Gardening questions on Soundscpaes, you'll have to rename it landscapes? Is this a cue for playing the Giant Hogweed?

Nice to hear Rebsie and Co. Fascinating way of creating music, by exchaning creations via MP3 files so someone else can work on it re-mix it and add material and then send it back!

Just shows what potential the technology has to bring all these talented musicians together rom all over the place. Amazing!

Boatman looking amazed -> - well, kind of.

Bit of a latecomer to this thread ... our broadband went down for two weeks and I've only just got back online. Unfortunately it means I didn't get to hear the show. Grrr!

Big thanks to Paul, the Tea Lady, Ralph and Carolyn for the pleasure of their company.

It certainly is unusual to create music by exchanging mp3s over the internet, but we've found it works really well and I've no doubt there will be more and more people doing it in future. It enables us to collaborate on every stage of the song, from writing to mixing, without having to trek up and down the M4. All the software we use (including the recording and mixing stuff) came free with our Apple Macs.

ARfm Landscapes ... nice one. It's a little known fact that when I'm not being a rock goddess I write organic gardening articles for an online magazine. My double life has been rumbled.
