I haven’t been updating the blog much, but I have been posting some videos of me making music on my YouTube channel.

Album is up on BandCamp :)
Album is finished, uploaded today and available to stream on BandCamp, the usual streaming services will have it in the next week or so.
Album Update – Track 8, Echo to the South
Another short update on the album progress – I’m 10 tracks in now, so coming along quicker than I expected, so “Echo to the South” is up on SoundCloud an end of the month release is looking like it might actually happen 😀
And that is my son in the cover picture having a good old shouting match with his older sister!
Album Update – Track 4, Long Crossing
I’ve finished off a few tracks for my first album now, and have put track 4 up on SoundCloud
Hopefully, the “epic” feel comes across – watching/reading too much Tolkien does that to you!
Now on all the streamings :)
Recently finished a third track – which is again an ambient electronic tune with some digitally created vocals made with the help of the amazing AlterEgo VST by Plogue.
Most importantly though, everyone let me in their stores! So my stuff can (potentially) be heard on Spotify, GooglePlay, Amazon, Tidal, iTunes, and Deezer; which I think is pretty cool 🙂
Making some music
I’ve always been interested in music, and have on and off played guitar, keyboard, and various other instruments over the years – just never particularly well or long enough to release anything. This year, I decided that I would try to actually make some music I would listen to (and hopefully others!), so I picked up a PreSonus StudioOne upgrade to Pro from the “Artist” version that came free with my external sound card (an AudioBox 96).
My first tune, though not great – isn’t too bad:
My second tune is all based on a running joke at work and was a little more upbeat and lo-fi (mostly due to the quality of the vocal samples I used).
So far, I’m having fun making this stuff – even if nobody listens; and it’s quite the stress reliever after a busy day of programming!
