I have been working on this for a couple of weeks and suddenly realised I haven’t blogged about it and that I have only been talking about my visits to the museum, collecting and designing the sounds. Anyway, I have loads of it done, it might sound crazy anouncing a performance of something that hasn’t been entirely written yet, but in all fairness it’s all in my head and usually stays there for a couple of months and it only takes a few hours in the studio to scoop it out and pop it into the real world once I have a few of the sounds.

Already finished are “While”, “THEN GOTO 1980″, “Simple Math” and “Math” which was what you may have heard in the trailer. There are a lot of little short pieces that link together the larger pieces and tie theme all together thematically, rhythmically and so on. It is very weird writing this and “And The Revoltion” back to back as they are so different. But overall very pleased, especially with “THEN GOTO 1980″ it features alot of machines from the 80’s obviously but alot of ones I haven’t used before like the MSX-HX10 and the Sord CGL M5 and they are lovely. There will probably also be Dragon 32 on there on bass and the Atari 800XL and the BBC Micro will supplying the percussion.

I will be heading to the museum on Saturday to hopefully wire a cable directly in to the brain of the Elliot 803 I have to be under supervision for this as it’s quite dangerous, but will undoubtedly result in the optimum sound quality possible, so it’s gotta be done.

Then I am heading off to Scotland next week to be locked away to write the rest and tweak everything a little bit more.
