    Made over the course of 5 years, I've listened to this about 300 times since i heard an early release. It's angst filled, flirts with the line of profound and pretension, but all in all a deeply moving, and beautiful album.

    Also made by a buddy of mine. Do him a favour and at least have a listen

    Inspired by playing around with the RjDj iPhone app www.rjdj.me/ (it uses the
    microphone to pick up ambient sounds in the environment and converts
    them to music using a sample beat to start with) it seems having your
    own personal theme song could now be possible.

    Bear with me here...

    If RjDj can pick up the pitch, frequency and volume of external
    sounds, and translate them, using a sample tune as a base point, by
    changing the style and sound of the base point, to say...an orchestra
    theme from a 50's movie, (or something more akin to a silent cartoon,
    where everything on screen in conveyed not with words with sound)
    couldn't this tech be used to pick up the speed of a walk, the sound
    of a raucous environment, and adjust the music accordingly?

    I love the idea of a beat or tune picking up in temp and volume as I
    walk down the street, raising itself into crescendo as I run for a
    train, or slowing, and become more melodic and serene as you enter a
    library.


    Right, I’m off to make this, or at least to jot down some ideas for
    implementation.

    .........another thought, a "blue mode" would be interesting, think
    about it, in the bedroom, with a strategically positioned
    microphone...music to "rock" to
