I heard about muxtape.com yesterday; digital replication of the old mix tape concept - sounds totally weird and anachronistic - but it actually works. The interface is really clean and simple - basic - and you get it. There are hundreds / thousand of muxtapes up there - I reckoned I'd give Justin, the site designer's muxtape a listen. I ended up buying a track at Amazon from a Band I'd never heard of. I think that's amazing - it was so easy - it gives me a huge amount of hope and feeds my enthusiasm for the future. I will be developing my own muxtape soon - Charlotte is looking to create one from the music she has heard on MySpace in the last two years - should be fun! In the meantime - here's my homework from tonight. I promised myself that I would play every day this week - and so far I'm on track - I have been working on Wendi's theme all week and this is as far as it has come:

I am a cat on a hot tin roof - the only solution is to play. I am going to develop existing sessions - starting with Wendi's G Minor theme. To get into the groove I'm going to play around with a patch on the Triton at 67 beats per minute - the tempo for Wendi's theme . OK - done. They're heading off up to the server as I write - Have a listen to the Triton Piece:
I love doing this kind of freestyle - it makes playing fun. I am always on the look out for percussionists and loop makers who want to collaborate.
Wendi's piece is coming along very nicely. I did do another string pass but it was crap! ;-) I might put a clip up here just to see if I can!
---------------- Now playing: Music2Work2 - Working on W via FoxyTunes
Just thought I would write a quick note to say that Music2Work2 is 2 years old today. It's hard in some ways to believe that we have been doing this for two years - - but in others it seems longer. Music2Work2 has certainly grown and changed over the past two years, and will continue to grow and change. It has been terrific being a part of this endeavor - the future looks even better.
Thank you, Andrew, for letting me be a part of your wonderful vision!
