Goodwood Festival of Speed, Mapping Projection from Darkroom Motion Graphics on Vimeo.
In July, I was asked by the wonderful people at Darkroom.tv to provide audio for their show event at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. With petrol-headed sound design to the fore, as well as original composition, editing of other musical favourites and my voiceover début, it was a job to remember. Just wish I’d been able to stick around for magnums of champagne afterwards…

Posted in : Media
Annakin’s third album, Icarus Heart, is now available for download through iTunes. Produced through last summer, it’s another collection of wonderful songs from Annakin which Dimitri Tikovoi and I variously twisted and warped, enhanced with real and electronic elements and liberally enhanced with as much creative freedom as an artist can give a producer. I produced 8 tracks of the album and this one, Second Skin, is one of my favourites. Check out Annakin’s website here, whilst the album can be downloaded here. Let me know what you think.

Oh website how I have neglected you. Apologies to those of you who check in regularly but this has been the most incredibly busy summer in the history of ever. Alongside the Professor Penguin album, I’ve also produced 8 tracks of the new Annakin record (out in January, clips to follow) and the début album for Grant Martin and Tom Towers entitled ‘Songs From The Yellow Room’… Soon, this will be yours to buy in all the usual places but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek. This song’s called Invisible. Let me know what you think… And I promise more regular updates. I do I do I do.

Posted in : Media
I’m delighted to announce the release of Professor Penguin’s album ‘Planes’. I produced this with the Penguin himself, Jonny Abraham, earlier this summer after 6 months of joyous studio sessions. Fresh from a barnstorming set at LeeFest last weekend and an inaugural radio play on BBC 6Music, the album is already attracting some big attention. You can download it in your choice of format from Bandcamp here or contact Jonny directly via his Twitter page here to request a CD copy. It’ll be in iTunes and a variety of other digital retailers before long too. The track ‘Present’ is free on Bandcamp and a little click of the play button above should help convince you that it’s a track you need.

So the FA have decided there’ll be no official song for this year’s World Cup, eh? Well, that hasn’t stopped Cayte and I penning what we reckon should be the unofficial official anthem! Picture the montage sequence - Rooney sliding on both knees towards the England fans having completed a hat-trick, Lampard whipping in a 90th minute free-kick, Gerrard going on a Maradona-esque mazy run through a static defence… you get the picture. Turn it up loud, close your eyes and… believe.

I’ve just embarked on a new album/EP (who knows where it’ll take us?) project with Professor Penguin, aka Jonny Abraham. Here’s the first of our collaborations, a yearning and rather beautiful thing called Past. You can hear the rest of the Prof’s demos on his myspace page, which we’ll be steadily working our way through in the coming weeks: www.myspace.com/professorpenguinuk

Here’s the second Teaser from the forthcoming Calm Of Zero (formerly Echobelly) album. As you’ll know if you’ve visited the site before, I spent a few weeks this summer co-producing this album with Glenn and Sonya and it was an utterly lovely experience. So, here’s a slice of radio friendly pop. I’ll let you know album release details as soon as I have them…

Throughout August, I’ve been co-producing and mixing the new album for the legendary and lovely Calm Of Zero (formerly Echobelly). The songs are great and the album promises to be a corker. It’s high time you lucky people got to hear a bit I reckon, so here’s the first of a couple of teasers I’ll upload over the coming days. Wrap your ears around this stomper…
