Hang Drum – Instrument of the 20th Century
Written on March 21, 2012 at 10:43 am | No Comments |
The Hang Drum or Flying Saucer as I like to call it is apparently one of only 2 musical instruments to be invented since the turn of the 20th Century. They are all made in a workshop in Berne, Switzerland and they sound awesome. Manu Delago seems to be to Hang Drums what Pino Palladino is to bass guitar. Here is the man … and drum in action.

There is no music that gets me going like funk music! When that rhythm section kicks in I just gots to move. It’s infectious. A friend, DJ and dance adversary Jim Sharpe sent me through a mix tape with a taste of the funk and soul weekly that is dropped on the Saturday sessions of The Paradise (www.theparadise.co.uk) on Kilburn Lane, Kensal Green, so I thought I’d share it.
Great for cutting rug to and great background music whilst you work. Enjoy!
The Adventure Begins
Written on February 26, 2012 at 8:49 pm | No Comments |
On the 23rd Feb 2012 at 10pm on Channel 4, the documentary ‘Strictly Baby Disco’ aired. The reason this is of note is because I composed the music. As a media music composer this was the most challenging job so far but incredibly rewarding. A massive thank you to Emily, Leon and the Boundless team.
The music is not be confused with my usual acoustic musings as there wasn’t a guitar in sight. The brief was to create a simple and fairytale feel to the story which follows four girls on the run up to Disco Kid 2011 which is the pinnacle of the Freestyle Disco Dancing calendar. The music was primarily classical string arrangements but with some more contemporary styles too. I’ll be posting all of the songs here over the coming week or so but first up is ‘The Adventure Begins.’
