Found an interesting-looking graffittied gate on Brick Lane on my way to the station and just had to pull out my new camera and have a play.

To take into the office: Vanilla buttercake with vanilla buttercream frosting, topped with Cadbury mini eggs. Very Eastery.

from the library – and played my new flute, of course!

After 5 years without one, and 4 years of saying I’d buy one, today it finally happened! Found a great flute – a second-hand Miyazawa 95SE – at a good price and brought it home. Huzzah!

Well, it won’t be delivered until next week, most likely, but it’s chosen and ordered and considering it’s taken about two years to get to this point, I’m thinking this is a huge leap forward. Looking forward to some focused photos for a change!

Thinking about writing something which uses the geolocation features of something like the iPhone to drive the playback and construction of a piece. Think it might work – need to do some more research though.

Some awesome stuff in there, but unfortunately they had major fail when it came to providing seating for the crippled – enormous exhibition, only 2 benches in the whole thing, as far as I could see. I didn’t quite get halfway through it so will have to go back again. At least once. Possibly twice in order to get through the whole of George Antheil’s Ballet mécanique. Why oh why include the whole of a 16-minute film, with only two sets of headphones and nowhere to sit down???

Maybe not hugely creative but necessary knowledge anyway. And with the immininent departure of our resident command-line guru, it’s sort of a self-preservation measure too. Should know it anyway though…

The choral piece is galloping along. I feel like I’ll probably come back around and thicken up the textures at the start a little. But it’s taking shape and I’m three lines in (out of 11) so I’m quite pleased really. Reusing the initial idea I think works well, rather than having it all stream of consciousness. A certain amount of repetition works for the subject matter – the closest thing in sound to silence, I think, is repetition. Or possibly a drone, but the drone is just repetition stuck together, really, innit?
