Regular listeners will know that I like to play around with cycles and patterns — wheels within wheels.  Some would say that this fits in with the theory of a holographic universe, with reality existing at the fractal boundary of time.  Today’s #MusicalMinute is inspired by many of these thoughts, giving it a unique feel.  What do you think?

23 Aug 25 Fate's Ostinato

Today’s #MusicalMinute continues the contemplative feel of the last few days.  However, as always I have tried to insert some ‘grit’ by employing a false bass line which provides a mix of tension and resolution — all is not well, and no thing makes sense.  Musically speaking I seem to be honing in on a niche.  What do you think?

24 Aug 25 False Foundation

As we near the end of August I am starting to consider what lessons have been learnt this month.  A pitch class set approach based on each day will work, but is there enough variety for a 30 minute piece?  Now multiply that by 12.  What do I need to consider for a 6 hour work?  Is an evolving ambient experience worthy?  What do you think?

25 Aug 25 Rising Energy

The key to understanding today’s #MusicalMinute can be found in ‘Clattering Chatter’ posted on the 17th.  Both tracks share PCS 7-z38, but this latest version sees Pareto’s influence with the notes in the woodwind growing progressively more abundant.  Can you hear the changes happen?  What do you think?

26 Aug 25 Data Flood

Regular listeners will know that August has been a month of experimentation.  Each #MusicalMinute has used a pitch-class set based on the date that it was created, including the day.  Interestingly, today is the first nine note chord!  Does it sound very different from the others?  Has the month had enough variety?  What do you think?

28 Aug 25 Distracted Future

One of the great discoveries for me, recently, has been the discovery of how to create irregular rhythms in my #MusicalMinutes — I know, it has only taken me 12 years!  This has given me the ability to encode numbers as well as letters (using a cipher), and to release the melodies  that are concealed within everything.  What do you think?

29 Aug 25 Poly Timelines

Today’s #MusicalMinute contains lots of ingredients.  The main melody is played by the double basses and is presented in canon form.  As always, there are some strange harmonies present, thanks to the seventh occurrence of PCS 6-z40!  Can you hear Pareto’s influence on the tuned percussion?  What do you think?

30 Aug 25 Strange Round

The end of a month is always a busy period when creating these #MusicalMinutes.  In addition to producing the daily music and video, I compile an AudioReel for the month.  But, tomorrow is another month, full of latent potential.  September is going to be full of logistical challenges and I’m thinking of exploring ambient minimalism.  What do you think?

31 Aug 25 Falling Energy

Welcome to September, a month when the transition between seasons becomes noticeable.  As part of the preparation for my project in 2026, I have decided to focus on ambient minimalism using short notes.  You may notice that the choir is humming sustained chords in the background, providing a predetermined ambience.  What do you think?

01 Sep 25 Summer's Retreat

I started composing daily pieces and posting them onto SoundCloud at the beginning of 2013.  By posting daily I am tweaking, experimenting and developing a thought, idea or event in time.  I am endeavouring to show that there is no limit to that creative spark that lies within each of us.  So much of what we do nowadays is about instant return, I am about evolution not revolution (although each month starts with a clean slate).  Join me on my journey to 10,000 (18 May 2040!!!)

Over the years I have found the Soundcloud community to be extremely supportive and encouraging.  It’s great to have a Global Mastermind of musical adventurers.

Thank you!
