Hello everyone,

I'm not very well today, no idea if it's the swine flu or not but got headache and general nasty symptoms, will go to GP if it keeps up but until then am resting it up... ish.

Just three little morsels of news for you today. Firstly, you can now watch my slightly electro-sun VBlog in the park on YouTube (or by using the player below!) in it I discuss things like progress on "Soundtract", what's happening with "Ambients" and just generally ramble like a fool:

Dance EP : "Tanz! Tanz! Tanz!"
Finally I've got a name (albeit a silly one) for the EP of "dance" tracks that I've got lying around my hard drive. I'm just sticking them altogether on this release because they're kinda nice and I can't see them ever fitting on anything else! Not even as b-sides! Currently the tracklisting is:

• They Both Want It
• In Stitches
• Hilditched
• Dissonant
• Not A Zombie
• Uppers and Downers
• Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers
• Mr Leonard

If you've heard snippets of these songs before then you'll know what to expect! It's too early to say but I'm thinking it will be free as the songs are heavily sample-based and I can't be bothered to get clearance! You can hear one of the tracks "Uppers and Downers" on YouTube or by watching on the player below:

"Ambients" Mastering

It's nearly here! Next Tuesday I will be going up to Edinburgh to master the "Ambients" album with my brother and then it'll be ready to release onto iTunes and in CD format. I'll no doubt tell you more as things progress but I'm both nervous and excited right now!

Oh yeah, hello to all my new MySpace friends, you're all very cool even if some of your profiles are a bit nuts!
See you all soon!!

Ooh look it's a blog.
I haven't done one of these in a while as I dangerously moved into the world of VBlogging. It hurt.
If you didn't get a chance to see my VBlog on YouTube, you can watch it below.



If you can please vote for it and comment, I must say it was quite weird but is probably more interesting than this outdated text nonsense!

"On The Nightwaves" Music Video
In other news (I've been told off by Lee because apparently I don't mention them enough) one of the side projects I'm in "On The Nightwaves" (Click here for our MySpace) have been shooting a music video for one of our tracks called "Take Me Away".

The shoot was done in a day and is currently off being edited or whatnot, so we should see something from that pretty soon. It's our job to get a "final" mix of the song sorted to use on the video but we're struggling with finding a nice guitar sound, I think we're gonna try swapping the electric for an acoustic.

Ambients Mastering
Finally (For now) I must admit I'm quite excited, on the 5th of May I'm going up to Edinburgh to spend two days mastering the "Ambients" album with my brother Ghostsmut. It'll be quite mad to be fair, finally finishing it all off. And then after that it'll get put on iTunes and stuff. How exciting!
I haven't done this before so I'm expecting it to be quite a tough slog sitting down and changing songs that I'm already so used to. Obviously we'll want to make the tracks as good as they can possibly be, I'll just have to not be so precious about it all!
Currently I'm (slowly) remaking the track "Moonlit Streets" as I just wasn't happy with the quality of the original recording.

Anyway, there's another VBlog coming soon! Stay tuned and keep the messages coming :D
