Monday Night Martin
Once upon a time I lugged my PC to The Star on the first Monday of each month to play lovingly created playlists as loudly as I could get away with accompanied by swirling visuals generated by WinAmp’s MilkDrop plugin projected on to a screen. This had something of a cult following for a few years.
#09: Minimalism and Modern Classical (October 2008)
Every October the Star joins in with Mole Valley’s Arts Alive festival so I usually tried to do something a little bit different for my October nights. This is the first one I did and is very arty! It’s also shorter than most as I showed a video at the end of Pink Floyd performing Echoes at Pompeii to mark the recent death of Richard Wright.
