One step closer!

17 June 2011

So, I’m on target and have finished the 10 tracks for my new album ‘Lesson One’  this week and am ready for the next stage of mixing and mastering (see links if you’re curious what that means) which I’ll get into when I get back from Bali on the 25th as I have to leave Australia for a few days to get my visa active over here.  Luckily I’ve been offered the use of a tasty studio down the road from where I am at the moment by Russell at Collins Music. Without this offer I’m not sure how I’d move forward as with a zero budget options are limited so a massive thank you to Russell for his offer is in order! Cheers mate you are a star.

All in all it shouldn’t be too long before I can announce the release of this record. I just need to sort out the artwork which I am unsure of so far and have had a few knock backs from different artists. I’ll see about borrowing a camera and perhaps pick a good location for some shots but if anyone out there has any artwork or knows of anyone who might be interested please get in touch through this website.

I’m really looking forward to getting this record out and a lot has happened since I started it. I have to say it’s really not easy doing it alone with nothing to invest but time and of course the few thousand it cost to buy the mics, PC and software. I have tried to get people/labels etc involved along the way but it seems for whatever reason not to have come to anything although there have been near misses. I do think it is for the best this way for me though as I’ve learned massively along the way having read many ‘how to’ articles and watched a whole bunch of recording tip videos on youtube. I’ve wondered at times how I’ll ever get it done but at least this way I own it and after the experience I had with the last record that means a lot!! That’s another story but let me just say there are selfish people out there who are only interested in there own gain no mater how it effects the people they use to get what they want. I’ll go into that in more detail another time with that one.

Anyway thing’s are looking good and moving forward so I’ll let you know when it’s ready for your ears.

Much love

Podcast break! Album announcement.

15 November 2010

Hey,

So I mentioned this the other day on twitter but for those who didn’t catch it here’s an update. I’m on tour at the moment playing some guitar in Liam Baileys band. I’ve been listening to my demo’s on the bus and have decided that instead of releasing and Ep I’m going to put an album together as I think I have enough material to do it and the demo’s sound massive so I’m really excited. I’ve got roughly 12 tracks I need to record and have made the decision to give the podcast a rest for a bit in order to free up the time to record the album. As you know I’m unsigned so I’ll be putting it together in my spare time and need to free up as much as possible. I personally can’t wait to hear the finished product.

Also, I’m well into the idea of printing the finished album up on vinyl. I love that stuff and know that there’s a lot of folks out there like myself. The only thing is that most companies I’ve found that press vinyl have a minimum order. I’m not sure how many I’d sell so I’d like to get an idea of how many folks out there would like a copy of my next album on vinyl? I think the best thing to do also would be to give a copy of mp3’s or wave files away free with every copy sold so you’d still be able to stick it on your mp3 player or burn a CD but have the luxury of a lovely 12″ record with artwork in full. Sounds good to me.

Anyone who’d like to buy a vinyl copy of my next release leave a comment here on my website so I can get an idea of the figures.

Here’s that taster demo again:

Thanks muchly
