It’s Easter.
With my new click and pop free recording system, I have been making more abysmal noises. The first demo presented here is the result of me listening to too much Krautrock in the form of Neu! (thanks eMusic).

The second is my standard guitar noodling mode. I am trying to record a jolly tune to cheer myself up:

Both of these are embryonic tracks which may or may not be developed further. I don’t know. I like the second, the first needs a lot of work and I am not too imaginative with the old keyboard these days.
Meanwhile, I have won the lottery. Hurrah! (No, it was yet another lottery scam for you Googlers to discover on your travels).

Wow, that lottery win couldn’t have come at a better time. At Chez Lock, we are officially “up shit creek without a paddle” – don’t worry, that’s just a financial term. I am owed money on a couple of writing jobs and the other day the remittance form turned up without any cheques inside. Great! This cockup means that payment will be delayed for another couple of weeks as the company involved gets another cheque run in business. Meanwhile, the bank account is perilously low to “can’t pay mortgages” level. Hmmm…scary.
So if anyone out there wants to offer yours truly some regular work with regular cash, please drop me a line. I’ve been working in the media industry since 1994, have loads of editorial and journalistic experience, years of newsgathering behind me and loads of writing for consumer and business magazines as well as web experience. I am house trained and a non-smoker. Skills include PC and web knowledge, digital video and music editing, as well as digital photography and desktop design (QUARK Xpress). A full CV is available on application.
Of course, loads of Darren’s possessions are on eBay in a desperate attempt to get some cash in my hand, so clicky the linky to the righty and give generously, dear reader. 😉
