		<title>Butterfly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Wikipedia The &#8216;Butterfly Attractor&#8216; more formally known as The Lorenz attractor, (named for Edward N. Lorenz), is &#8216;a fractal structure corresponding to the long-term behavior of the Lorenz oscillator. The Lorenz oscillator is a 3-dimensional dynamical system that exhibits chaotic flow, noted for its lemniscate shape&#8217;. I&#8217;m not sure I know what any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peeping into Plant Pots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I rediscovered my Raynox M-250 Macro lens sitting in a drawer, completely unloved.  I decided to dust it off and venture into the garden on one of the hottest days of the year so far. This macro lens attachment is a bargain basement snap-on lens bought from Ebay for about £20. Using it, autofocus [...]]]></description>

		<title>Serengeti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An old track remixed a little to mark the start of the South African World Cup. Ok, the Serengeti is absolutely bloody miles from South Africa, and the samples are probably from nowhere near the Serengeti either.  I&#8217;ll call it Artistic license. Lots of african choir samples mixed into a funky breakbeat, with lots of [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Want To Be Your Long Term Lover, Not Just Another One Night Stand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most depressing realities of being a web designer is looking back at the nice shiny and perfectly presented site you handed over to a client a few months earlier, to discover that it has been &#8216;updated&#8217; by them. This can range from slight annoyance, to abject horror. Very rarely do I get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creating the Soundtrack to My Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing the piano and creating music from the time I could reach the keys of the small upright piano in the dining room. My mother played the piano very well and had a small collection of sheet music which was, and in many ways still is, a mystery to me. My fascination began [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rain and Shine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two tunes for the price of one, purely because one had &#8216;Shine&#8217; in the title, and the other &#8216;Rain&#8217;. This means I can crowbar them together almost as though they belong with each other. Sunshine A exceedingly optimistic, happy and cheerful piece of piano &#8216;pop&#8217; with less of an electronic feel than usual for me. Very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Endings</title>

		<title>Viva La Vida</title>

		<title>Minor Miracles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The setting sun, a shallow stream,  a margarita, a cool breeze,  boats returning from distant adventure, flip-flops in the sand, palm trees overhead, and hope for a bright new dawn. Some middle of the night chill.  Strings, bells, harp, choir, oboe and piano mixed into an ambient zen. Play/Download Key West 22.04.10 -Looking out towards [...]]]></description>

		<title>Six Miles High</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To kill a few hours on a night fight from JFK to Heathrow &#8211; I had a go at getting something approaching tuneful and not too cheesey from the iPhone music app iSequence. Beep Street&#8217;s app is made in the style of a step time sequencer, with horizontal tracks and blocks triggering sounds in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Power of Sculpture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My father was a sculptor. He had a rare skill of visualising a block of material and extracting a three dimensional model from within it. He would always tell me when I watched him working &#8216;it&#8217;s in there somewhere. I just have to find it&#8217;. His ability to produce an object at the required size [...]]]></description>
