Active mind... Just saying.

just when you think things are going well...like new pedals for your bike... a day comes along that defeats you and all your plans...

Big thank you to the cycle shop in Netherfield... restores my faith in community values.

Just one of those days where entertainment is urgently required...

You can only watch so many films etc...

My solution is to escape with a few hours of GAMING!!!!!!

There is nothing better than being involved in an event that you control...

Gaming is now the number one activity for many many millions of all ages.

 

Essential activity... bike riding every day!!!!!

Storms that blow you over... Rain that causes floods... 

Cycling is out of the question

OR IS IT!!!!!

 

This year has started well. With the support of the family I can say that there is a plethora of new beginnings. No violin making... no plants to grow veg... not yet anyway...

Sorting my life style out is the order of the day.

Not pleasant outside... taking time to find passions that inspire me of a less physical nature...

Rowing and cycling on machines is the order of the day!!!

Bad weather and lots to do in the house makes for a very unhealthy time with little movement!!!!!

 

So... Cycling machine at the ready and Nordic walking are the mainstays of my winter regime!!!

An hour playing drums and various other instruments will keep me warm.

 

Sparing on the heating!!!!

So many months gone by... have to finish bridge making...

At last I have an outlet for video... You Tube...

I see no way for me to video for Podbean!!!!

Rescued a podcast from the jaws of disaster!!!

This sound scape was created using household object at home...

It resembles the hustle and bustle... the hurly burley of the London Underground...

Enjoy.

 

I am experimenting with household objects to make a sound scape...

There will be some who use their imagination to create a picture in their head as to the meaning of the sounds...

IF THIS IS YOU STOP READING!!!

For those who need help to create........

 

Imagine a rocky outcrop... sleeping dinasaurs... In the near distance dinasaurs hunting each other... and in the far distance an active volcano...

 

A steel works with sounds of the furnace...steel being hauled across concrete floors... Trains carrying steel away...

 

You may have your own ideas now that my ideas have caught your imagination...

So much to do but one has to have adventures...

Trying to have a good audio quality for live shows... clipping at the moment...not good

Something I have produced in the past is Sound Scape material. This has been from nature...

Having been to Leeds Festival 2023... I have been motivated to create Sound Scapes from objects and processes that are man made...

So sounds can be uplifting and calming but they can do the opposite... I try to find sounds that are calming in such a busy noise filled world.

So happy to have found a western flute for little money...

Bianchi bike and new Ribble in August
