Title: My new blog
Post by: TBE on July 06, 2009, 12:38:49 PM
It seems everything is changing.

I have redesigned my blog and I will be updating it regularly. It has been redesigned to cover my music teaching at kidderminster college and the many projects and events surrounding the course there.

There is a short video up there too (which features yours truly playing a blast beat)

I hope to discuss certain musical, aesthetic and educational points there. It's interesting how the current recession is affecting these things. This summer we ran a series of workshops and our own Robin B delivered an excellent masterclass on computer game music.

I really am enjoying it here and I am looking forward to sharing the madness with you here.

all the best

Andy

Masterclass in computer game music.. Sounds brilliant! There's a lot of great stuff to explore there.

Dear Mr TBE - after showing my wife a clip of you recording drums with Frost, she now thinks your "hot".

Hmmm....

....I'll still be following your blog anyway, but please try and keep your alleged "hotness" in check.

Thanks  :lol:

Heh.
I reckon that splat in your header is the very same one that keeps appearing in The Mighty Bash.  
I've been trying to make my cymbals do that, but to no avail.

I'm off to read and watch....

I wonder what technique Andy is using in that Pocket Sun video at the end...?

Can't really tell in the low framerate of the YouTube video at all.

Me, I've been practising my heel-toe technique after not using it for yonks (and not having drummed in yonks either), I'm getting there slowly:
