Here’s a link to a fun project just completed for The Gadget Show/Channel 5. With space invader-inspired projections by the inspirational guys at Darkroom I wrote the soundtrack for this viral which was filmed in 3D at Marble Arch in early July. The whole idea was dreamt up by the irrepressible Jason Bradbury. Watch the feature on the show which airs on Monday 2nd August at 8pm.

Here’s the second track from Professor Penguin’s forthcoming album which is progressing ever so ever so nicely. Since the last track was posted, the Prof has been booked to appear on the main stage at this summer’s Leefest, which will take place on August 14th. He’s also been filmed for a Channel 4 documentary about said appearance, so I’ll let you know when we’ve got an air-date. In the meantime, check out Pilot… And if you want to follow the Penguin himself, you may do so on Twitter, right here.

Here’s the latest of the songs Cayte and I have co-written with Electrovamp. I’ve just wrapped up the production and thought it was high time you got to hear it. It’s pop at its darkest - all about not letting love go… at any cost. Check out the girls’ myspace here.

Time for some more pop, my friends. Cayte and I penned this a couple of months ago but it has taken me AGES to find time to finish producing it. Sigh. Never mind, it’s here now. So, here’s a playful retort on behalf of all talented female artists whose skills have been overlooked in favour of their physical attributes for their video shoots. Let me know what you think.

There are times when a job comes in which seems almost too fun to be true and so it was with sound designing Purple Ronnie’s website, which I’ve just finished on behalf of ad and design agency Lateral. As well as designing the background ambiences for each of the website’s scenes, there were over 100 spot sound effects to make too. Getting paid to belch into a microphone? Who could say no?! Check out the site here: http://www.purpleronnie.com/

Happy Easter! To help celebrate the passing of the first quarter of the year, here’s a huge pop slammer. Another from the Jono Buchanan/Cayte Webber production stable and this one’s a real stallion. Ever wondered what Shania Twain might sound like on acid? Wonder no more…
