Smithery Sounds

Finishing this year's #AudioMo, my first, with a reflection on the impact and outcomes of a public commitment of a daily creative task.

The one where I get schooled by a ten year old. It's probably like my Dad felt when I set the video recorder for the first time...

Making the most I can of a beach recording that I knew would be terrible, but captured a moment.

An experiment - choosing a random drum pattern off Garageband, not listening to it, then choosing a random instrument to play over the top. Then recording it in one take. Not totally successful, but a lot of fun...

The thing I've definitely learned most about during #AudioMo is how to use the free music software that's been bundled in my devices for forever and an age. I kind of know what I'm doing now. Kind of.

This one is for all the other AudioMo peeps still going - you're doing great, almost there....

Trying a bit of subtle cricket noise capturing, and getting rowdy foxes instead. I'll take 'em.

Thinking about the benefits of the daily ritual of ¢AudioMo. Making yourself do a thing a day... well, it really does help, doesn't it? Practice, practice, practice...
