Uncooked Composition 5
Now for a complete break from the norm... a guitar.
I'm not nearly as confident improvising on the guitar as I am on the piano. Mostly because discordant noises on the piano sound intentional. The same noise on a guitar sounds like failure.
Still, I found this in amongst a pile of old recordings (a virtual pile, it was on a backup drive). It was recorded some time in late 2003, I think. As always, there's a bit of a stutter at the start. That's kind of the point of this project.

I made this
Reading over recent posts, you may have gotten the impression that I'm a bit of a geek. I occasionally need to remind myself that I wasn't always so this weekend, I took a few hours and drew a picture of Oskar (the youngling).
Here are a few pictures I took of the drawing as it came along. Apologies for the quality not being great but my drawing studio isn't the best setup for photography.
Initial sketch of his head. 
A bit more arm. 
Some detail on the eyes to try and get a feel for the style. 
Shading around the head and detail on the mouth. 
Detail on his clothing. 
Texture and depth added to the arm. 
More depth to the clothes. 
Finished. -
Uncooked Composition 4
Listening again to these tracks makes me think I must have spent a lot of my time in the 80s watching heartwarming, uplifting, made-for-tv movies.
This should be thought of as a companion piece to the waltzy one from before as there was 23 seconds between finishing that one and starting to record this one.
As described here, this is one of a series of random, unprocessed piano doodles posted to remind me to play more often.

I apparently felt in a waltzy mood when I recorded this one
