Making of “And the Revolution” 4

June 30th, 2009

l15083535281_910Things are going well, I have three tracks completed, two of which have already been played on the radio here in the UK and some in Germany and some in the USA, so things are also going well. Both “IED” and “Out On The Floor” are on my myspace page here, and I have had a good response from everyone about them.

“Current Affairs” is also done and music video is in progress, very excited about it. I am thinking I won’t release any singles from this album either especially not physical releases as singles, however I feel after doing a project like “Obsolete?” I will make a music video for each of them or at least most of them.

There are about 15 other tracks though some are 75% done and some are just ideas, but either way I am super excited. The album spans from euphoric and pleasant to dirty and noisy electronica already, and yes I am still gonna have a few guests, it’s just very slow to organise as everyone seems to be doing their albums at the same time.

But yes, things are going well. Rehearsals tomorrow for gigging season and I have some new songs to play so a little nervous about that but will get it all sorted tomorrow.

“Obsolete?” Premiere

March 21st, 2009

What can I say apart from it went, exactly as intended.  Pretty much a full house and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The room was pitch black apart from the visuals and I could make out faces every now and then, that were transfixed to the screen.

I had been up since 6.30am as I was so excited, so by about 10pm I was absolutely exhausted. I did Q&A afterwards and a tour of the museum.

I was interviewed by Dan Damon of BBC World Service, Future Music, Goldsmiths Radio, ZDNet.co.uk and several more did loads of photoshoots.  At the end I was happy it went well and I was happy to get back to the hotel, eat cookies and sleep. But I left the laptop on and got loads of nice emails and twitters, which I woke up to peek at every now and then.

More of the same tonight but with a full house, pictures will be about on the net soon, as we have a Flickr group arriving, and loads more press.

Just hanging out at The National Museum of Computing now and Just got to meet Peter Onion creator of the Elliott 803 emulator, a fantastic man who is very knowledgable about the 803. Also bumped into Dr Sue Black at lunch who has been helping raising awareness of TNMOC and Bletchley Park.

This message was transmitted from Bletchley Park.
