Umbro industries pitch for new album M&M
Ok, so i have jumped on the bandswagons and put in a bid for the manufacturing and marketing of "til you're no longer blinkered". Was just in the outdoor pool (at my gym) and thinking i only need three grand or so of investment to get this labour of so much love out...
eek, wow and flutter – the audio is done!!!
Sincere apologies if you were actually interested and would have liked me to have continued to recount the studio recording journey beyond the first track (as i did so lovingly here). i just got too engrossed in actually doing it. often forgot camera too…I will...
in defence of Sade’s Soldier of Love
i have happened across a couple of unappreciative reviews of Queen of Smooth's new lead single from new album 'Soldier of Love'. A Guardian review concluded the track was lame and dull with not much happening (from what i recall). Yet i was struck by the track...
monolake interview – producing an electronic music album with no compression
Having absorbed and enjoyed the new album 'Silence' from Robert Henke as Monolake, he was obliging enough to satiate my curiousity about his commitment to produce this album employing absolutely no compression. Now, it seems compression is considered by some, perhaps...

my first house gig
Manc based engineering & musical companyera Janet Wolstenhome invited me to play a few tracks live and almost unplugged at her friend's get-together which turned out to be a thoroly fun creative and otherwise sharing. Despite being rather disabled by my chronic pain,...
