The Art Of Water Music

Thursday 11th is the broadcast date for a Radio documentary 4 I contributed to.

The Art Of Water Music explores "the complex relationship between water and music"
Its presented by Midge Ure and Midge came round my house to interview me for it which was fun. He was a nice guy and after explaining what I did we had a small jam. The Programme features a tune Water calapso, a shortened portion of which you can hear below. This was part of a small selection of tunes I made from samples of water that hopefully will be available soon. Water Calapso was made from sounds of water I recorded around the house including drips, flushes and the washing up. Some of the sounds I recreated using different sampling techniques so I could manipulate them in new ways so if your partial to some granular ....

The programme is 'choice' in the Radio Times, Independent, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Observer and Times this weekend. The Radio Times described it as 'never less than fascinating stuff'.

New Tunes

The work with the Attorneys is almost finished, we are still at the mixing stage so expect some new sounds fairly soon.

I've also been working on some new electronic tunes and by the end of the year I should have two albums ready, one with the band and one of solo business. It will just be a question of picking the tunes and arranging a release. mega gush.
