Combining Music Weeklies & Monthly prompts for ‘mother earth’ and ‘an idea for an original game, movie or any kind of media product that you’d love to compose music for’ we get…
Man Of Arun – The Assassination Of Mother Earth (End Title)
I Talk To The Trees
Man Of Arun – El Psy Kongroo (2023)
Possibly a suitable soundtrack for a long, slow, dialogue heavy, action light, 70s style post nuclear apocalypse movie that the critics rave over but is frankly a bit dull.
A track started in 2017 I’ve no memory of. Found in a folder named ‘Guitar Noises’ I’ve little idea of how I made them as I’d bounced the tracks down, probably to free up resources for more effects, and deleted the originals. I’d hazard a guess the filter parts are Adrenalinn.
It takes a long time to do very little but I like is so have finished it off.
The film excerpt from the Prelinger Archives is of a nuclear weapons test in Nevada between 1951 and 1957.
Man Of Arun – Andhrímnir – Caterer To The Gods! (BIWT No.11)
‘I should be so Loki, Loki Loki Loki’.
In which our hero strikes out against the tyranny of received musical form / wasn’t going to go up against Wagner thank you very much.
A return to the Music Weeklies challenge which on this occasion asked for a tune based on Norse Mythology. I may have failed on the tune aspect.

Digi-Gurdy – Early Transmissions
Loud Hailers #3 Don’t Give Up The Day Job?
As streamed on Beachy Head Radio
Link in case the embed has a funny turn.
This is mainly a collection of actors, writers and celebrities having a bash at knocking out a few tunes plus a couple of examples of people whose day job was originally music but are better known for what they did afterwards.
It’s designed as a sampler to prompt further exploration. Or at least that’s my excuse.

Man Of Culture
A few weeks ago I did one of the Music Weeklies challenges but didn’t get the track finished fully by the deadline. So I’ve since filled it out a bit with bass, synth and effects as well as improving the mix a gnats.
