Surrounded

It's been a while again. I didn't think that it'd be possible to be more busy than I was over the summer, but it has been. Aaron (My brother and agent) got me a 100 minute documentary in 5.1 surround sound!!!

This meant that I had to get some more monitors. I got Tannoy Reveals for rear and centre and a sub-woofer which matches my existing Tannoy System 8s. I also had to get a sound level meter to calibrate the sustem and I have to say that it sounds terrific. I get all the outs I need from the Yamaha 01x (with a bit of fiddling about) and Cubase SX3 is surround enabled...Brilliant!!!

I'm also working on a short film and a feature...Should keep me busy for a while.

Another job which is now finished is the Czech radio job. You can now hear my idents/news/weather etc... on these stations...Click to listen...
















I've been to the guitar shop again...I decided to get a fretted Warwick Streamer Jazzman LX fretted to pair with my fretless...


The fretless has such a lovely sound and feel, I thought that this would be a great partner for it!!!

Catch up 2

Prague.

A lovely city. We went to visit our sub-publishers who we have met a couple of times in London. They a re a really lovely bunch...A family company, who are really great to deal with.. We also met up with our friend Pavel who works for them and he was kind enough to drive us back to the airport after a fantastic lunch in LEHKÁ HLAVA (Clear Head) (Boršov 2/280, Praha 1 - Staré Město, Otevřeno: Po-Ne 11:30-24:00 Tel. rezervace: 222 220 665), a wonderfully strange vegetarian restaurant hidden away in a lovely backstreet. The food was terrific and the atmosphere wonderful (check out the gallery on the website!!! I'm currently writing the music for CRo (Czech broadcasting) regional radio network, so hopefully we'll be back soon. I got the job through our sub-publishers!!!

Paris 2.

A flying visit to check out MusicForProd, a new online system for production music online downloads which was developed by our French sub-publishers. We decided to buy the sustem...You can see it in action at www.artfulproductionmusic.co.uk. I popped up to Montmartre to look at the fantastic view over the city and on my way back to the airport, I managed to fall down the gap between the metro train and the platform!!! Luckily all I damaged was my pride (badly) and my shin (a nasty bump). I am now considerably more careful when getting on and off the tube!!!
