Spent a very pleasant week earlier this month on the Llyn Peninsula staring out to sea watching the white horses.

This post features a homemade one-octave glass organ made from wine glasses of varying size and shape. The sounds they produced inspired the rest of the piece.

This piece was inspired by seeing one of my favourite bands Spiro who were in town last month.

A few years back our band created a project based on trains and used the rhythms they generate as backing tracks for pieces of music. I really enjoyed it so have decided to revisit the idea for this month’s post.

It seemed to be getting warmer but as I was writing this piece it started snowing again.
