The Third Week of 2009.

I was hoping to have something to upload for this post but I haven't. I had this very strong desire to churn out some messy music but ended up sifting through old vinyl that I had converted into WAV files and reducing them to little loops. So now I have an expanding archive of melodic loops from all styles of music from the past 60 years or so and I'll be doing something very wrong with them very soon. I've got a massive collection still to be processed and enough material to keep me going for years but before I can have fun with it all I have to do the boring donkey work. I feel I have to put that extra bit of effort in these days in an attempt to keep one ahead of all the other millions of people on the web who are potentially doing similar things. So when it comes to source material I have to dig that little bit deeper and look for ever more unusual combinations and patterns. 

As for the mix that I had almost finished this time last week, I did finish it and send it off. Initial reactions were very positive and I thought I'd cracked it. However some changes have been requested so I'll have to find some time in the coming weeks to pick it apart and make some space for even more tunes. At the moment I haven't a clue how I'll get it to work with the extra stuff they want in there but I'm sure I can work it out somehow. I like a good challenge. Having said that I don't want to hear it for a couple of weeks, I've heard it way too many times recently.

So, next week I really will have something on here for you to download, even if it's something old. I'll also be thinking about how to make this blog a little more exciting, feel free to make helpful suggestions.
