JD73 Keyboard Vids Coming Soon!

Im currently making some new JD73 keyboard vids for your entertainment! Its gonna be a series of vids showing all the keys in my collection, with a proper overview of their features, sounds and plenty of ripping it up playing wise on all of them. 

The first video to come is an in depth look at the MemoryMoog Plus that i own. A rare and hugely powerful polysynth that amazes everytime i play it.

Here's a pic of mine...

Arbiter goes bust...:O(

Well another musical instrument distributor has just bitten the dust due to the financial tomfoolery thats going on. 

Arbiter distributed two of my favourite brands 1)Moog (who im endorsed by) and 2)Rhodes over here in the UK.

My best goes out to staff at Arbiter that have lost their jobs, particulary Bryan Borcherds who ive liased with loads regarding the new Rhodes recently. As it stands i have no idea who is going to take over distribution of the new Rhodes (the Mark 7 is due to hit pre-order customers around March time). Time will tell.

Thankfully Moog have already appointed a new distributor in the UK, Source Distribution . 

If i hear anything about a UK distributor for Rhodes ill post an update straight away.

Over and out

More album progress...

Im getting closer to finishing the album 'SuperSexy' now. I always make the mistake of saying when its going to be finished (i said end of Feb) but as i now remember from making Zeros and Ones, its something that us music makers should never do unless a deadline has been set by a label. So im not going to say when but it will be soon!

Im currently on with a track called 'Think Twice' featuring the vocal talents of Ella May who's currently on tour in the states fronting the live show with Nightmares On Wax. The track is very Quincy Jones esque. Think 'The Dude' meets 'Off the Wall' meets 'The Brothers Johnson' meets lots more! 

Ive also dropped some Rhodes solos in the last week (as in dropped on the track not got rid of!)

They always seem to come to me when im half asleep or exhausted so i know now that if im feeling like crap its the best time to do a solo..Think its something to do with not being too aware of your surroundings or something along those lines!

So its all coming together and sounding bigger and better than i ever imagined.. its just important that i get it right so im gonna take my time until its done.
