Dice Society: There you go – Perfect

Rich is wondering whether they should change direction and maybe pretend to be French robots, or something.

I’m pretty sure they’re not going to leave it sounding like that.

Why is everything so LOUD

This post was not prompted by me getting old and thinking everything is too loud, it’s prompted by the fact that every other time I go to the pub, I have to shout to make myself heard.

They might be doing for the following reason: People who are talking can’t actually be drinking, so if the music is so loud they can’t talk we’ll sell more beer. Which sort of makes sense, with the flaw that if the music wasn’t so loud I would be in the pub more often and they’d sell more drink that way.

They whole point of going out with your friends is to chat with them, not just stand in the same room as them while drinking. If you take that away, I might as well look at a photo of my friends while drinking tins from the off-license.

Dice Society: All over the place…

This was possibly a mistake, I was running a bit late on my lunch-break, and didn’t have time to pop into the studio to film an update, so I left the camera with the band. You might think this footage is bad, you should see the stuff I had to edit out, it was terrible.

Feeling a bit Zep

I was feeling a bit Zep yesterday, so I did this. I think maybe the guitars a bit too loud.

‘A Sheep Like Ewe’ – new track

The stupid title is due to the slight similarity to that big hit Edwyn Collins had. This is the first time in ages I’ve actually played the drums – using MIDI, I’ve no room for a real kit – and it makes such a difference to the feel of the track I’m going to have to do it every time from now on.

Recent Music

Here is some music I have been making recently

‘Forte’ – another short track

Another short track I made, this one featuring piano and reverb, with a bit of synth, etc.

‘Bendy’ – free download

A short track I did on saturday between 6pm and 7:30 (which is when I got ready to go to the pub to meet my chums)

There is a download button on the player if you’d like to keep a copy to play later.

Why not check out my Soundcloud page for more things?

Dice Society: We want some *real* brass

The second studio update from the guys in Dice Society, this time with subtitles because my microphone sounded appalling for reasons yet to be discovered. Next time, I use the mindisc recorder.
