I released the first EP in the Lies Of Love project at the end of last year, but since then I haven’t really been as active as I could be, so I’d thought I’d write a post about what I’m up to so both you and me (mostly me) know what to expect in the run up to the release of EP02: Forever this summer.

Live Shows

Memo to self: Must leave bedroom once in a while.

It often feels like there is more going on in my computer screen then there is outside my front door but there really is no substitute for real human interaction and live music. Despite plugging in, tuning up and tubing home all being far too much of a mission for this impatient Internet addict, I am going to endeavour to get out there a bit more.

I do have a gig with my band where I’ll be accompanied by my new band on the 26th March at Surya in Kings Cross. YOU should definitely be there. Facebook event.

Videos

Leading me nicely onto the idea of making my music seem a bit more real on the Internet. Myself and Faulkner like to make music on computers without thinking about if it’s possible to play it live. However, there are plenty of ways to fry a fish so I’m going to be trying to get some alternative versions of the songs on YouTube over the next couple of weeks, to give you a taste of what to expect at the live Lies Of Love shows.

I’ve also just reposted this video of unreleased song “Sorry”.

Remixes

I recently played around with Portico Quartets brilliant new track Steepless and realised how much fun it is playing around with songs that have already been “finished” so I’ll definitely be doing more of that soon, especially since I recently got some lovely new Logic plugins (namely Massive, Ozone and Addictive).

A new project

I’ve very recently started playing in a new band with Matt Bruce. Matt is a talented songwriter who, like me, likes synths as much as strings. Check out his Electropop project Not The Droids. I’m really excited to start playing Matt’s great songs out with him and working on new stuff too. Nothing online yet, but our unnamed 6 piece has started rehearsals so watch this space!

Blog posts

No doubt you’re thoroughly enjoying this bunch of rambling so far, so who am I to tease with some words and then not write some more words again after it? Absolutely nobody. As such, I’ll be sharing some thoughts I’ve had about music, musicians and more broadly new media. This will be coming… well, soon.
