After so much listening to Dummy I switched to Weekend Players who are as far the other way as it is possible to be within the same genre. The bear was being especially flighty.- maybe the mild thaw was making him think it�s spring? These days I check who�s been checking my Linkedin profile. Still no news from Newhaven CT . I remembered that at some point in the 90s I tried to make a techno piece out Debussy�s Flaxen Haired Girl Prelude � one composer I know liked it. Gilbert wrote to say his concerts are going well. Dick Jones explained that his poem is only one of six nominated for a prize - it remains to be seen who will win. There was a lot of activity on Linkedin for a Saturday including some in the philosophy group.

I started a piece by playing some guitar harmonies against a drum track. Then I added a lead line and a bass part. I wasn�t sure if the resulting piece was too untidy so I immediately went on to a second piece using the lead line doubled with the lines a tri-tone apart. I added some string bass and then some piano using the good softsynth. The piano part is quite out � maybe there�s some percussion to go on as well.. I watched the last episode of the American Dream which had film of T Leary and the Magic Bus also Bob Weir talking about telepathy. Later I watched the end of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon � the subject of a joke on Miranda � then the Enemy at the Gates � a film which I know James likes. An e-m from Michigan has arrived.

Today I made a few changes to the 2 gtr piece � now called Starsplit2 and I sent it off to Gilbert. Then I thought maybe he could do something with the original Starsplit without the lead line on it but I couldn�t render it down to mp3 � there seems to be a glitch in the file 60% of the way through. � irritating. In fact the file was completely locked up so I woke the bear up to see what he had to offer � Duffy and Catherine Feeny was the answer � it got more interesting when he switched to Gong and Soma Sonic. There was hardly anything happening on Linkedin. I sent the new piece to Sue.
