Ah with all the promoting “stuff” yesterday i forgot to report my first two music commissions! I’ve been writing music for quite a few years now, and this is the first time i’ve been commissioned to produce something from scratch at least!

So the first was a meeting with Anne Marie to discuss producing an original track for a festival dvd, which would be aimed at Wolverhampton Council, and a Black Country Partnership, and was to give the dvd a bit of a lift, with a carnival esqu feel.

And the second was from Lucy Nicholls who is a dancer and choreographer, and Liam Blendstate who is a visual artist, and is for a piece for the New Arts Festival entitled Finished with the War. Again its a full track, but this one is going to be to provide the soundtrack to a dance on film piece to be performed at the New Vibes showcase.

The feel will be based on a poem by Sigfried Sassoon, and i will start by gathering some sounds either recorded or otherwise, based on the atomosphere we are trying to create.

Right i’m off to find my binaurul micrphones!

Oh and on the Project X venue front, Peckers was great, but unfortunatly too small. We may have another option in the Que club, so more news as it breaks. The actual show by the way looks immense, and is ready to go…if we can find anywhere to actually do it!
