Friend Album Release

Friend Album Preview by memotone

Please enjoy!

New Piece 'Replace'

After not feeling happy with my last track I decided to take all the sounds from it I like and build a new piece out of them. This is that piece and I am very happy with it. You will see this feature on my ‘Friend’ album, whenever that may be released.
I hope you enjoy

New track 'Unplaced'

Here is the latest. I have been working on the track for a few days. After lots of re-jigging and shuffling of sounds I think this is probably the best conclusion I can reach with this piece. As I have been fiddling with it for a few days I am not sure if I can properly hear it now, so please let me know what you think after giving it a fresh ear. At the moment it is on the B-sides pile. But that could change after reaction.

Please enjoy all the same!

I have very nearly got my 2010 live set ready to roll. And this year I will stick with the same pieces to get them really perfected rather than making a new piece every gig.

memo

BOOK: Out of the Blue by Chris Yates. (papa)

REVIEWS:

'Like driving through stunning countryside, Yates's books force you to slow down and appreciate the scenery'
Independant on Sunday

'One day Chris Yates's books will be available on prescription from your doctor, as an antidote to modern-day ailments with more power to soothe and subdue than any tranquillizer.'
Angler's Mail

'There is more beautiful, securely thought, elegantly expressed and subtly responsive writing in this book than in volume after volume that make far greater claims to "literature".'
The Daily Telegraph

My dad is a hugh inspiration to me and my musical composition. So I can thank him for what I have and what I may have in the future. If you ever come across one of his books, have a dip inside.

New Album Cover Design: memotone - Friend

Let me know what you think.

New Piece: Eating the Sun

I have just uploaded my newest piece to myspace. It is a mix of electronica, hip hop and jazz. I think its probably the best live drumming I have ever done in a piece so I am quite proud of that.

Another new live video. I think my best yet.

Live from Tollard Royal. A seven minute improvisation using glockenspiel, piano, pre recorded drum samples from a Pearl acoustic kit and a Roland HD-1, field samples, voice samples, fretless bass and clarinet all running through my Boss RC-50.

Please enjoy!

New Live Piece. 'Cymbal Rush Phrase Interpretation'

I have been playing around with a few phrases and it seems Thom Yorke's piano live from Cymbal Rush worked nearly perfectly. I just had to change one note. So here is the new bedroom session with the help of Thom Yorke.



Enjoy.
