A Little Update
Here’s a little update that’s been long overdue. Four songs for the new album are done now. For two more I still need to record and mix in some more vocals. It’s really just another…

Sicily, oh Sicily
2 weeks since I came back from the Sicily tour. How quickly time flies by. I had to work a lot of hours doing tech support to make up for the time away. I’m also…

At the Watertower (Live)
You might have read my tweets when I prepared for my gig at the watertower in Bernau and wondered why on earth I would spend so much time sorting out the live setup, troubleshooting and…

Opening for Imogen Heap
I knew for a while there was the chance I might get to support Imogen Heap at her Berlin gig, but the date drew nearer and nearer and nothing happened. Then suddenly on Monday I got…

Gigs gigs gigs
I’ll be playing quite a few concerts in the next months. Make sure to drop by some time. You might miss out of something pretty good, you know. Here are the dates: May 5 …

Gig on Valentine’s Day
I’ll be playing a gig tomorrow night at the Astrobar at Simon-Dach-Straße in Friedrichshain, Berlin. Show starts at 9 p.m. It’d be nice to see you there. I’ll even bring my array mbira and play you…

Gig tomorrow night @ Mastul, Berlin
Sorry for not updating again. Been mostly busy rehearsing. I even found a cellist who’s gonna play with me tomorrow night (July 5). It’s gonna be a great show. The first time that I can…

Live life live
Really been slacking off with the blog writing business. So this might be a long one. The gig at Schokoladen went okay. I was pretty nervous, still got a lot of stage fright which will…

I don’t like Mondays… and computers
Been busy trying to rearrange some of my new songs so I can play them live. I wasn’t expecting it to take soooo long, but it does. Ran into some problems today when I realised…

Building blocks
Thursday was the – for now – last day I worked on ‘The Tide’. I wrote some more bits for the string arrangement and added a great middle 8 that adds perfectly to the dramatic…

Blooms & Starrrs
More preparations for the gig with Bobby Starrr. Built some more ‘instruments’ so I can play stuff live on my Mac/keyboard and won’t only trigger everything. That’d be a bit boring. Made nice broken beats…

Cold
I’ve got a cold. On monday there was this woman sitting beside me and constantly coughing in my direction. And I thought to myself, it’s all good and well that she likes sharing, but does…

Gigs and changes of heart
Had a bit of an undecisive day yesterday when I had no clue if the arrangement for ‘Hearts first’ was any good, especially the beats. So I didn’t make all that much progress – adding…

Smoke and fire
Today was a strange day. I’ve been heating my place with a coal-burning stove, because it’s cheaper and quite cosy and warm. Last saturday when it was so stormy the smoke started seeping out and…

One more done… yay!
It’s done. ‘Webs’ is finished apart from the vocals and the final mix – as usual. It took longer than I had hoped, but I think it’d be stupid to start doing things half-heartedly now.…

Low pressure area
The gig on Saturday (or should I say Sunday since I played way past midnight) went quite well. I played four songs and people even asked for an encore. What a bizarre night! Unfortunately I…

Leap, no leap
Today has been strictly rehearsing. I thought about bringing full gear to the little gig tomorrow, but decided against it. There’s a piano there and I’ll bring my looper. Pretty low-key. All four songs in…

The next chapter
Yesterday there was no music making at all. This dreaded song was doing my head in so much so that even when I tried my mind just went blank. And just to avoid having to…
