Sadly, due to the huge level of SPAM that websites receive these days I have had to add a CAPTCHA! system to my blog. I was being inundated with articles/users related to selling jewelry fr0m automated systems and it was becoming almost impossible to manage. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but it will lead to the site running more efficiently in the future.  »View More

Today I am pleased to announce that I have released a new piece of instrumental music to the public. The inspiration for the track came from Jean-Michel Jarre’s Revolution track and I am using a vocoder for the first time ever (Which was fun I didn’t have time to render a video for this track, but for the next one there will be one and in the future I may create one for this one too Christopher J.

I have to say I was absolutely appalled by ASTRO during his survival performance on The X FACTOR USA last night.  He was arrogant and a smart ass – where is his dignity in defeat? Some people are saying he’s only a young teenager but that doesn’t give anyone an excuse to act as though the world owes them something, you go on these talent shows expecting to be eliminated and if you aren’t it’s an HONOR that the public want you to stay. He took to Twitter shortly after blaming “Politics”... 

Today I am pleased to announce that I have released a remastered piece of instrumental music to the public. The original track was released on my youtube channel over a year ago and I was never happy with the encoding sound quality of the original. The inspiration for the track came from Jean-Michel Jarre and Sash! and it is more upbeat / dance. To go with my remastered track I have also released a new video to accompany it which I created over a 2 day period, including creating, animating, rendering... 

Today I am pleased to announce that I have released a new piece of instrumental music to the public. The inspiration for the track came from Jean-Michel Jarre’s album Waiting for Cousteau, though rather than being a relaxing track it is a little more tense. The piece of music is 6:35 in length and also contains my new logo which will be appearing on all my releases from now on. I will shortly be replacing my current youtube videos with better quality ones, including my branding at the start... 

It amazes me how many intelligent people there are in the world and yet they are blinkered by a political bias. Earlier today I posted the following as a test to see the reaction on my Facebook account: “Finds it sad but very telling that the Democrats demonize the Tea Party and make all sorts of accusations about them but they SUPPORT Occupy Wall Street where there have been countless arrests and far more hypocrisy than the Tea Party. Mind you, it wouldn’t surprise me if the DEMS were... 

For many years I had been suffering from depression, I would go to different doctors and they would all tell me I am depressed and send me on my way.  I knew something more was going on but I didn’t know what. Several years ago however things go really bad, I got into a really bad depression, didn’t act like myself and my wife and family didn’t know who I was – and *I* didn’t know who I was.  So after several attempts at ending things I sought more help. Recently... 

only Fools and Horses – YouTube One of my favourite british comedies of all time.  Delboy and Rodney are just classic characters and the grandad, uncle albert and raquel and cassandra are the perfect match for these couple of plonkers  »View More

Now that FL STUDIO 10 has been released I wanted to give a little information on what is new as well as on FL STUDIO itself for those new to the software.  This is not meant to be a comprehensive review but more of a teaser with a few of my thoughts thrown in a long the way for good measure Clicking on an image will enlarge it. To the right is an image of a project I am working on showing some of the new features of FL STUDIO 2010.  The extra wide mixer really makes a difference on larger... 

Updated 12/16/2011. Today filming before a live studio audience began in the United Kingdom. If you are a huge fan of the cult British comedy Red Dwarf like I am, you’ll be ecstatic to read this article about Craig Charles letting it slip that a new series is in fact in development. The last time we saw the boys (And girl) from the Dwarf was in the 3 part Back to Earth. Details are sketchy right now but I for one am very excited at the prospect of a new Dwarf  »View More
