After my brother Jules passed away at the end of November a lot of things like this blog stopped. I kind of slogged my way through December's gigs and limped to the end of the year.

January was been about starting things and trying to get my mojo back for doing things. Partially successful but was still largely foggy headed and unfocused. I forgot all about one posh piano gig, then late I dashed to it only for my car tyre to blowout at speed. I changed the tyre in my suit & white tie, but the gig was gone. Ambient Underground 12 went musically very well - Audible Light & guests LION/s - and we actually got a reasonable audience, and recordings were taken. I was tired though and still not quite on it. But it was still January wasn't it so no worries.

I mentioned starting things....
1. I wrote a couple of songs.
2. I recorded one for the Conway/Britton album
3. I started recordding my first wafty/relaxation/new age album in years and have been chipping away at it.
4. I am part of a group of electronicists perfoeming Terry Riley's iconic minimal classic "In C" in Rugely on March 2nd - so I;ve needed to rehearse that and work hard remembering the 53 motifs enough to spot them from the music.
