this was something that started before the half term holiday and I kind of liked that chugging rhythm the drums and bass - as something to improvise over. Here’s a version more for the record than to claim as any great shakes. A thing that happened.

So what did I learn from a month of ‘jamuary’?

(Jamuary – a musical challenge dreamt up by @truecuckoo to post a short piece of music you’ve created everyday (ish!) throughout January. No rules - just some fun.)

I really like projects where I have to make something everyday (NaNoWriMo,  a portrait a day for a year, a photo a day for a year, a photo every-time I cycle to work by the river, Jamuary 2018 etc etc!)

making work everyday is like a practice and it’s a great way to learn stuff

sometimes I learn the most when i really don’t want to do it!

You can change video length/speed in Ableton using Transpose

Finding the right piece of video to go with my music and vice versa makes something more than the sum of the two
