Private Lessons

So I’ve modified my usual synth patch to not reset the attack envelope on keychances and added a little bit of portamento to give a rather nice sliding effect. Here’s a little tune to demonstrate what I’m talking about. The chord progression is based on a song called Private Lessons by Kevin O’Neill, Peter Ward

Adminy Stuff

Ok, so Mr Daniels pointed out that there was no obvious way to login, register, or anything like that. So I’ve re-added the meta widget. It’s over there, on the right, at the top of the sidebar.

Morphine in C

Ok, so driven in from the garden by a plethora of wasps and one annoying neighbour, I was planning to stick my head in a book, but sadly my synth got a hold of me. So, without further ado, I present Morphine in C – the music I image would be played in a psychiatric

Tig Tag

So, I’ve finally got around to adding some tags to the first couple of dozen articles and adding a tag cloud (it’s down there on the right hand side).

Eek!

Another year draws to a close and this one’s been a little odd. I guess if it was a Victorian children’s novel, chapter 2009 would be subtitled “In which many things long since dead were laid to rest and a surprising new door opens.” So, I’m forty next year. Not yet, but nearly. One thing

The Temple of Bague

It’s back again – my favourite theme for this site. I’ve tried a few others in the past but, really, nelefa.org just looks wrong without the marbled effect and the little relief-bague on it. The change of theme also serves as an excuse to actually post something too – ever since being sucked into the
