As some here know, I decided to spend some cash writing / recording some music for myself for a change (I spend my working life composing for others). My project included various jazz, film stuff and some Baroque.

I spent my yoof singing in churches to the likes of Bach and Handel, and no matter how much music I listen to, their music still remains the most impressive I have ever heard. (Historical context is important here - they WROTE the rule book!)

So here.. a (dodgy) StudioCam vid of my (one and only) attempt to write some Counterpoint. Writing this stuff is like playing a video FPS. If you take a wrong turning, you are in BIG trouble... there will always be a monster at the end of the route you are on. You have to plan well ahead. A great and very rewarding game to play though.

Not the sort of music that I can comment on in any proper critical manner but it did sound nice.

Room looks superb, is that Air Lyndhurst?

Angel, of course.

Today has been a bit of a confusing one. Too much big stuff.

"Old Ebenezer Prout,
He was a funny man
But he can't write fugues
like John Sebastian can..."

Sounds great Steve!
