Thank you! I love to be plain in the best sense in anything I do.
Lately, I keep using a 25 dollar stand-alone softsynth called sawcutter 2.0 (www.cuttermusic.com, v 1.0 is free) as a composition device. It's fun to work out melodies in two octaves and four voices, particularly as the synth will actually sample small wave files, much more easily than other samplers I have known (great poem title: "samplers I have known").

I was just thinking today how it's time for me to make a youtube of Creative Commons Canada nature shots, with this as the backing.
