Happy New Year! I haven’t posted too much here, but I expect to do better in 2006.

I often attempt to enter various remix and music contests, but I rarely have time to finish something. Peter Kirn at Create Digital Music came up with a contest I actually have the attention span for: creating a one-second composition for the leap second.

Here’s my one-second ode to the leap second in WAV format (172K). I created it in FL Studio 5 using various software synthesizers and samples. It’s a sort of techno arpeggio thing that reminds me of a computer startup sound, only faster. It has a good beat, and you can dance to it. (Very quickly.)

Peter is going to compile all of the one-second submissions into a single composition, which should be interesting.
