Spent the last couple weeks working on some orchestral / electronic cross-over music destined for film & television (all going to plan!). Not my usual thing – I'm all about hypnotic techno and moody industrial – upbeat, melodic and epic and not really my style. Anyway, after spending a few days getting my head around orchestral programming the results started to come back pretty good. Out of the dozen-plus track or so which were completed, there were two that I am really happy with ... thanks to Raffi they've been added to the music player on this page. Check them out - Commander and also Adapt & Survive (under Cues) at the very bottom of the playlist. Both of these are short by necessity, but I plan to extend & mix them properly into full tracks after the Xmas holidays. Not bad for tentative first steps. Feeling totally uninspired by club music lately I'm heading off down this path for a while. Kind of talking about Xmas ... off out now to join crowds in Cause Way Bay. Having a big-ass dinner party and I can't trust anyone other than myself to pick up the right food ... Xmas is all about the right grub and dim sum simply will not do.Where the hell can I get good mince pies that don't cost $20 a pop?! I need about ... 300 ... for me.
