This reminds me of a friend who listed a piece on Ebay because it looked like E.T.
It sold and the buyer didn't pay, but TV shows started a bidding war for an interview on their programs!

Dipping into the surf at Valla
Last weekend I played with a few recordings made at Valla Beach last year, adding resonators to create a submersive effect.
Valla Beach
Shared a couple of videos of Valla Beach earlier this year and have since published this recording from around then.
Valla is about a half an hour south of Coffs Harbour and my partner's family have a beach house there. It's been a site for great lightning pics and I saw an octopus and a seal and maybe a merman.
This video was recorded using a Rode Videomic on my Nikon D5100 SLR. I've added a couple of Valhalla reverbs, as well as a low C using Massive and mastered with Ozone 7.
Holidays in the sun
Last year I found it good to spend the winter school holidays in Queensland.
The alternative can be a kind of cabin fever from being stuck indoors. And Modifyre was on, which was ace.
This year I returned to Modifyre and also Brisbane, where I visited GOMA and stayed in Woolloongabba again.
I had an idea to make music with the noisy taps, though they were less interesting than other sounds in the kitchen once I brought them into Ableton Live.
While at Modifyre I made videos, including one of the photogenic Reynolds Creek.
Then when at Valla Beach I made more, such as the waves one morning.
I've been visiting the beach house for more than a decade now. It's undergone changes and the central stairwell was first added with an extension after a neighbouring house blocked the view. The result was a series of changes up the street, as houses all rose to reclaim their views.
The wires in the portals in the walls of the stairwell were added with a more recent extension. I can't help but pluck on them and the wall cavity is uneven in their resonance. There are a few nice notes among the varying tensions across the wires.

My thunderstorm pics in The Midcoast Observer
While on holiday at Valla Beach I photographed a spectacular thunderstorm off the coast and sent one of the lighter images to the local paper, The Midcoast Observer.
You can see other photographs of the storm here. They were mostly taken with a 30 second exposure, so you can see the stars streak from the Earth's orbit and that blur of light on the horizon is a fishing boat that was travelling up the coast.
