Heath – 27 Minutes 59 Seconds

November 24, 2008

Classic music2work2 – pianos, strings, alternating time signatures and themes – oh, and it’s long.

 

2007 was the year that music2work2 really started to take shape. I was working with a Korg Triton and my recording and mixing chops were getting better. New gear is funny – there is just something about sitting down [...]

We’ve been doing stuff…

November 21, 2008

Honest!
Been a very busy week – getting into new rhythms and things – I am digging the new Friday.  I’m currently re-writing all the liner notes on the music2work2 website and re-structuring the pages – things move so quickly and I am very thankful for that.
Getting in some early thanks:

Anyway – while I’m doing this I’m listening to Travis’ new album [...]

Getting ready for iSound.com

November 5, 2008

We’re being featured as the daily download at http://www.isound.com – we believe that they’re going to be promoting Identification.  I hadn’t listened to the track in a while and had forgotten how much I enjoy working to it.  It was purpose written to accompany an informational display at a trade stand – something you could [...]

Change is a coming…

November 4, 2008
