7 Years in the Making

Hey there

I've got some exciting news! I've finally at long last completed the final song for my second album of electronic music. Given that I wrote the first song approximately 7 years ago, it has been a long time coming.

The new CD is called "Escape" and I'll be "releasing" it under the pseudonym "DJ Entrippy" as with my previous release "Scale" (2000). By releasing, I mean I'll be making a few dozen copies and distributing to friends and contacts, and maybe the odd music store or radio depending on opportunities.

I'm very excited to tell you a little about the album. Here are a few fun facts:

- the track I just finished appears first on the album, while the track I wrote first, seven years ago, appears last
- I've been playing around with a mixing program to make the tracks fade into one another to produce a smooth result
- the title track "Escape" is in two parts, and I have perfomed it live (when I was in Canberra)

- the work of my lovely wife Rachel appears on the album (courtesy of herself)

- the tracks use one of three different synths, from Roland, Yamaha and Propellorhead with different sounds
- there is a hidden track

I'm working on the album artwork, and on final mastering now. I'll be posting some of the artwork here when it's ready. With a little luck, I can finish this baby off before I have to pack up all my gear and ship it back to Australia - that will take a minor miracle, but I'm determined to do it!

More soon, so stay tuned!
