July 19, 2011

Nath is coming along nicely – I’ve been listening to Mix 2 all weekend and am ready for the next one. There are some stunning parts to the theme and I’ll probably post one or two later on this week. There are a number of fairly well developed themes that have yet to be completed [...]

Nath Core Theme – 101BPM – Development

June 15, 2011

Podcast: Play in new window

Having barely survived last week, I have implemented the changes that Charlotte and I agreed upon when I was in North Carolina. I relaid my studio to make better use of the space and to encourage me to play more – which is a ridiculous thing to struggle with as a musician – and it [...]
