Is that finished?
Is that track finished? …it’s a question that I am regularly asking myself and a question producers all around the world are asking the same. And the answer depends on what the music “is finished for”? Every month I finish a bunch of tracks because they are complete enough that… Listen ⇢

Live from Burning Man
Actually that’s not true. Whilst in a parallel universe somewhere I was playing live at the 2020 Buring Man on 5 September, alas in this universe….it was not to be. So I’ve put together a mix set of my new tracks that I had been producing for BM2020, and you… Listen ⇢

Carrying on…
Along with most of the world right now, there’s really not too much new to report this month. My music production engine is purring along nicely with a steady stream of new music in all of the various stages of development. I’m aiming for 6 new tracks next month. I… Listen ⇢

Seven Year Itch? Nah!
Seven years ago, I took the plunge and, after almost 15 years in the finance industry, dived headlong into the joys of music. The best decision I ever made. I’d would love to have made more progress in those 7 years, but I have also come to realise that this… Listen ⇢

Real Holidays?
It’s quite strange that, now that I am a full time musician, I actually have way less real holiday time (or proper downtime for that matter). When I was a wage slave, I would get at least 20 working days a year holiday and then most weekends would be pretty… Listen ⇢
