Good news is that\u2019s because this year I\u2019ve been super busy being productive. I\u2019ve had a medley of very exciting music scoring\/sound design\/sound art commissions to work on, including for Levi\u2019s Footwear, (embargoed until spring 2022), and an exhibition titled \u2018Echoes in the Fossils\u2019 as part of Focal Point Gallery\u2019s online exhibition.  There have also been other projects which I\u2019ll write about in due course","content":"<p>It\u2019s been so long since I\u2019ve written a blog entry!<\/p><p>Good news is that\u2019s because this year I\u2019ve been super busy being productive.<\/p><p>Since spring 2021 I\u2019ve had a medley of very exciting music scoring\/sound design\/sound art commissions to work on, including a music and sound design score for Levi\u2019s Footwear, (embargoed until spring 2022), and a audio-visual exhibition titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fpg.org.uk\/exhibition\/echoes-in-the-fossils\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018Echoes in the Fossils\u2019<\/a> as part of Focal Point Gallery\u2019s online exhibition and FPG Sounds project. There have also been other projects which I\u2019ll write about in due course.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve been writing, recording and publishing a variety of music for sync licensing purposes. Because I have been so busy however, I\u2019ve had to put back some commercial releases until the new year - watch this space on that.<\/p><p>Anyways, come the end of November, when I had finished my commissions and got through Covid (still feeling the effects though - that cough! Annoying!) I had some time to wind down and sink into the cosy darkening nights and coming of winter.<\/p><p>I spent some time getting back out in nature and started collecting recordings and images of the beautiful landscape. I just love the dark bare branches against the matte sky, the dulling amber leaves crumbling away and mulching back into the earth ready to nourish the soil and start life again. I designed a selection of designs inspired by all of this, which are available to buy on a varied selection of organic apparel and recycled art stock. Music releases are to follow. Please see my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.Instagram.com\/k_a_b_official_uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> account - which I kind of use as a sketch pad as well as communication tool - for some binaural recordings taken in the wintery woods.<\/p><p>The collection launched is called <a href=\"https:\/\/k-a-b.net\/collection\/bare-branches-collection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bare Branches<\/a>. Please look back into it throughout the season where I will be adding audio and visuals as and when inspiration calls.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, have a great winter solstice, cool Yule and a happy and prosperous 2022.<\/p><p>K-A-B<\/p><p>17\/12\/21<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p>","urlTitle":"bare-branches-and-ending-the-year","url":"\/blog\/bare-branches-and-ending-the-year\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/bare-branches-and-ending-the-year\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/k-a-b.net\/blog\/bare-branches-and-ending-the-year\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1639738513,"updatedAt":1639748121,"publishedAt":1639748121,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":85630,"name":"K-A-B"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/pqgtyrrmng0ypurlzugx7xw161aadkpjouabmto7imylegf8.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/pqgtyrrmng0ypurlzugx7xw161aadkpjouabmto7imylegf8.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/pqgtyrrmng0ypurlzugx7xw161aadkpjouabmto7imylegf8.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"Bare branches and winter inspiration","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":40337,"title":"K-A-B's Summer collection : LITHA BLOOM","url":"\/blog\/litha-bloom\/","urlTitle":"litha-bloom","division":85630,"description":"Step into the vibrant world of K-A-B\u2019s new collection Litha Bloom, where art meets the essence of summer solstice in a collection of prints on pure organic cotton products.
