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.
