So True
First look at a new piece of music
Kilbroney Park, Rostrevor
I’m in the process of writing a new track. I’ve posted it on Soundcloud so that people can add comments inline. If you’re a musician, or even if you’re not, I’d really appreciate your comments on how I can develop this further. It’s a framework at the moment and I hope to use it as a soundtrack for a short video I hope to shoot in future. In my head I see it as contrast between the hectic pace of life – images of people about their day (probably speed up footage for effect) and then slow it down at the break, which is towards the end at the moment) to more calm images – rivers, landscapes etc.
Thanks in advance for any input you can give me.
Techie stuff:
Recorded on Cubase Studio 4.5, using a Rode NT-1A studio mic, Marshall Valvestate 80Watt amp, Westone Thunder 1A electric guitar, CryBaby wah wah (burn Jimi, burn), Akai MPD24 and Fxpansion BFD drum module for drums, various synths and sound effects. Had a lot of fun making this!!

Scam?
I was contacted today by an Indian woman claiming to be from Microsoft. She said that they had received an error report from my PC that some problems had been detected.
It was all very convincing – she gave her name and employee ID number and a phone number she was calling from (02080999185). She said she was an MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) and offered to allow me to talk to her manager, who had a public Google profile that would prove legitimacy.
But my alarm bells were ringing at the start of the call. So I asked which of the 4 computers I have was sending the report! Her explanation was that it doesn’t matter as when 1 computer gets a problem all of them will be affected. Yeah right! I’ve spent enough time fiddling with PCs to know that whilst a virus could affect 1 computer and affect all the others it is not inevitable and can’t happen unless they are networked or files passed from one to another. At this point I asked to speak to her manager, to which she replied ‘certainly’ and then hung up the phone. Noty heard back from her since. Funny that…
So, please be aware if you get this call. I have searched the Internet and found that others have got stung paying out for this company (or individual’s) “help”.
Have you had this call? Please share your comments here so that you can shed some light and maybe help others.
