Music for Audio movies

This is my new project and I must say that I am very happy with it so far, I must be as I released the first album in the project on 26 Feb 2012' which comprises of five tracks, I must have been even more pleased in that I have put two of the tracks up on Sound cloud for all who care can listen to them.

The second album in the project is also well under way as I have lots of tracks in various states of near completion, which was a bit of a surprise to me when I looked in my project folders and saw just how many different tracks I have been creating, with a lot of them at nearly 90 percent complete.

I as yet do not have a name for the next album, and I also have not yet managed to update my music website with the details of the new album, which is where I will make all the tracks available for download.

The first album has the name of Fade into the Night as was I think inspired by the fact that a lot of personal friendships seem to either start or finish in the night?

The album only has five tracks with the first track very different from the other four, the opening track is a lively introduction to the album, while the other four tracks are a more soulful marking I think that relationships that fade into the night can be good or bad.

Fade into the night

I have finally completed some music, the first time in several years to be precise. I have not stopped making music it's just that I have tended to have played with lots of new software and made lots of great sounds and soundscapes, but no tracks for an album.

The new album is called Fade into the Night and has five tracks on it, sadly the track names leave a lot to be desired in that they are parts 1 to 5!

Don't know why but that's how they ended up being called, it's not as if I have any control over what the tracks where going to be called.

The album is part of my new project called music for audio movies. At this time it has only the album Fade into the Night as part of it, but I seem to be creating a lot of tracks at this time so I don't think it will be long before the second album in the project will has tracks and a name.

The tracks are coming think and fast for some reason I have lots of musical ideas at this time so I am putting them down as fast as I can.

Audio movies need good music and I have plenty of tracks that have been inspired by many different things, from books other music and the weather!

I think the project will be fun and as I get inspired I will theme up each album in the project.

As a start I have put tow of the tracks parts 1 and 2 on sound cloud for people to hear if they want to.

Updates

Finally after I don't know how long I had the inspiration to do some work on the Dirk Maggs productions website, I have almost but not quite got all of the pages working correctly, I did take more than two hours to alter almost all the pages, to my knowledge I have missed just two pages, which out over 500 is not bad going.

I don't know how soon I will see in the website stats the number missing pages count drop.

Just a note to me that it's now starting to get obvious that the days are getting longer, and about time to.

ISS

I was luck today in that the skies where clear at 6.12pm as that's when the ISS when overhead here in Hampshire, thanks to Chris Lintot for tweeting in plenty of time I had the chance to go outside and see it for myself for the first time this year.

Butterfly

Just for the record saw my first butterfly of the year today. I don't know what type only that it was large and had orange and black on it and appeared to have double wings.

I wounded just how many more butterflies I will see this year as last year was not so good for seeing them, I suppose seeing a butterfly in Feb is early.

Website

As you know I have a website or two on the Internet and its sad to say that for some unknown reason I just don't feel like updating them at this time. I don't know why it is as there has been a lot of time and effort put into them over the years.

I have lots to do on them to bring them right up today's standards and also update the contents, but for some reason I just can't be bothered to update them, it would not take too long to do the update perhaps some five or six hours in total, and because of the way the websites are built it can all be done in bits and pieces.

So why?

I don't have an answer

Warm

Well today if what the weather men have said is correct it's going to be warm, they say that it could get up to 16 centigrade, which if true will be more the ten centigrade warmer than normal for this time of year.

So it will be interesting to see if it happens just as the weatherman say it will.

Sunrise

So today there was a great sunrise, lots of yellow and red sky, I suppose this means that we are due some rain soon, which is something we have not had in a while here.

Filters

How come the paper coffee filter always seems to move so that I get bits in my coffee, why is it?

All I know is that it can make for an interesting cuppa if you are not expecting bits when drinking your coffee.

Warm

According to the weather people it's going to get to 14 centigrade either today or tomorrow, this is something that I find hard to believe, but if it happens great as I like the idea offspring is just around the corner so to speak.

No blogs

Funny earlier in the year I had lots that I wanted to say on my blog, but problems with BlogPress stopped me from doing that. Now that BlogPress has been fixed I find that I just don't want to or don't have anything to say....strange that.

Nokia N8

This is my current phone and just for the record I am on O2. Earlier this week Nokia release a nice, or so I am told up date to the N8. I don't know what it's like as O2 for some unknown reason have not let us have it yet, even though the rest of the world have it, and from what I have read it appears to be working well.

Why are O2 so slow?

Do they care about there customers?

They have not even thought to let us customers know when they are going to let us have the update.

As you start to read the blogs and comments on the net about this, I have realised that there are some very angry people out there and that O2 have not done themselves any favours.

It also turns out that they are already selling N8's with the update already installed, so on the face of it it would appear being an existing customer is being a second class citizen.

I suppose that in the fullness of time we will find out why the delay and also get to enjoy the update.

BlogPress

Finally BlogPress have released an update, or is it rather apple have allowed the update out?

Not sure which one it is, the main thing is that the fault what ever it was has been sorted and I now for a while until the next update have a working blogging programme yeah!

It's just nice to be able to blog when and where I want to.

Blogpress

Blogpress updates itself to a new and improved version, so that's why I cant upload blogs to my blog, if that makes any sense.
