It gives me great pleasure to announce the release of Professor Penguin’s second single, Pirate. You can watch the video right here and now. Jonny and I produced this track together and the release also features a brand-new collaborative production in the form of B-side, Paper. The news gets better - these joyous songs can be yours, for free. Anyone who said there was no such as a free single was clearly a liar or, more graciously, perhaps hadn’t yet heard the wonderful sounds of Professor Penguin. Get your free download here. The début album, Planes, follows on April 9th.

Before Christmas, I was asked to produce a composition written by Annakin for the latest film she’s scored for Swiss videographer Christian Ammann. The movie’s now finished, so have a watch and listen.

‘Pilot’ is the first single to be taken from Professor Penguin’s forthcoming album ‘Planes’. It has been awarded the prestigious honour of becoming John Kennedy’s ‘Record of the Week’ on his XFM show and has also been spun by Nick Grimshaw on his Radio 1 show. So what better time to release this visual accompaniment, especially as it’ll be released on November 28th. Come and check out the Penguin’s extraordinary live show at Camden’s Dublin Castle on Tuesday, November 22nd. And follow him on Twitter here.

I was asked to produce the music for this film written by the wonderful Annakin and directed by Christian Ammann, the Swiss photographer and film-maker. Dais II is a fashion film promoting Irish fashion designers and is a collaboration between Christian and stylist Sonya Lennon. The project showcases successful Irish designers and was shot on location in Bantry House and environs, Co. Cork. The soundtrack was composed by Annakin and produced/mixed by me.
