Recurrence & Native Place - Re-mastered

Re-mastered versions of Recurrence & Native Place are now available on my label Ether Records. Recurrence includes the extra track "Second Nature" (originally the b-side of "In The Meantime" single). Native Place includes the previously single only release "So Right". Both albums benefit greatly from being digitally re-mastered. Available in stores and online this month. See further album info below. 01/08/10

Gig in Japan!

Got together with some musician friends in Japan to do a very low key gig in Tokyo. It was actually part of an acoustic event but we decided to do it "plugged in" cos it's more fun! Guest muscicians were: Bass: Hirata Hironobu (Swinging Popsicle), Drums: Takahashi Hiroshi (HARISS), Guitar: Miho Asahi. Special thanks to Hiroshi san for putting it together. 01/09/09

Detroit Metal City

Wrote and arranged two tracks for the japanese film Detroit Metal City. The two songs were for an all girl punk band who appear in the film called the "Kintama Girls". 2008/08/01

Video

Added "Music Stop" and "Something So Good" promo videos to the images section, and a lyrics section which needs refining. 24/04/06

More Anna..

Another arrangement i did for Anna Tsuchiya, this time an all out rock song called "Kuroi Namida". Probably the heaviest guitar sound I've ever used, had a lot of fun playing on this one, great melody too. 2007/01/10

Finished arrangements for Anna's latest single "Change your Life", that's me playing guitar, bass and keys - though not in the video obviously. A far cry from TRC, but a great experience to arrange and write for another artist. 27/01/06

Japanese projects: V6

Wrote the track "Blazing Age" for Japanese pop group V6's new album. 26/11/05

Japanese project: Anna Tsuchiya

For those wondering what i've been up to in Japan, I'm writing/arranging music and lyrics for Japanese artists and TV commercials. I recently finished three arrangements "Somebody Help Me", "In My Hands" and "My Lullaby" (the music for which i also wrote) for Japanese Actress/Singer Anna Tsuchiya, check out the tracks on her new mini-album "Taste My Beat", it rocks!. 6/09/05

Other Songs

I've collected together some info on the music I worked on in Japan between 2003-2010. All in all, it was a lot of fun working there. I got to meet a lot of great musicians and engineers along the way. See it here.
