 ITS ON!

"JUST FOR THE RECORD TOO"
EUROPE

This is the last blog entry at this address.....signed "Cycling Britain, Just For the Record 1" off now
New blog address for the next mission/album is here:


Here we go!

This year I am taking it up a gear and my second solo album is going to be recorded on a 4000km cycling adventure around Europe capturing the sound of the places i visit.
After last years album mission to the furthest points of mainland Britain I am going to load up my bike and see what inspirational recording locations I can find in Europe.



WATCH THIS:


Starting at Edam in Holland, my journey will take me to 
Gruyére (Switzerland), Gorgonzola (Italy) and finally, 
Camembert in France.


I leave on the 27th August 2013


I have set up a Pledge music page for those that would like to pre order a copy of the new album “…Just For The Record Too”

I have also put a few different options of ways to get involved on my Pledge page.

Spinning Plates


23rd Feb 2013

Accidentally finding great places with great acoustics (free tracking locations) : 
Dover castle tunnels and inside a roman lighthouse
Battle abbey ruins, and a monks dormitory, great acoustic reflections



I have finished the edit of the 'snowboarding whilst playing guitar video' ( it was last year whilst setting up at the top of the mountain that the idea of recording the album whilst doing the bike ride occurred) uploaded video comedy, 'the best place to work on a song is whilst flying down the side of a mountain.'

“no friends on a powder day” how true, they found my video and gave a great shout out…Cheers!

Multitasking on the bike trainer…singing and playing whilst cycling, editing, whilst cycling, working, whilst cycling…..



Plans are on for this years mission /album are starting to take shape, 2 possibilities, as soon as they are on the table I will post here first!

One of the great things about cycle training in Kent/Sussex is there are great buildings to lean ya bike on! ha ha



Really enjoyed playing up in North London On Sunday 17th Feb, Cheers Steve, Matt, Pete and Hannah

All part of the adventure! week beginning 28/09/12

Week beginning 28th September 2012


These last few weeks i’ve been out free tracking the last of the overdubs for the album. woo ha!




A disused 300 metre hop railway tunnel, such an immense sound with a long decay, recorded drum parts and backing vocals here. 





Great example of free tracking ( recording in an inspirational location) 
Singing in the dark with the imagination of what is in this tunnel? Scary…walked a little faster to get out of there!



About a mile hike along the old railway embankment as the autumn sun was setting.....







Lamberhurst church, such history and an amazing thought provoking old building. 





Standing in the middle of the nave, on my own with the sound of the wind and the rain on the stain glass windows. Then a moment of sunshine lit up the church.







The 2nd world war pillbox out side Bodium castle, recorded some guitar and backing vocals here ( with the occasional child running in making machine gun noises) 


Great reflecting the sound of your voice off of the top of the ceiling. I bet when they built the pillbox they were not thinking about recording vocals…especially with a laptop?












So, the last of the tracks are with the producer Clive Martin now……just the last mix tweaks to go!.....getting closer now

Press is starting to roll, momentum is great!
