Well spotted Ruby - I deliberately wanted Part 2 to be a departure from the norm. Something that you would not expect. The idea came during a walk in the woods. The wispy bits you hear now and again remind me of bits of clouds moving overhead. The tricky part is going to be how to develop it. And how to move into the next part. Something on the to do list for this weekend. And it is intentionally simplistic and sparse. I hate the term 'joined up thinking' but that's what I am trying to do at the moment - join all the dots. And blips. And bleeps.

No sweat Crazy - each to their own. In any case it's only a really short extract - hoping to develop it this weekend along with some other bits and pieces.

hey Jerome, just curious...
a few years ago you were doing a track with a vocalist (female if im not mistaken??)
whatever happened to that project?
was it something to 'let off steam'??
something you couldnt develop further???

Crazy Man, I have written quite a few 'normal' songs but could never get a decent vocalist to interpret them. Tried many vocalists from all over but was never 100% satisfied with the end result. Expensive to do as well. So I just abandoned them. A hell of a lot of work down the drain but that's how it goes. Some you win some you lose. That's life.
When something is not working you have to walk away no matter how much time and money you have invested. One of my biggest regrets. And I happen to think some of the songs are quite strong too. But hey, I would think that because I wrote them. Maybe they are just crap. We'll never know!!
Maybe the ideas fairy will find a decent singer for me...

The 'new' project has come to a standstill at the moment. Seems like the Ideas Fairy has eloped with Captain Creativity and left me with no ideas so I am firmly stuck. Bugger.

Right that's Xmas over, time to get back to work on the project. Going to spend the afternoon in the studio and see what pops out of the hat.

The Ideas Fairy must have stopped by some time during the night. I have been struggling to move forward with the new project lately but today I am brimming with ideas so bugger the painting job for today. Will finish that tomorrow. Going to spend a couple of hours in the studio trying to tease out the next section. Happy with the new direction the project is taking as opposed to the other pieces I tried to put together which just were not working at all. Well to my ears anyway. Lets see what pops out of the proverbial hat today.

i just found the time to go listen to your short piece Jerome but nothing loaded up??
do you design and create your own graphics?
BTW:
ive used the picture as the background on my laptop mate.
if you feel it is inappropriate to do so i can and will remove it, i just thought it was an interesting image.
