Title says it all ready, in a tremendous rush today, on way to a gig in Wales, so won't get back until very late. Decided today that the piece would be a bit of sound design, so I created to very strange patches using Omnisphere and Alchemy and this is the result!!Enjoy Daily Creation Challenge - Day 7 Rush Rush Rush by Neil BruceRush rush rush!!PeaceNeil

Piece a day music challenge
Ok, so I am unfortunately coming to the end of an interesting period of work which I have thoroughly enjoyed during my time here. The contract finishes on the 21st of October, and I thought to myself, what could I do everyday between now and then. I was inspired by watching this video of a woman who took a picture of herself everyday for three years.
A typical piece of advice in photography is to take a photo everyday by means of practising and honing your skill, this also applies to composing too. So I thought to myself that I would set myself the challenge of composing a piece of music every day until the end of my contact.
The rules I set myself were as follows
- Piece has to be longer than 30 seconds.
- Can't be an existing piece or idea.
- Can be music or sound art or soundscape.
Part of the difficulty lies in that I might not be able to be near my studio everyday, but I hope to upload some sonic creation or event everyday.
So with no further ado, here is the first piece
Day 1 - Incoming
