Most of yesterday was spent creating new Spotify Canvas animations for Letters From A Square Spoon. I noted, annoyingly, that all of the Salome Canvas animations have been deleted by Spotify without warning or notice, an action typical of this terrible company. Now, most of those canvases will not upload, perhaps because they are exactly (to the frame) 8 seconds, which is the limit. My newer canvases don't have this problem as they are now 7.68 secs.
Most of the canvases are simple and based on the album art. Several animations were recycled from others to save time, and half of the tracks use a simple loop of the cover art with some extra smoke and layering effects. The Sunchild and Anthem ones are rather pretty, a simple 'glittering sun' effect.
After that I started work on a new song called 'Breakfast of Delight', following on from the 'night' of the start of the album. It has a samba rhythm made entirely from breakfast making sounds. Here are the words so far:
Breakfast of delight
You are my
Breakfast of delight
Smoked salmon
Bacon and eggs
Grapefruit cherry
Coconut muesli
Maple butter pancakes
Fresh whipped cream
Breakfast of delight
You are my
Breakfast of delight
Snap and crackle
Coffee a-froth
Caviar toast
Marmalade sticky fingers
Plums-a-fancy
Champagne volcano
