I’m not so keen on winter days where you don’t see the sun and dusk seems to begin at lunch time. Grey is a great thing when it’s an area between two extremes but it’s very dull on a late November day.
It’s definitely the lack of light that I dislike rather than the cold in winter. Chilly days are refreshing and the winter sun in the UK is wonderful.
I’ve recently built a ‘catcam’ kit from Mr Lee ( CatCamlink ) and I’ve been having some fun equipping my terrier, Noodle, with it whilst out on walks. There are a few teething troubles to sort out- the box keeps falling off due to Noodles spinning jumping and running (she’s a lively little thing) so I need a stronger bit of wire or string to hold it in place.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Noodle was totally relaxed to wear the camera under her chin. It must be quite comfy and she took to it like a pro.
So, I think I’ve finally finished the main areas of the Openland soundtrack. I just need to consider the separate album that will be released along with the film now. It took quite a long time but the music is now in the talented hands of Patrick ‘Defasten’, the film maker/video artist who is behind the visual side of the project. Really, Patrick is the main man behind this. I just made a load of squiggly and splishy sounds for him to put on top.
Here’s the trailer to give you a taster : Openland trailer
I should have made a post about this when it was published but due to being a confused, slack blob, I didn’t. Better late than never:
Make sure you have a look around the site as well. It’s got a lot of good interviews, reviews and info which is a created by people with a passion and knowledge of electronic music.
These things always take longer than you expect but I’ve finished the musical side of things and just have to tie up the artwork. Head over to http://www.lamadameaveclechien.com/ for a few audio clips. I’m teetering on the edge as to whether to change the name of it. ‘Expected Eventuality’ could be wrong. I dunno, it’s just bugging me and so I’m thinking ‘Dummy ep’ might be better.
The ep will be available on vinyl only and limited to 500 copies. I’m not sure if a download version will happen. The nice people behind ‘La Madame avec le Chien’ are very much pro vinyl and that suits me. If you want to hear the ep and don’t have a turntable then maybe it’s about time to invest in one.
