This month I’ll be playing at Manuela Tapas on Saturday the 24th. It’s a nice Spanish restaurant in Neukölln close to the Maybachüfer, gemütlich and with very tasty food. I should have a few new songs to debut…always a bit nerve-wracking to play songs live for the first time.
In the meantime, here are some pictures from SideSeeing last Sunday:
I’ve spent the last few weeks redesiging my website, as you can probably tell.
I decided to go for a really clean look, and to make the music stand out, especially on the home page.
For the web geeks amongst you, I used a lot of CSS3 for the rounded-corners, drop-shadows, and gradients. I’m also using the Fontin Sans font from exljbris, very nice font in my opinion. Clean but with personality to it…of course I’m far from a typography expert, but I disgress.
I’m really happy with how the discography page turned out. I used the new custom post types from WordPress 3 and incorporated the Bandcamp player into the design. I wanted to have something similar to the Bandcamp layout, but with more control of how it looked and what I could add to it.
So there it is. I’ve learned a lot about web-design these past 2 years, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Now to focus on the music again…
The show this Saturday at Emma T has been cancelled. Sad, but life goes on. I’m waiting to confirm some new gigs very soon.
I also recorded The Single Purpose Room for the solo guitar album, and have been editing and mixing it…but a nasty stomach bug got in the way. Hopefully I’ll have it done by next week.
Matt Stevens recently offered some stems from his track Burning Bandstands to be remixed. I thought it’d be fun, and ended up turning it into Meshuggah-style metal romp. Matt released it as part of his Sunday Free Noodle series, check it out on his blog.
For those that don’t know him, Matt is a phenomanal guitarist from the UK who uses live-looping to create some wonderful music. He has one CD out called Echo, and a new one coming out very soon called Ghost.
Finally added two more songs to my solo guitar album, Build and Pierrot. Already working on the next batch…
As always, the songs are free to download. I just ask for your email address so I can add you to the mailing list and keep you updated on future songs.
The guys over at the Jemsite blog featured me in their Guitar Hero Series. I got to talk about my move to Berlin and what that meant to me musically, amongst other things. Check it out.
Thanks to Ava for putting it together.
