Maybe I'm Amazed

I played this song at my sister's recent wedding. Here's a little demo I put together.

Dr. No meets Swan Dive

I found this fun video that my friend Bill made. It puts 'Theme From A Man Called Danger' under the opening credits for Dr. No. I worked on this tune with Bill & Molly (aka Swan Dive) and you can find it on their record, Words You Whisper.

Where did the rest of my studio go?

I guess it's now official.  I live in Florida, just outside of Orlando to be precise.  We're in the process of building a new house here so we have to rent for a little while.  This means my dedicated home studio space has been relegated to a small corner of our bedroom.  I'm always spouting the advantages of a minimalist approach and now I really get to practice what I preach.  

I had to ask myself what is essential.  Everything else is going into storage until the new digs (with a fantastic studio space!) are ready.  I brought my 27" iMac, audio interface & 1 good mic.  My Access Virus snow is a great synth for making many different kinds of sounds and it's tiny, so it made the cut.  I chose my long overlooked Roland D-50 to use as a keyboard controller, replacing my huge and heavy 88 key A-80.  My Deopfer A-100 modular and Kenton Pro-2000 midi to cv converter also made the trip because to be without a modular synth would be unbearable.  I also have my Sony PCM-D50 field recorder for capturing sounds.  Throw in a couple of guitars and a set of speakers (my trusty Tannoy Reveals) and that's it.  

Here Is The House

I did this Depeche Mode cover for a friend's compilation.  It was a bit of a struggle because I didn't want to just copy the original.  My version has a slight bossa nova feel, with CR78 drums, acoustic guitar/piano and some mono-synth runs.  Enjoy.
