What I’ve been making, playing, and thinking about — straight from the studio and the stage.

D-Com-Pression
Read the note →: D-Com-PressionThat’s what you go through post a Burning Man session. So much physically, mentally and spiritually to unpack after 8 days in the dusty, smokin’ hot (this year particularly), craziness that is Black Rock City! I had some great musical plays out there – some of them even had some people attending (!), and all…

Feeling the Burn
Read the note →: Feeling the Burn4 weeks before I hit the dusty bowl of Black Rock City, Nevada for Burning Man. I’m getting just a little excited! I’ve spend the last 2 months paring back my equipment set-up to my reduced Burn set-up. The Moog Sub37 and Novation Peak (2 hardware synths) have been ditched and I’ve replaced any sounds…

Bad weather stops Play
Read the note →: Bad weather stops PlayOr something like that. I have to find some reason for falling behind on music tasks, and the weather is a pretty apt excuse right now. A week behind on my monthly Musical Notes (this post), and 5 days behind on my weekly BandCamp track. It’s the 3 extra layers of clothing I have to…

Cover me, I’m going in!!
Read the note →: Cover me, I’m going in!!Ok, it’s time to get serious….musically! Enough moping around under cover of COVID bemoaning the state of the entertainment industry and generally just not getting myself firing up like I do most years (at least in the beginning). We’re now 1/3 of the way through 2022 and the motivation quagmire has persisted…. BUT… NOT ANY…

All Fool’s Day…
Read the note →: All Fool’s Day…Here we are, 25% through the year! I was meant to be reporting back with my updated goals and missions for 2022, but nah! Still not there yet. So it’s a very quick post to say the tunez are still going well, with my BandCamp Release A Week (The R.A.W. Series), exactly up to date…

Musical output back ‘on track’
Read the note →: Musical output back ‘on track’Not much to report in the February Musical Notes, other than to say that I have caught up my Release-A-Week backlog: R.A.W. 2022 WIP is coming along nicely on BandCamp with 8 releases available as of this morning, which is just as well since we are 8 Fridays into 2022. Check out the latest release…

Long Overdue Catch up…
Read the note →: Long Overdue Catch up…No, not a social catchup, but rather a catch up with the year!! It’s only February and I already feel behind. I’m not quite sure what I’m behind in, as I haven’t even got it together to work out what 2022’s music goals are gonna be. I’m certainly behind in my basic aim to finish…

Happy New Year
Read the note →: Happy New YearSo we’re back at that point again? The start of a new year. Usually I would be doing a whole summary of the wins and challenges for the past year, goals hit, goals missed etc, etc. But this year I think I’m just gonna float into the new year pretty contentedly and not get too…

Lawyers practice Law, I practice Music…
Read the note →: Lawyers practice Law, I practice Music…So many people say they don’t know what I do. The subtext is – they don’t know what I do all day ‘working’ in my studio. Well, I’ve decided that I will say I’m practicing music from now on. Because that is basically what it is. Practicing producing new tunes, with a view to producing…

Where can I get your music?
Read the note →: Where can I get your music?…is a question I get asked quite often. Sooooo… here you go: The best place to go is BandCamp. There you will find all my BandCamp releases (music that is only released to BandCamp) as well as my official Fine Tune Records releases (these are also released to all the usual digital platforms – Spotify,…
