Bungay Bash - Electronic Music and beer Festival update.

Full details about the Bungay Bash electronic music and beer festival are now posted on the AD Music website concert page and the AD Music blog pages. Tickets should be sent out soon to all those who have already ordered - there was apparently a delay at the Theatre getting them printed. We're all getting quite exited about it, although a lot of work still to be done. Code Indigo rehearsals start 16th May, while Callisto and solo rehearsals have already commenced.

I'll probably feature new music from "In Search of Silence" plus some old favorites from my space music catalogue on my set. We're putting a lot of emphasis and work into the lighting and graphics backdrops too. We hope to have two separate projectors with graphics on stage and on one side wall, so should be interesting.

The event is being filmed for DVD releases later in the year to fulfill a long outstanding ambition to get DVDs released for Code Indigo, Callisto, Geigertek and Me. The DVDs will feature some of the stunning high quality stage graphics we've used over the years along with concert footage and maybe even some interviews. AD Music is looking to release these towards the end of the year.

Thanks and New Music

Many thanks to all the well wishers who have contacted me recently, either via email or facebook, myspace, twitter etc concerned about my health. I'm "Okay", but I do have to go to hospital this week for tests and scans to find out what the problem is. So hopefully, in the next week or so, the Doctors will know how to solve the problem.

In the meantime, I'm actually getting on with new space music quite well, with half the new album "In search of Silence" completed. I think it's different to recent releases, probably more in line with "Walking with Ghosts" than anything I've done since that album, because the songs are much more structured. Also, I think there's a Vangelis feel in parts - not sure how that came about, it just did. But I'm very pleased with it musically so far. I'm hoping to have the album ready for the Bungay Bash.

I'm also working on a sci fi book soundtrack, written by Matt Howarth, which is in its early stages (the space music that is - the book is basically complete). The book will be on the CD as an ebook with the music. I'm hoping this will be released towards the end of the year. Not sure about the title yet......

Another project I'm working on is under the name "Trinity", a new age project of relaxation style space music. I'm working with Neil Fellowes and Nigel Tuner-Heffer on this one and we're hoping the CD will be released in 2-3 months.

More news to follow........

Callisto for Bungay Bash

So the Bungay Bash moves ever closer............and today we decided that we would also perform a Callisto space music set to open the evening proceedings. Seems logical as Neil and I are there and we also want to get some live film for the Callisto DVD - yes, there will finally be a Callisto DVD, and a Code Indigo DVD and a David Wright DVD. Well, assuming all goes well with the filming at The Bungay Bash that is!! Seems quite strange to be performing as three separate space music acts, although I guess you can't call Code Indigo space music, more instrumental rock I suppose. So, performing three very different styles of instrumental music, but it should be fun. Full details can be found on the AD Instrumental Music website concert page and tickets are a very reasonable £10:75 plus postage for an all day event, can't be bad, eh?!
