Punchdrunk track: WT – A child no more

This is a track made in Bhajis Loops as part of a collection of 60 tracks that was to called ‘Punch Drunk’. I’m still working on getting the whole thing finished, but I thought that I’d share some of the tracks to see if anyone has any views on them.

The original plan was that there would be 60 tracks each of 60 seconds long, which explains why this track is only a minute long!

Prometheus

So I’ve seen it now. It was an obvious choice to go and see, and I’ve read a lot of the chatter about the ending and how can it be a real prequel etc. Well, I enjoyed it, and that’s about all I really think I need to say. It was an interesting film, some good concepts and a story that in some ways sets the scene for the Alien films, but doesn’t answer all your questions.

I think that’s best, because you never know, there might just be another Alien prequel coming too.

Field Day Programme

I like the idea of these little programme things that you can wear around your neck and are just loose laminated cards with the running list for each stage, but they’re not nearly as easy to use as you think they might be, and in the end, I’d actually prefer a good old paper programme.

Paul’s Shruthi-1

A really nice example of the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 in steam punk style. Sounds awesome too!

I posted this over at Palm Sounds as well this morning, but I wanted to put it here as well.

Listening to Grimes, Visions

I heard Grimes at Field Day yesterday, and hadn’t heard her / them before, so I thought I’d find something on Spotify and give it a listen. So far I really quite like the sound, but I think I’ll need to listen to more to develop a better view.

Sucker Punch

I watched this the other night. I wasn’t entirely sure what my expectations of the film were, but whatever they were, having watched it I can say that it is a thoroughly amazing film. In same ways the way it is constructed on a number of levels makes me think of Inception, which is a major favourite of mine.

As for the story itself, it is both moving and highly inventive. I really enjoyed it and certainly didn’t see how it was going to turn out. On the whole I’d thoroughly recommend it.

Bill Nelson, Duplex

I’ve been after the CD version of this for ages now. It wasn’t cheap as it is relatively rare, but it was worth it for a couple of tracks that are not available anywhere else.
