So here is my most recent thoughts and activities in order of which comes to mind…
I’ve been offered an interview at Leeds College of Music for which I have to prepare a structured oral commentary of a song I’ve written and [...]

Its all piling up
Published January 27th, 2010 in Album progress, Audio/Studio, General thoughts and Music related. 0 CommentsFirst of all ‘lol’ at my last post for being so naive. While I have 7 songs just about finished thats pretty much the stage I’ve been at since then… That’s not to say I haven’t been at all productive.
In recent weeks I’ve recorded four new songs with my band for whom I drum [...]
Album Progress - Pt.3
Published September 21st, 2009 in Album progress and Music related. 0 CommentsIt would appear I wasn’t wrong about my creative juices. I’ve just got 2 tracks recorded in a week. (which is good by my standards) If I can keep it up I should have the music to all the tracks done, ready for vocals in a few weeks.
I am however back at college now [...]
Album Progress - Pt.2
Published September 13th, 2009 in Album progress, General thoughts and Music related. 0 CommentsLast weekend was unconvention Swansea, delivering the dose of knowledge and motivation I’ve come to expect from it. Having spent everyday of this week trying to record more of my album it seems like I’m fighting a losing battle.
There’s always something that comes up that’s unavoidable or indeed that I can’t resist setting me [...]
I finally managed to save up enough money to buy a laptop this week… Then I decided not to.

I’ve recently begun working on a solo album under the name ‘Parks of Bathgate’. It isn’t however to be strictly instrumental [...]
Having been ill for what feels like the last 13 years or so, I’ve been even less motivated than usual. Having also managed to completely run out of money due to my cars M.O.T. and tax being due at the same time I’ve been incredibly bored not being able to go and do anything to [...]
I’ve always maintained that I both liked snooker more and was better at it that pool. Tonight, well last night now, I changed my mind. I recently became a member of a club due to their having a snooker table. After a game or two I thought ‘I’m a little rusty’ After a couple more [...]
Its 4:30 am and I’ve just finished mastering my song describing words. This song isn’t exactly new, the recordings been a long time in the making. I had sort of given up on the song about half way through as I thought I was going off it, but I think in this particular case it [...]
Electro Acoustic Project
Published February 8th, 2009 in General thoughts, Music related and Reviews. 0 CommentsThe other day, like most days was a boring one. Yet I found myself somewhat inspired to do a bit of DIY…
I have an increasingly large collection of unfinished business where guitars are concerned, most of which need painted, but the weathers never good enough to go outside and spray them. (thats been my excuse [...]
