hi everyone,
welcome to the newly redesigned blastcorp website.
so much has hapenned over the last month, mostly revolving around a relocation to osaka, japan.
its something else here, im gonna be trying to get my head around it for a while yet.

im gonna have some down time here in which im concentrating on writing some software for my monome contoller, to make the live show way better.

now, go have a look around the website. theres a very thorough links section, some nice art, wallpapers to download, a music player which lets you stream lots of blastcorp tracks, a shop for cashing me up, a look at my music software creations and more. happy exploring!

oh yeah, im really big here….

hi, blastcorp.com is currently getting an overhaul. should be ready in a few weeks. expect a nice music player, a shopping cart, new pix, sections, everything. adrian from contra science is doing it.

also working on a film soundtrack at the moment, then doing more production on my other bands new album. yes, red plum and snow have recorded an album, but it still needs a lot more work.

im doing a remix of the aviators, my favourite high school alt rockers for their new album out on feb 16th 08.

then im packing and moving to japan for a year.

well, the album launch was a musical success. it looked very beautiful, sounded nice too. its all too much to explain. ill post some photos when i get hold of them.
its way too hot here at the moment. losing my mind.

‘hearts blast graves’ is a 12 track split album of delicate acoustic indie lovesongs. packaged in handmade felt pouches, featuring blastcorp, the bionic hearts and genevieve graves.
$5 entry or $20 with a cd.
yep, the new album is finally ready. gemma and i are playing a bunch of songs together, including the genevieve graves songs on the album. decorating the venue for full lushness too. a night not to miss.

hearts blast graves album launch!
my new split album with gemma and mel is pretty much ready to go. the launch is on december 1st at happy yess in darwin.
blastcorp and the bionic hearts are both playing acoustically, with special guests the aviators (fronted by mel’s sister shana). should be heaps of fun. currently in production making the limited edition felt pouches the CDs wil come in.

remember:
blastcorp=me
the bionic hearts =gemma myspace.com/thebionichearts
genevive graves=mel myspace.com/genevievegraves

in other technical news, ive pretty much got my head around nitrotracker, a tracker program for my nintendo ds. its really fun to be able to have a sampler with built in mic and a sequencer in your pocket in case you need to make music…

also getting a monome two fifty six. what, you say? a magic box that actually lets you PLAY the laptop, not just press the odd button here and there? crazy. well you better go and check out www.monome.org/series and it will all make sense. this is very beautiful.

cake break CD launch was last night featuring 9 of darwins freshest bands, all of whom hapen to be in my rocknroll high school class. a huge night, a great success indeed! you rock: moses, the aviators, crimz on ice, the silent empire, fighting amongst angels, sabretooth, me clancy and judith, and lauren.
now dont ever stop ok!

made it half way around the country and back. gigs were fun. people were inspiring. had a very nice time. got to test out some new tracks on the punters which was good. still feel a little bit sleepy though!
best gigs were the most intimate of course. played a nice acoustic set with gemma of bionic hearts fame in someones garage in canberra. was fun.

writing more stuff in my studio, with electronics. the hearts blast graves album is mastered and sounds very nice. release details soon. theres one song from it on my myspace at the moment ,called a million reasons why.

currently mastering my split album with the bionic hearts and genevieve graves.
getting closer to a release. probably november id say….
