So Charlie Crow.... Anyone who knows anything
about my musical background
will know of my love of Jazz. My greatest influence is Herbie Hancock and
I know
the music that has moved me and influenced me the most over the years has
been
Jazz. This side project is as my label puts it is their worst nightmare hahah.....
But its not straight Jazz in any sense,
it's electronic, it's a combination of a lot of
things and as much as anything it's inspired by our
friend Charlie Crow who
visits us in our garden and demands his peanut butter sandwhiches that Erin
makes for him... You can see him here....
The basis of the instrumentation
is my old Fender piano, Ivory, BFD drums, my Moog
and Erin on trumpet. Its pretty organic and simple and it just allows me
to
express those jazzy kind of ideas that aren't relevant in my main music project.
I hope you like it and if you have never listened to anything remotely jazzy
maybe
this can be a door for you to explore the things that have inspired me so
much
over the years.
So finally it's set for release initially
only on iTunes from September 1st and in
a very limited edition CDR. Whats the point in my pressing a 1000 cds just
to have them sit in boxes under my studio couch with all the others haha
So if you would like a CDR I will burn you one myself and put some pictures
together or something anyway it will be nice.
Well the CDr is ready and you can order it using the Paypal button below,
Ill
ship them before the end of the week. I'm making at most 250,
they are all burnt
on my studio computer from the original master files so no
loss of quality and
as close as you can get to being there while I'm making it.
I really think this is the future for distributing music to the people who really
want it, this and iTunes. They are £7.50 each including p&p.
I feel really good about this, its very personal music and it's a very personal
way of making it available I hope you agree and enjoy it......
The first batch of EPs has sold out but there will be another
in
early October so if you missed out this time don't worry!
Thanks to everyone
who bought one I am truly overwhelmed...
OK they are back and available now,
click the buy now button if you want
