I can't sing, or record through the mic at the moment, but I had to make something - so I began a new story.  All di'd in or keyboard midi - apart from the drum loop.

Hope to get back to normal (whatever that is) this week.

That's a pretty haunting piece.  Suitably ethereal.  I'd avoid normality at all costs if I were you.  It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Peter Grimes = the Britten opera?

Hi Leigh, your're probably like me, if your gear breaks down or you get mental block and you can't post anything for a while it's like the end of the world, a sort of gloom decends on the week. But well done you've done a great job with a very listenable piece of music. Top notch.....Willie

Cheers all.  Be back later.

But in the meantime for Paul, Answer not really.  I always thought the Peter Grimes Opera was a grim affair.  But I like the name and placed in a more light hearted setting, being owned by an old fashioned, but soft hearted "cat burglar".  I have the germ of an idea for the story, but this song kind of got in the way.  We'll how it goes.

Very interesting piece - can't wait to hear some vocals on it.

Never heard of Peter Grimes before, but the theme of the opera seems very cinematic. I'm surprised it hasn't been made into a film already.
