Hi All,
Mad summer thinking is here! Everybody goes on holiday…..and stops work or other….I’ve had a break doing house stuff-painting, repaired house etc.
Looking forward to Autumn-had one or two musical ideas and recorded them on handheld tape. Continuing with Electronic EP-have to alter some of the mixes when I get back to studio……working on third work today-few bars of drum sounds. Maybe the recent Perseid meteor showers will inspire some ideas, although the tracks for the EP are essentially Astro-Physics and Particle Physics related.
Looking forward to more results from the Large Hadron Colider to get yet more inspiration………..!
Cheers
PS

Imagination was conceived by Paul Stokes as a Studio album (Glenmoor Studio’s) containing undercurrents of classical though remaining strongly
Electronic and New Age. This is a release from his back catalogue where it is going to be more widely available for download. It is being released by BelieveDigital on many download platforms. Being well received by the public previously on a smaller scale, more people will be able to enjoy the album on major download platforms. In small trials, Imagination has had critical acclaim by the public when played on Internet and Capital Radio etc.
Paul Stokes-Herbst (Paul Stokes) track record includes being in bands and writing music for the Media and solo albums. His music can now be found in many countries around the world on film, shorts, advertising etc. Crossrythmns says “here can be found a pile of influences coming together to make something new”. Imagination is Electronica but is Sc-Fi influenced, with crossing of musical boundaries, creating pleasant but creatively inspiring themes. It will pull you out and in!
You are invited to explore perhaps deep parallel worlds or deep intertwining themes which will cause you chase dreams……in your head…… The album is available from most reputable digital download stores including itunes/Musiczeit/BelieveDigital and hundreds of others. Contact details follow below:

Hi All,
Hope you have been ok in the big freeze? During the heavy snow here in the UK recently, I came down from the studio and took a look out of the window and observed nature making music. We have two telephone wires, one to our property and one to the next, connected to a telephone pole some 60 feet away. Heavy snow lies -some 5-8 inches on the ground and the two telephone wires are covered with some one inch of snow. The pole supports 14 phone lines radially and is the centre-point. The temperature outside is -5 Deg C. The phone lines are very strong being made of Beryllium-copper and always have good tension even in cold weather. There was also no wind at all.
As I was watching the snow, I saw significant movement of the 2 lines, and suddenly realized they were oscillating! As I closely observed, I worked out that the frequency was about 1.5-2 Hz (Cycles per second) I wondered what was the reason-and from my science background knew that they needed an ‘input’ force to create the oscillation. As with the violin bow, that is the input energy/force.
Wondering where the input to generate the oscillation was coming from, I noticed that the boiler condensation and fumes were rising up exactly underneath the two lines-eureka! The rise of the powerful energy in the ‘wind’ created by the plume of fumes was ’stroking’ the lines causing them to resonate! From my observations, nothing else was apparent to create the oscillation-not even a little Elf pushing the telegraph pole!
I immediately have thought about composing around this event to create a little piece. Should I do this Electronically or with orchestra? Should it be slow at the frequency of the oscillation-in which case not much of it can be heard, or do I use instrumentation to create the effect? Oh well, life is a joy…
Cheers
Paul
