dalecooper57 may or may not necessarily be my real name, although I couldn't swear to it. An aging hippy living in Devon, I do all this stuff (and I do mean everything - blog, animation, music, photography, the lot) on my lovely smartphone because I started like that, and now I'm too stubborn to get a computer. I don't have a theme, because I don't see why I'd want to talk about the same thing all the time, so why only write about one thing? So if you like eclecticism, humour, nonsense, opinionated ranting, and occasionally educational stuff, you've come to the right place. Any and all feedback is welcome, both positive and negative, on the content, style and overall look of the blog. You keep following me, I'll keep telling you stuff, ok? Cheers, dalecooper57

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Full disclosure – I have an ulterior motive for setting the prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, which nevertheless is simple enough; Reflections.

I know we’ve had a variation on this theme more than once before, but I’m confident there’s still plenty of scope for your creative energies to flow freely and provide us with some stunning photos for Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here to curate and compare your photographic offerings.

To get involved with the challenge; check out the Cosmic Photo Prompt each Friday, then post a photo (or photos) on your blog the following Monday, with a pingback link to my Monday post.

New album launch.

I’m delighted to inform you today marks the continuation of my musical publishing adventure, with the release of my second full length collection of original material, Sonic Cosmos.

The seven track album was composed, produced and mixed from scratch, using my Remixlive and edjing apps and includes custom-made artwork for each tune (which may also be purchased individually) in addition to the main cover shown above.

This time around there’s a varied selection; ranging from throbbing techno and retro synthwave, to chilled electronica and jangling guitars, all of which you can listen to via the embedded player below, where you may also buy any of the tunes which take your fancy.

Thank you to anyone who has already supported my creative endeavours by purchasing my eclectic (and very reasonably priced) audio output, I hope you all enjoy my latest offering.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good morn-ternoo-vening to you, wherever you may be and welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge for this Monday, themed around the prompt; From an unusual angle.

My initial photos were of creepy crawlies in the garden and some nice raindrops on roses (one of Julie Andrews’ favourite things, apparently) until the distorting effect of the glass in kitchen door caught my eye.

I took several shots of myself from various angles without, and I would like to stress this, without pulling any silly faces at all. The results are, nonetheless, troubling…

What interesting perspective did you bring to the challenge this week? Let us see your personal spin on the prompt, it couldn’t be easier…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

For your inspiration on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I’m returning to a prompt which led to some interesting results on previous occasions; From an unusual angle.

Which means the world is your proverbial bivalve mollusc, providing said mollusc is viewed from a surprising perspective of course.

Enjoy your weekend and good luck with finding new ways to look at life, see you on Monday.

Midweek musical madness.

Time for more sonic experimentation to brighten up your hump day.

Firstly, here’s a brand new slab of deep, dark techno, called Fathom…

…followed by this free download of a truly preposterous concoction; two previously separate compositions spliced together to make up a veritable cornucopia of weird noises and conspicuous bleepery, Datastream.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week celebrating the advent of; Midsummer.

I chose to illustrate the midpoint of 2021 with some simple shots of the garden, showcasing our growing collection of clematis varieties which are already flowering well this year.

How did you do with the challenge over the weekend, let’s have a look…

Midnight mix.

While we’re on the subject of mixing, here’s the result of me mashing together two of my own crazily cacophonous creations to come up with an even more extraordinarily eclectic confection of sonic extravagance.

Behold the frenetic, skittering, glitching cavalcade of confusion which is Klatter

Cosmic Photo prompt.

For your prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I’m making it easy by setting the theme (with the usual seasonally-adjusted caveat for those of you in distant lands) as; Midsummer.

The solstice was only a few days ago, so I think that’s close enough to the middle of the year to count and the weather even looks fairly decent. So get out and show us how your area of the globe looks at this halfway point of 2021.
