Stuff and nonsense

Wow, what a week!

well, not really. Apart from the inauguration of President Obama and the first airing of my friends new radio show not much important stuff has happened, but it has been busy!

Because of exams at Cardiff Uni I've had to cover other shifts at the union which means i get to do club nights! It makes a change being able to walk around the different venues and hearing dance, Drum and Bass and Rock instead of being stuck in a booth for hours listening to what can be painful comedy.

If you had to create the sound of bricks falling or of a machine gun on a diving aircraft how would you go about it? That was the problem posed by my classmates and I as we tried to record a goon show script for an assignment.
How did we do it? We dropped some shoes down a thin wooden staircase for the bricks and hit a latch on a flightcase with a rubber mallet for the machine gun! Fun Times.
