      <description>Ambient Composition 1</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>I've always wished that I was a musician, I love music. When I was young, my parents even paid for piano lessons, although I gave that up shortly after. Back then I saw it as tedious, and I never saw any real improvement.</p>

<p>I'm hoping to change direction. I seem to always have a tune inside my head and it needs to get out!</p>

<p>I recently bought a new computer powerful enough to run some pretty amazing software synthesizers, so I've started composing some music. Here's a pretty basic one I wrote today:</p>

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/flash/mp3player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="/flash/mp3player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&amp;bg=0xf8f8f8&amp;leftbg=0xeeeeee&amp;lefticon=0x666666&amp;rightbg=0xcccccc&amp;rightbghover=0x999999&amp;righticon=0x666666&amp;righticonhover=0xffffff&amp;text=0x666666&amp;slider=0x666666&amp;track=0xFFFFFF&amp;border=0x666666&amp;loader=0x9FFFB8&amp;soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fenigmacurryweb.s3.amazonaws.com%2FRyan_McGuire_-_Ambient_Composition_1_-_May_31_2009.mp3%3FAWSAccessKeyId%3D0JN1QB6N50D9MPHAQ8R2%26%23038%3B"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"></object><br/>

<p>It's pretty ambient. This is for two reasons:</p>
<ol>
	<li>I actually <em>like</em> ambient music, eg. Harold Budd or The Dead Texan.</li>
	<li>It's got a low barrier to entry, nice long whole notes. :)</li>
</ol>
