The Spin Cycle

The weather was wild, howling through windows and rattling blinds, the chooks almost lost their shelter, and clothes came to life, their flight cut short by sod-making rain. Though a rare occurrence, I like to see clothes fly, as it creates a sense of freedom. That is until such time as they need to be washed.

I suppose I should have been washing clothes. But instead I started kicking and thumping the washing machine, interested in what music it might have to offer.

Procrastination is the parent of creativity and soon, instead of washing, I was making electronic music. In the piece below, all the samples are provided by the washing machine, over who's driving rhythms I laid some blues tunes on a MK 2. The music was fun to make and I hope you enjoy listening.
