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

Midweek remix.

I was idly fiddling with my musical creation gizmos at the weekend and ended up making a new and extended remix of my original tune, Cuban Feelz.

This version is more what I was aiming for the first time round, with more depth, more layers and an all-round bigger sound, I hope you like it.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I decided to go wild for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, capturing photos to match the theme In bloom on the country lanes just outside Barnstaple.

How did your hunt for floral beauty go this week..?

Sunday mix.

Another techno megamix, with which to enliven your Sunday afternoon, created over two days of meticulous sequencing and looping last weekend.

Enjoy the rhythmic wonders of Holodaze.

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Running late as usual, sorry, but here’s your prompt for the next edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

We’re nearly halfway through 2021 already, can you believe that? I think I’m fairly safe in assuming that means at least some plants are in flowering in most parts of the world and I can set this week’s theme as; In bloom.

So snap your florific photos and post some pretty petals to make Monday’s post magnificent.

Have a fabulous weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good morning, I hope your week has started successfully, whether you are back at work or enjoying the sunshine on this glorious bank holiday Monday. But wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, it’s time to take a break and check out the sumptuous, summery images in this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is prompted by the theme; Here comes Summer.

I took a very pleasant drive up into the hills above Barnstaple again yesterday, this time capturing the views from around the village of Heanton Punchardon. I’ve included a short video, giving a 360° view from a field below the village, so you too can enjoy the peace and quiet of the Devon countryside.

What delights did you find for us to wonder at this week, come on, we’d love to see…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I’m going to risk the derisive comments of those of you whose climates haven’t caught up yet (sorry in advance, David) and set the theme for this bank holiday weekend as; Here comes Summer.

Ok, I know I’ve probably just jinxed the weather for thousands of English BBQ enthusiasts, for which I once again apologize, but maybe we’ll get lucky.

So get out in the sunshine, if you can find some, to capture the arrival of whichever season you’re calling it at the moment and we’ll see what offerings you have to show us on Monday.

The return of Techno Tuesday.

Another Bandcamp release for your listening pleasure; this one is a bit of an epic masterpiece, even if I do say so myself, (which, of course, I do) as it should be, given that I spent all weekend making it.

So crank up your speakers and enjoy the complex rhythms and sweeping soundscapes of Transposition.

Go on, have a boogie, you know you want to…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re all doing our own thing, because the prompt was; Freestyle.

I didn’t capture anything new at the weekend, mostly because of the horrible weather yesterday, so I decided to combine elements of 12 previous shots to create an artwork of composite imagery. See if you can spot them all.

Behold my radical redesign of Exeter cathedral.

Now it’s time for you to share your talents with the rest of the class, so, who’s first..?

Cosmic Photo prompt.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I’ll leave it entirely up to you what you share with us, as we’re going themeless with the prompt; Freestyle.

Admittedly this is mainly because the weather here is looking atrocious for the whole weekend, but I don’t want to restrict y’all to indoor creativity, so you can showcase whatever photographic artistry you see fit.

I look forward to seeing what takes your fancy when we meet back here for Monday’s post.
