Above is some footage of me in the studio from when I was finishing off some recording.

I don’t know why I decided to film on a day when my hair was so raggedy and with no makeup on. Perhaps it’s an irreverent middle finger to an industry that is so overly sexualised? (Edit: Nah… just laziness.)

Oh well, I’m sure you forgive me more than I forgive myself…. And due to the **highly** educational value of this clip, up it goes!

It’s quite nice to unveil some of the layers that go in to recording a track as a whole. As you can probably hear, I’m ‘into’ the sound of my voice multiplied. It became somewhat of an addiction whilst I was recording.

Don’t worry, no one was harmed in the process…

Well well, I’m in the process of readying myself for my return to the live circuit with a special birthday gig in July!

This is going to be my first full show in ages, so I’m looking forward to singing the old, the new… and the undiscovered too!

Full details are after the jump…

Yes, I’ve been back in the studio!

To celebrate I took some very poor, horrifically lo-fi photos. ( But I hear it’s cool to be lo-fi these days? )

You probably can’t tell from the pics, but I was having one of those soul-warming days where having fun magically combined with being productive. Exciting!
