A short one today, as I’m ill as hell. My old friend Ben Walker has, as part of his daft Write 50 songs in 90 days challenge, run out of time. If you know Ben at all, this probably won’t come as much of a surprise. So, to catch up on the 30-or-so songs he needed to get back on track, he’s written 12 songs of 12 seconds length each, and plopped them all on 12 Seconds (another one of those sites in which you can tell the Electroweb what you’re up to).
Listen to it, as it’s fun; haiku-like, often. There’s a video of them all, and lengthy discussion of the philosophy of it all, viewable by clicking here. But, curiously, at no point does Ben think that he’s copping out or cheating by not writing full-length songs. Interesting, eh Ben? Hmm? Cheating, is it? Hmm?
