Piece a Day - Day 47

A late one today thanks to Transpennine Express and the marvellous tour of every station of the North West I have been on this evening. Still I got here in the end. Seen a lot of mist today, so felt inspired to do something Misty. So here it is.....won't say much as it is late and need to sleep!!Day 47 - Rolling Mist[audio:http://www.spencerbruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Day-47-Rolling-Mist.mp3|titles=Day 47 - Rolling Mist]ZzzzzzzPeaceNeil

Piece a day - Day 14

Wow, so it's been a fortnight already!! SO finally here is something in a Major key at last! Finding time to sit down and do this is becoming extremely hard, but I am persevering!Day 14 - Magic Unicorn[audio:http://www.spencerbruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Day-14-Brighter.mp3|titles=Day 14 - Magic Unicorm]PeaceNeil

Piece a day - Day 13

Here is today's piece, done whilst half asleep and about to rush out for the day. Finally something not in C minor....but A minor....I think I am going to have to switch to a major chord sequence soon!! Given how asleep I was, here is today's piece entitled....well Sleepy!Day 13 - Sleepy[audio:http://www.spencerbruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Day-13-Sleepy.mp3|titles=Day 13 - Sleepy]Gotta dash!PeaceNeil

Piece a day - Day 11

Yes we are in double figures already!! I was a bit worried about today, given that I have to be on the road by 9am and not sure if I would have any time during the day to do it, or even access to any gear at all, so I did this very quickly (again!) but it is done!! Think I will have to start using a lot less C minor from this point onwards!!Day 11 - Don't Settle for anything less[audio:http://www.spencerbruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Day-11-Dont-Settle-for-Less1.mp3|titles=Day 11 - Don't Settle for Less]Peace Neil

Piece a day - Day 9

Today's piece is a bit more traditional and a bit less 'soundy' (if that even is a word!)Unfortunately, again I did this not in the studio, so wasn't able to access proper samples and VI's, had to use Logic's EXS samples, some of which aren't bad, but the strings are awful (cue for drowning in reverb!). I also realised that in my hurry there is a dodgy Em chord in there, which perhaps shouldn't be, I know the iii chord is pretty rubbish, but ho hum time was against me!Day 9 - The shy tiger[audio:http://www.spencerbruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Day-9.mp3|titles=Day 9 - The shy tiger]Once this crazy crazy project is done, I will hopefully redo this file using proper samples :)PeaceNeil

Piece a day - Day 7

So yet again, another piece done in a total and utter hurry (this is becoming a bit of a theme!), but also again on very limited equipment (part of the challenge!!). So with a few random loops and samples found lying around, and some effects, plus a cheesetastic synth and some elaborate chopping and time stretching.....we have today's piece. Now I know it is early and technically I have another 11 hours, but i needed to get this done today as I have a whole bunch of PhD corrections to redo by tomorrow (no pressure!)So, in the midst of frustration, this piece is called frustration.Day 7- Frustration[audio:http://www.spencerbruce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Day-7.mp3|titles=Day 7 - Frustration]PeaceNeil
