I started a blog for music recently, an extension of my music column and Twitter account.
Put simply, I needed a place I could post more about music, particularly interviews, reviews and photos. Interrobang is on hiatus through the summer, and OurLondon got overtaken by London Community News. My own music isn’t going anywhere at the moment, so why not check it out?
Visit bobbyisms.com for news, video and audio, interviews and much, much more. And why not follow while you’re there?
So by a twist of fate, I recently met a local London artist named Ryan McNevin, a keyboardist and songwriter that has performed in a number of bands nearby. Through talking to Ryan, I’ve learned that lately he’s just been producing a lot of different music, potentially for sale to artists on the market.
Looking at his site, I’m impressed with his studio setup. I’m hoping that through some sort of exchange in services, he might be willing to humour me to help get some pieces figured out and recorded.
However, if I’m ever going to be so lucky, I’m going to have to build up some karma — I don’t really have much to offer, so I’m open to advice: what can I for Ryan in exchange for such a favour? I hope he needs some graphic design work done…
I’ve recently cut open a finger on my left hand, and I’m sadly forced not to play guitar for a little while.
Greg and I have had several interesting jams to date, with a couple of very eclectic musicians. My brother Mikey is still very much in the mix as well, as he and I recently challenged ourselves to write a piece of classical music to be performed entirely on electric guitar.
Also I find myself trying hard to sort through the riffs and pieces in my head, as though they keep evolving long before I have a chance to lock them down, but that’s life, I suppose.
Figured it was about time for the semi-annual update. Back to wishing I could play guitar…
Not that I expect anyone is reading this, but the patience inherent in sticking around between posts is considerable, and impressive.
Greg, Mikey, and I are all still writing, and taking on many projects. I am learning to use the software on my new Mac to do mixes, there are no more excuses.
Here’s to the prospect of musical content. Cheers.
