[microsound] BEACH MIX

[B <b@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I’m definitely up for the beach idea.  Nice and focused – and there’s 
lot to play with in terms of sonic content – both natural sounds – and 
the sounds of people, radios, surfboards etc. Memories of days out on 
the sand.

I’ve just moved from Eastbourne to Southampton. And even though there's 
a coastline here, it’s all very industrial.  On a hot sunny day like 
today I’m missing the beaches at Eastbourne and Brighton. Brighton 
beach rocks – and my ears are still ringing from the fantastic summer 
beach gigs that Fat Boy Slim put on a couple of years back.

Peace.
