Narcissism, Networks & Nitpicking

July 14th, 2009

My life has been an intensely hectic maze of late – finishing off my degree at Manchester School of Art, moving house, finishing tracks, organising remixes and so on – hence no updates on here since December. That is all to change, starting today!

The record is now due to be released during November, so not too long to wait now. In the mean time I’ve just launched my Myspace and Facebook pages, so if you’re on either of those social networks look me up. Both pages have 6 tracks on there, 4 album tracks, an exclusive remix of Believe the Weatherman by my good friend Jason Waterfalls (aka Fred Baker) and a new track, Meander, from the upcoming Creaked Records Anniversary Compliation CD.

You can really make a big difference for me by adding me and inviting your friends, maybe we can send my music viral. The whole reason I make music, is for people to hear it and enjoy it, so the more people that do that: the better.

In other news, rehersals of my live act will be beginning soon. The group of musicians that are getting together are incredibly talented and I think we’re going to have one hell of a show. Once we’ve got to a decent level I’ll post videos of our rehersals. Watch this space.

I finished my 3 year degree in Interactive Arts a few weeks ago, I’ve now started to get fairly nostagic. I’m going to miss the atmosphere, but hopefully not miss my friends as I’m sure we’ll keep in touch in one form or another. Just after I finished, I remembered this video ‘The Whole Kit & Caboodle’ – it was the first assignment I ever did for University, over the summer before I started. Given simply the brief The Whole Kit & Caboodle, I made a song, a video and asked people the question “What is the Whole Kit & Caboodle?” – give it a go :o)
