Create Something – Week 2 – Music

January 14th, 2012 · 1 Comment

So it is another Saturday night and the end of week number 2 for 2012.

This was an interesting week in creating something. When I first thought of this project I had wondered what types of things I could create each week. I did not want to limit myself to doing one thing 52 times – so I started a list and ideas have been coming.

I have many hobbies – music being one of them. This week I knew I wanted to create a recording to share. I struggled a bit in my mind with what “create” means – I created the song and the original recording and now the MP3 to share. I did not “record” it this week, or “write” it this week – but I did create something this week that can be shared…

This week I have created an MP3 of an original song of mine titled “Pretty Lady” (right-click to download). It was recorded in 1999 and has been sitting around for 13 years, occasionally heard but not released to the public.

You can listen to it here:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

This will insert a player and load your_mp3_file.mp3 into it.

“Pretty Lady” was one of the first songs I wrote – it came into being sometime between 1992 and 1996 while I was at Lakehead University.

This is a song that I play during down times at camp during the summer – staff actually request it – now they can have it for their own and so can you.

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Back again next week to reveal the next creation.

Create Something – Week 1 – Poster

January 7th, 2012 · 3 Comments

So it is the Saturday of Week 1 of Create Something Year.

I have created a poster version of the Camp Counsellor’s Manifesto that I wrote many years ago. The background image is of Canoe Lake from my years spent at Camp Wapomeo.

There are four versions of the poster available for download. There is a High Res version and a Low Res version.

There is also an American spelling of “counselor” version – both High Res and Low Res.

It is designed to be a 24″ x 36″ poster – printed at your local print shop.

Let me know what you think!

Until next week.
