Day 9

21/01/2011

I made a wicked drum add on thing over the Christmas break with wood, wire and bottle tops.  It was loosely based on an Instrument I saw in Malawi when I was there a few months back for the lake of stars festival. I have just used it for the first time on a tune we are working on. it sounds awesome!!!

We have slowly be turning a bit  more nocturnal each day we’re here, last night i got to bed at around  7.30am this morning!!?? (we all knew it would turn this way!!)…hence why this picture (below) is so fitting.

Progress is good and the creative flow is higher than ever!

I love Guinness.

Bye for now

Toby
