6th Update December 21st 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------
First update in an extremely long time. Other things have sort of taken over my life so Macjams has recieved some serious blanking on my part unfortunately. Haven't really completed a piece fit for release in a long time, or at least not as I see it. Been recording plenty and practising new techniques and using new ideas so the flare is still there. Posting the last track that I expect I ever will today, for anything else check out my homepage. On there you will find everything I used to to talk about doing on here and it is mostly WELL out of date. Feel free to keep listening.
Also...I can't seem to update my picture anymore. I don't look like that now!

5th Update July 12th 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Wahay I'm back! Great news first of all that I have now long since finished my GCSEs and am enjoying I'd say a well earned summer holiday. I did odds and ends of recording during that period and am still working on some stuff now. I've decided I'm going to post the track "Capas" and leave it open for people to mess with. Most of the other tracks I've done so far I've sampled quite a lot of vocals etc. on so I'm checking copyright information before I start posting any of those (if I ever do post them). Expect a lot more coming through in about a month as I'm currently in the process of redecorating/refurbing/completely redoing my studio area/bedroom so fingers crossed when it's done it will be a lot easier for me to be in here recording and updating this page. I will do the info on the tracks sooner or later, give me time! Anyway hope you enjoy this track it was a 3 hour write/record job but it can be worked on so I'm asking for help on it, thanks!

Just a note after I'd typed this, I've also recently aqquired Reason 3.0 so I've been using that in a lot of what I've got coming up too. Thought I'd let you know!

4th Update April 11th 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello again! It had been a while so I thought it best just to come on and give you some kind of update. Been to the height of my busy schedule at the moment what with all the GCSE revision and that kind of thing. I promise I'll update all of that song information when I get the time and there will be some new material soon, I have been recording but mostly just versions of some other tunes which I wanted to have a go at. I will also be commenting on and listening to everyones music again soon and I'm sorry if I've been a litte inactive on here in recent weeks. Incidentally anyone intersted in hearing the stuff I'm not allowed to post on here just let me know and I can send it to you. Thanks again and I hope you all have a great Easter!

3rd Update March 21st 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello again. First of all I'd like to say thanks to all the people that have given me a listen over the last few days I really appreciate it. Second, I'd like to comment on how much great music I've been listening to since I joined, extremely good stuff. Finally in reply to a comment made by 'charliechen' earlier on one of my songs sounding like a great foundation but perhaps needing lyrics or to have some kind of melodic through-line I'd like to point out that most of the songs on here are just foundations that I will build on late, however please continue with the advice it's a great help to me. Thanks again for listening will get back to you soon.

2nd Update March 19th 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a note to say that the songs are all here now and (the following was covered on my forum thread 'New to MacJams) thanks for all the advice and the welcome, as well as the praise. Although I'm now taking your advice into consideration, I had already submitted most of my tracks before I read any of this so they are on there now. In future I will stagger the submissions but at the moment there are a lot of people I know who I can't get a cd to straight away and they would be happy to get it on the internet. I will take time to listen to as much music as I can and rate it. For now I would be happy if people could give me a bit of listen...if you're not to busy that is.

This may also become a place for me to post reviews of bands I have seen or their latest releases, as well as some other MacJams users so stay tuned.

1st Update March 18th 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here will be all the tracks from my current CD: End In Sight EP. At this time the artwork is not available but will be soon, also unavailable is a cover that I do of Men At Work's "Overkill".

The new stuff, as you will hear, is extremely diverse. I'm trying not to stick with any set style and it's intersting to have a go and weird and wonderful stuff. Listen out for influences you think are in there.The Actual Track Ordering for the End In Sight EP is:
1)Waiting For The Right Time
2)Oh Worldy
3)You Won't Care
4)Weapon Of Choice
5)It Makes No Sense
6)Through the Passing of Time Part 1
7)Through the Passing of Time Part 2

These should all be on within the next week. Until then four of the songs can be found at:
http://www.funender.com/music/bands/9828/

Give them a listen and let me know what you think if you want. Just keep in mind that I'm currently in middle of/preparing for school exams and all this recording has been during this time so it has been difficult organising it all.

I look foward to being a part of the MacJams community and I hope you enjoy my muisc.
