new song called “Word Wrong” and I really, really, really want to restore an old electric car from the 1970s.
