Week 104: Previews

Hi Guys! Soundcloud is awesome... I've created a group of song previews. Have a listen. Let me know which is your favorite. I'm working on some 90 second videos for the previews, so I can upload them to YouTube. I'll be in Brighton/London over Christmas.
Keep in touch!

Week 103: Spaceman Playlist


I'm kind of locked away working on my music, singing and songwriting, trying to make the songs better. Listening to space oddity & rocket man, to see how 21st century man could compare.

I love these songs... they take you somewhere else!

Week 102: Soundcloud & YouTube

I've finally got round to reading about music promotion. It looks like soundcloud is a place where people discover 'new' music. I use it as a sort of private library for ideas and collaborations.


I'm going to open it up to you, so you can hear some of the original Jam sessions, recordings, duets & rehearsals of your favorite songs. I also upload new songs I'm playing with that are recorded directly from my iPhone.




Secondly, the importance of YouTube has been brought to my attention. I love video! In fact I bought a video camera last year, but have never used it! What a shame:( But that's gonna change and I will be posting more video on my site:



Please subscribe to my YouTube channel. You may see some surprising stuff;)


Here's a video of a cover of One by U2. Recorded in Barcelona earlier this year


Here's a video made by my good friend & tech wizard Mario Zuccarello. He'd just got these big lights and was dying to play with them and I was part of the experiment... It felt like being in a sauna (with my clothes on!..)

Here's what we managed to do. Remember this is all DIY and we mixed in some video from the film TOMANDOTE.



I'm back in Barcelona and planning to work & collaborate on more artistic projects, which have been by far, my most satisfying & interesting experiences.

Week 101: VideoBlog 1

I've created my first videoBlog from home on the iPhone.
It contains an informal explanation of music related activities & getting to grips with video content.



It was my first time recording myself. Will try to improve it next time, by swithching off the TV! and maybe closing the windows for the street traffic, but then again, I quite like some atmosphere, so I might just have the background sound at a low level.



Natural light during daytime may also be better. Look out for VideoBlog 2! It should be better:)

P.S. I'm also told that video should be landscape for those watching on mobile devices;)
