Busy Busy Busy

OK ... so that's two BASCA socials, one AIM seminar, one PCAM seminar, one meeting with BBC Worldwide, plus joining the Screened Music Network, in one week.

It's nice to get back to actually writing some music...

spring shoots

OK, it's only February, I know - but there was a Red Admiral butterfly fluttering around my window boxes today. Spring is a comin' ...

Here at Apollo Towers, though, there's not too much time for admiring wildlife. Right now I'm jumping from remixing Black to chilling out making ambient music for a Tai Chi video (for Artificial Eye) to trying to meet a March deadline for more 'back end film trailer style' orchestral sounding music, (for Moonlab) I also have to remix Natascha Atlas before the end of this month but the parts I need are ... in Egypt, where things have been a little busy recently, to say the least. I don't suppose whoever is responsible for getting them to me has a lot of time to think about luxuries like music.

So I suppose that's a reminder that all of us in this country are lucky, even if things seem a bit rough out there right now, what with cuts hitting services everywhere - and arts and music organisations as much as anything else. Things could be a lot worse, though ...

So it's worth remembering - the freedom, time, and ability to appreciate a butterfly on a flower shouldn't be taken for granted.

Enjoy your spring.
