July 2nd, 2010The Cave Co-operative specialise in Sustainable Architecture. They came up with some nice design ideas for the site such as a general style guide for the colour and typography and prepared most of the main images themselves. I helped them with the overal layout, coding the site and putting all our ideas together.

It’s a nice project to work on as the site will slowly evolve as they add new content to it. This is something we have already planned for so the existing layout has been designed to be flexible enough to adapt to these changes as and when required.

Free sugardrum EPs to download
May 14th, 2010
I’ve got a new EP coming out on iTunes, amazon and about a dozen other sites next Friday called ‘Where Once Were Roads”. It takes about 6 -8 weeks to get your music on these sites and fortunately I had just enough time to get everything ready before I went away to India. Unfortunately I ran out of time to send off any promo CDs, do some kind of gig launching the EP or do pretty much anything to promote the EPs arrival into the big wide world of downloadables.
What I have did time to do though is get my previous 2 EPs available as a FREE DOWNLOAD from the lovely Pondlife Studios website.

here’s a quote from a review losingtoday.com did about them:
…this church like beauty equipped with hushed vocals and the lull of watery guitars is a gorgeously laid back life affirming pop portrait that emerges from its initial fog bound haze into a quietly majestic and measured aching love note. ’Absence of friends’ the title track is without doubt the jewel in the crown, flighty pastoral florets, vocals a la Tim Buckley and a stately fragile persona make this a touching gem in the making, the shy eyed undulating craftsmanship giving way to the sumptuous moments of flowering vibrancy of the beautifully conceived bouquets of Nick Drake like thoughtfulness
Transition Towns
May 10th, 2010I recently went to the launch party for my local Transition Town movement. I’d heard the term, Transition Town being used for a while as one of my housemates is an architect involved with this, but I had no idea what it was all about apart from knowing that it’s something eco friendly and generally groovy.
According to their website, Transition Towns is all about…
a community-led response to the pressures of climate change, fossil fuel depletion and increasingly, economic contraction
So I was right, it is about something eco friendly and groovy. There were all sorts of different ideas being presented at the launch party, among them, sustainable architecture, a food co-op selling locally grown produce, how to make your garden more wildlife friendly and bee keeping.
I didn’t get a chance to speak to the bee keeper but I hope these new bee keepers are being taught how to keep their bees ethically – i.e. to encourage the bees to produce a surplus of honey so the bees aren’t left just feeding on the sugared water that some bee keepers leave them after taking their winter food.

New Site
April 18th, 2010After many long hours of designing and coding I’ve just finished redesigning this website.
There’s still a few things I want to change and tidy up, including a few oddities that are occurring in Internet Explorer but it’s the weekend, it’s a lovely day outside, and I want to go out and play in the sunshine!
