Disappointments leading to opportunities...

A day of much mucking about trying to do things and sort things...

I restarted work on the "Twenty Four Paintings" project by making a couple of hours' worth of field recordings in the early morning and early evening...

...on what was a very nice day weatherwise...

The morning recording sounds pretty good but, to be honest, there wasn't that much happening around my location in the evening...

Also today Dropbox suspended public access to my podcasts so a goodly amount of time was spent researching and sampling alternative services...

In addition, time was spent looking at the gubbins of the laptop to try and solve latency issues which could affect future recording work...

Anne was out for a pizza/pasta scenario followed by "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" - an enjoyable evening with Jane and Kitty, in celebration of the latter's birthday a couple of weeks ago...

By late doors, still working on stuff until, eventually, I gave in to encroaching sleep...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
