Netaudio London 2011: The Picnoleptic Muse
12/06/11 16:54
I might be doing some gigs later on this year* to promote the Feather Hammer album, which is where this track comes from (or will come from, once the album is completed). I'm very excited about it all, and will definitely post news about it on this site as soon as I can. For now I just have to concentrate on finishing off the production, and adapting everything for live using Albleton and my lovely new APC40.
*this projection could get blown out by a few months, since film soundtrack work takes priority (i.e., we need to pay our bills, right?) and I just got news of some urgent film work that needs doing in July. Time will tell if I manage to get everything done. Now that I think about it, it's actually a good idea to take every projected date I publicise and add 2 months - I seem to have no concept of the limitations of time, space, distance and real life.

Update: Double Busy
22/09/10 21:53
Productivity is high! ... but you wouldn't guess that judging from the action on my website. Cobwebs are forming in the corners, stale air you can smell is coming from my music page which hasn't been updated in months and months. But I have been busy. Honest, gov! Double busy, you bet.
I've been basically holed up in my little studio room, sipping coffee - lots of coffee, wrapping up work on a film, finishing up an arranging/remix job for a band, working on another super secret project with a producer friend of mine (oh my GOD it's so exciting but I can't talk about it... yet. All I can say is that it is directly related to my obsession with David Bowie), starting a new production project with a singer songwriter, and now it's the start of the teaching year... it's all happening. It's a bit stressful, but I invited it all upon myself - I wanted it all, because I love it! Better to be busy with loads of fun projects than not.
Since Matt has been home, he's been helping me out in the studio with the technical/sound engineering side of things. We're like a busy little production team, its ace: I breeze in and do the creative stuff, flounce off and he gets down to making it sound pretty. The partnership came about after I was asked to help re-arrange/remix an album for The Millipede Engine. I thought this project would be a one-off, since I had never been asked to do such a thing before... but since then more opportunities have unexpectedly come our way and we're thinking this could become a regular thing. There's probably a market out there for our niche: not many budget studios can offer composition and arrangement on top of session playing, and everything else (remixing/production, recording, mixing and mastering). Might promote it and see what happens...
In other news, I love this because the beginning section reminds me of Gavin Bryars (Sinking of the Titanic) and the rest reminds me of Tavener:

New music and updates soon, promise.
________Returning to the Gimp once again, to enhance and crop my world
04/02/09 19:18
Searching for a good image editor for Mac is not easy (when you’re a tightarse like me who demands that all downloadable apps be free). I must have searched the interwebs for 3 or 4 hours for a good free program and now have just realised that I must return to the Gimp. My old friend, that nasty floating-4-window mind-job of a crappy program. I suppose the Gimp is a fitting name - you love to despise it, the dirty little secret that you don’t tell your fancy ‘photoshop’ and ‘aperture’ friends about, but at the end of the day it fulfills your needs when you need it to.
And this means I can get another step closer to finishing this website once and for all! I bought this domain a year ago in a fit of optimism and forward thinking, and it took that long PLUS a boredom filled snow-week off work to finally get me moving on it.
And since beginning yesterday morning I feel like I’m on a roll with this thing. I got the camera out and took some pictures of the studio space, in all its shabby glory. Being generally terrible with a camera I was shocked and awed by the results - i.e., they’re not half bad as far as pictures of walls go. Decided to make the little paper bird my mascot and logo for the site, seems fitting since he hangs above every recording I make. If anyone can draw a better one for me, I would sure appreciate it!
