Been in the studio for 3 days with DJ Bricksta (a friend & producer who came over from Australia to do a tour.) So after a lot of hard work and a large influence from Fatboy slim, this is what we came up with.

My First Ever R&B Production
Aug 21st
I recently got together with a few people from my music college and we were set a project to record a song by the end of the week. In my group was Luke, a 15 year old singer who is very talented and very good at playing the piano, me (producer & engineer) and my sister who also provided vocals. Luke gave me 4 chords to work on, so I went into the corner of the room and worked on producing a basic track whilst Nadine and Luke went to the other corner and came up with a melody and some lyrics. Luke liked my production, so at the end of the week we went into the studio and recorded the final thing. I then took the project home, did some final tweaking, a bit of mastering and we had a finished product.

Psychedelic
May 16th
I’ve decided to try something new here and make some sort of club dance futuristic tune. This one needs some mean vocals, so if you feel you’re up for it, send me an email.
Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Stand Up
Mar 30th
Finished a new song recently, called “Stand Up.” Not quite sure what kind of genre this is, but the tune is very sample-driven with a rock ‘n roll twist to it. Hours of sample hunting through old vinyls has finally paid off.
Let me know what you think in the comments.

“Sackpad”
Mar 4th
So as well as making music I also do a bit of programming and some other creative stuff. My latest and biggest project has been an application called Sackpad. There is a game for the PS3 called LittleBigPlanet (click the link to learn more about the game) but you basically play as a character called Sackboy and you can create your own levels and share them with the community.
Recently, Media Molecule (or Mm as they are usually referred to by, the creators of LittleBigPlanet) released a new mode for the game called “Online Create.” This mode actually allows you to create levels with people from all over the world. A friend and I run a podcast called Sackcast, which consists of about 10 members at the moment. I am the co-leader and Shermzor is the leader. Sackpad is part of Sackcast, and us guys over at Sackcast realised that there would be a few issues when trying to create with people on the other side of the world. A few of them were:
- Communication issues (lag, microphone etc..)
- Planning problems
- Coming up with ideas mid-way through creating
So we decided to create a system which would allow you to plan your level out on your PC, then send it over to your friend so that they can make some changes on the level, and then they could send it back to you to review the changes. Then both people could print out the plan of the level and then take it to their PS3′s so they both knew what they were working on. Each person could work on a different section, as 4 people are allowed into online create mode at once on LBP. This is the main idea of Sackpad. It seemed like a good idea and would help the community a lot when it came to creating online, so we went through with it. Sackpad is currently in beta testing. Here is how it all began:
