Episode 09 of At-The-Helm is now available..

and obviously not a moment too soon for the likes of me. This show is the first in the series to feature music used for media purposes. Tracks for computer animation and film are featured and include:

1- The Digital Sea

2- Beat The Heat

3-Images

4-Elbows 2

5- Elbows Outro

This is another all solo outing featuring me on synthesizer, drum machine, guitar and effects. The recordings date from 1984-1989. I’ll try to locate some active links that feature some of these works for viewing online. Meanwhile thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy this new program of material.  Here is another alpine outing photo for your amusement and be advised the Dozey Lumps are on their way in Show #10…..scheduled for recording this weekend so please stay tuned….more soon. 

 

Hoping for Autumn………

but it still feels like summer. My apologies for the non appearance of Episode #9  of At-The-Helm last month, please rest assured it is coming very soon, along with some other good stuff I’ve been working on. Also working on the closing theme to Ian’s new short film “Omegastop” which he’s editing again now. So lots more soon.  in the meantime a photo from last Friday’s outing to the antique farm equipment show. Have a good holiday folks!

 

Possibly Film Music?

Well it could be, we’ll see…maybe. Meanwhile this little piece from 1998 called “No Jah In Sight” is available for a listen.

It’s a live in studio looped drumbox and synthesizer track excerpted here for possible use in the new short film “Omegastop” by Ian Helm.

 

A couple of very windy days

After a morning of surveying the debris field left from the strong winds of the past two days I’m happy to report no damage to any structures on properties I do landscaping work for. Any flimsy tree limbs are however now down for the count and headed for a roundup by the likes of me.

On the music front work continues on the score for Ian’s newest short film, final editing begins soon I’m told. As to the At-The-Helm podcast series, hopefully you’ve had a chance to listen in on show#5. Looking to post #6 midmonth here, which is where we’ll begin a look at a nine year period of work in southern California from 1986-1995. Solo, duet and trio configurations will be heard with acoustic and electric instruments and a growing amount of looping used amongst it all. We may also speak with old musical friends in lands far away about those days of yore in shows to come , so do please give it a listen and as always I welcome your comments. Have a good day!  

 

Work continues on all fronts

Greetings. Over the weekend managed to re-record Episode #4 and also put #5 in the can.

Should be set for the next few weeks, thanks again to Glenn.

Also continuing to assemble material for the film score I’m working on, a lot left to do there still.

Looking to put Episode #4 up a week from tomorrow, please stay tuned.
