  • Schrödinger's Dog - Sakura
    [Trip-Hop / 70bpm / 4:42 / 7.3mb]

    Another piece that I'd been working on and forgotten about, this is supremely chilled trip-hop. I've decided to dedicate this track to the awesome folks at HardDrive.FM. To paraphrase H2G2, it's so laid back it's practically horizontal, so chilled you could keep a side of meat in it for a month. The title has a lot of meanings; as an article I found points out, Sakura holds of lot of significance for the Japanese...


I'd use one of my own photographs to go with this, but I didn't have anything suitable; that's the beauty of Creative Commons, I guess. I'm planning to take more pictures soon, though, and I have a couple of links to post on the subject. First of all, someone from b3ta has a pretty useful Beginner’s Guide to HDR, and El Reg has an article about police action against photographers, which is pretty worrying stuff.

To sneak in a couple of more light-hearted links, these t-shirts are all kinds of awesome, and this is possibly the best edit of a webcomic that I've ever seen.

Hope folks like the music...

I reallllly like "Sakura". It's so mellow and relaxing. Your work is inspiring me to get started composing again! *hugs* Thank you so much.

By the way, where's the vocal bits from?

I'm really pleased you liked it :) It's probably the most chilled-out piece I've ever written; it's parhaps a little odd that I should come up with something so soothing when I wasn't feeling too great.

I'd love to hear anything you come up with, if you do start composing again. Maybe we could even work on something together.

As for the vocals, they're from a sample CD. Just little bits and pieces that I thought would work.
