From the Last Night of the Proms 2007, Fantasia on British Sea Songs - Jack's the Lad (Hornpipe).
Polly, the beautiful parrot who appears at 1.39, for example, was with me.
Movements two and four of the Berliner Sonata by Hans Ulrich Staeps. Recorded at the Irish Recorder and Viol Course in An Grianan, Termonfeckin in August 2007.
This is my bike journey from home to the Lee Valley Ice Centre, mostly via the Northern Outfall Sewer (Greenway) and the Lea Navigation Canal towpath.
The music is the last movement of Martinu's 5th Piano Concerto.
Je nay dueul by Alexander Agricola is here played in rehearsal on three viols and bass guitar.
Je nay dueul was published in Petrucci's "Odhecaton" of 1501, the first music to be printed with moveable type.
A video of the performance is available. Contact me if you would like to see it.
My retirement gift from work was a voucher for a balloon flight. I took the flight in June 2007, taking off from Brentwood, north east from London.
The music is by Alfred Schnittke - Suite in the Old Style, Fugue.
Time lapse video of the audience members returning to their seats at the end of the interval. BBC Promenade concert in the Royal Albert Hall, London on 21 July 2008.
This is me ice skating at a deserted Streatham Ice Rink, and was initially intended to show the sorry state of the art deco ceiling.
The music is a waltz from Candide by Leonard Bernstein.
Time lapse video of Broadgate Ice Rink in London being dismantled. Images are from the webcam. Unfortunately I missed some of the action (at around 42 secs) when I went skating!
The music (as if you care) is from Les Rondes by Martinu.
Sadly now demolished, the Shadbolt factory by the North Circular in London used to display its Veneer of the Week. This is a brief reminder of the excitement of the moment just after passing Costco, wondering what the current veneer would be.
I've extended the original video (to which this is a response) to include the Gaz de France branding.
The music this time is Prelude 19 from Book II of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
A video of the dismantling of the rink is now at http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=mXJrFKY84 y4
