Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun

Oh FOXES.  Not the animal (in the countryside, bless 'em.  In London, they're vermin...), but rather the band.  I heard "Youth" a few weeks ago and it's a total earworm.  Beautiful lyrical.

Papercut.  I may add another layer onto this...

I built a raft...

It's been growing on a bacciferous plant until ready to explode and now I can release it into the ether: beautiful tunage "A Berry Bursts" inspired me to this semi-lyrical, semi-mythical piece.  Now that it's been put up on the matthew hidden facebook page, I shall feel free to share it myself.

Papery

Maybe it was the fear of ruining my compass (a former maths-nerd's gotta have her tools), maybe it was just the thought of a sharp implement in the house, but I finally got around to buying a paper knife and proper board.

Combine this with the marvellous matthew hidden's new single, A Berry Bursts, with some cracking lyrics, and I got a bit inspired.  I've done a few things around this tune and another sone, Unconditionally, that I'll put up after I've sent them over to the hidden one, but I was quite excited about this one as my first real papercut.




Prussian Blue might be my new Alizarin Crimson.

A little graphical inspiration

I like words but also shapes and patterns.  There's something about architecture that I love - not sure if it's the lines or the "random but structured feel to some pieces, but it's incredibly inspiring.  Especially this first one, which is actually the wall of a new concert hall and probably serves many acoustic purposes (of which I understand not so many).



Not sure what this building is, but it's in Salford Quay near the BBC Centre in Manchester.  Wibbly.



Favourite temporary structure ever - beating the Eiffel Tower, it's got to be the Atomium in Brussels.  I think it was also built for an expo in the late 1800s.  Sufficiently geeky.

Promises

Oh gosh... it's a blog post so as I can have a real website as my facebook page.  More to come.  Promise.
