Sketchisimo

What do you get if you cross a dodgy keys player, midi sounds, Logic Pro, an hour, excessive listening of Ravel and afrosounds? A musical sketch which sounds like this: sketchy  (my bounces always end abruptly for this blog). I know

a sketch for today

I can’t compete with Anna Hardy’s photo a day challenge, but have been writing short bits and bobs. Here’s today’s grey cloud, cherry blossom meanderings: 29.3.11 Quite church-y at the start, maybe I’ll take it along to my rehearsal, see
