Finished my track!

It's a weird one. It's in German, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I figured it might complement the French and Spanish tracks we've had, although I hope nobody actually speaks German -- I was just doing my best to sound like the lady on Google Translate.

So anyways, we have a new album coming out soon! That's cool.

Static trouble

So here's my crystal skull... I'm trying to access its hard drive but I'm getting nothing but static so far. Presumably, once my my mind is sufficiently expanded I'll be allowed access to its rock capabilities, then I'll have my song. I hope that's how it works anyway. Ommmmmm Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hello all.
Sorry I am so late to join the blog again. I have finally decided on a topic and it is... Spectrophilia!
The act of inter-paranormal relations. Be it a gentle kiss from a ghost or much much more! Could be handle gently and romantically or very differently indeed. Surely it is sexy and weird.wwooooooooooooooooooo uh! uh!

The Bloop

Assuming nobody else has taken it, I'm gonna write some music about the Bloop!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop

It was a tough decision between writing about the Bloop and writing about the Hum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum). I will, of course, be including the actual Bloop in my song. Maybe the Hum will make an appearance as well, but I suppose that would be up to my vocalist...

Planet of the Apes?

That fine purveyor of heavyweight news and rigorous scientific analysis - Britain's The Sun newspaper - has today reported the existence of gorillas on Mars. The above photo (taken by previous IML star Mars Rover) has provided the unequivocal proof. NASA were disappointed with the image though as the gorilla obscured the statue of Elvis that the Rover was trying to capture.

I am working on a musical accompaniment to the face on mars mystery with Joe Dean (my brother from another mother). If the recipient chooses to smother the track with gorilla noises instead we will fully understand.

Why not get a tattoo of your chosen theme?

Hi. I'm adopting a new technique this time round. Thanks to my friend Rich, the chord sequence for the song has been created for me. Rich told me on the phone the other night he wrote the chords on a piece of paper whilst his guitar was just out of reach, so he's never even heard what they sound like when played. This style and approach is of course, right up my street.

So I'm going to play around them (Rich urges me to apply some smooth jazz stylings and given our subject matter - Spontaneous Human Combustion, I think, ahem, some spontaneity would be VERY apt).

I was always a really big fan of Oli's backing track for what became Know It Now on Superheroes Of Science so I might plunder the depths of the synth wash (again). Having said that, all of the tracks I've written so far have started in one style, been trashed, been written in another style, been trashed, then cobbled together near the last minute.

My research into SHC so far has revealed that nearly all sufferers of this appalling condition were found either with their heads in the grates of fire places, or next to bar heaters. Far be it for me to try and explain the unexplained but I am ALREADY beginning to sense a connection between ... conventional sources of heat ... and ... people being set on fire. Clearly I need to dig deeper. Why the fast burning? Why so intense? Why? I can't wait to explore the possible causes of ignition, through the power of SYNTHESIZERS.

Stigmata / Murder of a little alien

OK. I'm working on 2 this time. One is balls-out rock bullshit about the stigmata phenomenon, the other is a tragedy about the murder of a little alien: I was creeped out by this story:

Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is something of an enigma. It has captured the minds and imagination of many at sea - and I am attempting to capture one interpretation of it in music form. What could be at the bottom? Only time and fiction will tell...

Things that like to go boom

I can't get spontaneous combustion out of my head. Those black and white photos of people, lying in fireplaces, boots, devoid of humans, small piles of ashes. What happened, wha happen? That instantaneous and unexplained transformation from bellied, flesh wielding humanoid to flaming HOT HOT piles. I think there's some beautiful simplicity in there, what was happening in the lives of those people before they seemingly blew up in their living rooms? Did they manage to feed the cat? Did they pay their gas bills? What caused the heat? Wha? Wha? Wha happen? And more importantly, as someone writing a backing track to accompany the subject, what would it sound like. All I can say is that I'm trying to secure the services of a flute and a banjo to convey the sonic impression. Good luck all.
