Happy New year everyone!!!

First off, a little New Year video!

Secondly, here is my attempt at Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek”:

Thirdly, what will 2011 bring? Well I hope it’s a great year for everyone. As for me music-wise 2011; my full length studio album will be completed over the next few months and will be released in the spring. It should be available on Itunes, Amazon and hopefully other places such as Spotify and Bandcamp (on this site). Not just here but I will most likely also be spreading word of my new music via YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud and Facebook so stay tuned!!

Peace and Love,

Andrew

A few weeks ago I posted a video to YouTube which contained my birthday message for Imogen Heap’s birthday on December 8th.

I included my rendition of her “The Song that never was”, which basically consists of Imogen’s provided vocal tracks with my interpretation of the music. I actually included a little background singing too over the the verses when the music kicks in fully.

Thought I would share here for keep’s sake.

Will be uploading my own rendition of “Hide & Seek” over the next week too, in time for the new year hopefully!

Someone on a forum came up with a good idea to trace back your favourite music (how and when you discovered it). Rather than making up a boring story I thought I would put my music heroes into chronological order of when I discovered them. It’s an interesting exercise and one that shows me I think that my musical taste is reasonably diverse.
