If you've been checking out Mark Thirlwell's music blog you'll have heard a short piece he recorded a little while back called "The Cruelty Man". I think it's a splendid piece of music and so I decided to have a go at reworking it. That's probably completely wrong-headed - since I think it's already excellent, what exactly am I attempting to add?
Fair point, and because of that I haven't really added much at all. I've slightly re-ordered it and added my melodica and a recording of some geese at Swanswell park. I might try to add a little more, but I'm scared of ruining it by smothering it in cheesy effects in a misguided attempt to justify my intervention.
Anyway, the result so far is here, and, the above doubts notwithstanding, I'm pretty pleased with it.
