Casting one’s mind back to 15 June, 2017.<\/p>\n

An email arrives. It’s Julie, asking how everything is going. I look out the window. It’s overcast yet mild, with fresh westerly winds. Leaves frolic upon their branches and a grey cloud floats into view. Inside, the orchestra plays Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 whilst Eri eats a sandwich.

I don’t get a lot of time these days to play around with Cubase<\/a> and the like, but I try to do a little bit every couple of days. As Anthony Trollope once said or, more likely, wrote: <\/p>\n
