New Exitproject track – Daylight

Exitproject (the band I regularly work with) is writing and recording one song per month in 2010.  The February song has just been let out of the pen – check it out if you get the chance.

The most productive day of all time. Now I’m hyper.

Yesterday was the most Productive. Day. Ever.  I was in the studio and ready to go by just after 9.  So began the sessions!
Session 1 – rock
I started with a epic-rock type track (that’ll wake you up).  Usually people send across a scratch vocal track that I learn by ear, then I arrange the harmonies [...]

Back into the studio – at last! Happiness!

Having a sore throat when session vocal work is lined up is bad news.  But all cash-earning aside, it’s just down-right bad for morale.  I’m lucky that I don’t get sore throats often, I’m more a sinus infection kind of girl (aren’t you glad you know that now?).  But it makes it obvious that I [...]

Holy crazy, I'm on a Ministry of Sound release

Holy crazy, I’m on a Ministry of Sound release

I tweeted about this awhile ago, but I thought I’d write a mini blog about the details.  I don’t know HOW I missed this while it was happening, but I’m still pretty fired up about it…
One of the dance tracks I wrote and recorded the vocals for has landed a spot on a Minstry of [...]

The joys of non-disclosure agreements

There’s some good news on the horizon!  One of the tracks I did many many moons ago might be released soon…  it’s most exciting, if I may say so.  I wrote and recorded all the vocals for a track by an Irish DJ who’s rapidly making his merry way in the dance world.
It’s one of [...]

Sore throat is bad for business

So I’ve been fighting a kind of sore throat since the weekend. It’s been just bad enough that I haven’t been able to do any ‘real’ singing – but just NOT bad enough that I still went a rehearsal last night in hopes that I could… what exactly? I have no idea. [...]

More musical flavour, fewer calories

2010 is the year of the musician!  Well, for me, at least – and I’m freakin’ LOVING every minute of it…
It occurred to me that I don’t usually blog about what I’m involved in, so I thought I’d take up the habit of blogging about all my musical shenanigans.  That way my ‘thousands of fans’ (aka – [...]

One song per month in 2010

Exitproject (the band I’m in with the Ninja Butler) have decided to write and record one song a month in 2010.  We’ll then release the whole she-band as an album with snazzy artwork and pictures

An octave mandola, an expat and a laptop walk into a bar…

When I married the Ninja Butler in 2005, my Mom and Dad gave us a guitar and an “_blank” href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_mandola”>octave mandola that they made for us.  My Mom did mountains of research to source materials and my Dad worked the wood.  It
goes without saying that my jaw hit the floor when I laid eyes [...]
