I wish I’d known about this when I wrote the last one…

23 Apr

Had I known when I was diligently writing a review of Andrew Fagan’s book Swirly World (see last post, four days ago) that he in turn had mentioned me (or my music at least) in this month’s New Zealand Musicians Magazine I so would have mentioned it. So so (but not “so so”. Eh what?)

Here’s the interview, and if you scroll down – down – down – right down to the bottom he mentions his favourite songs. And amongst them is ‘River Song’ (actually called ‘River Calls Me Now’, but who’s complaining?), which I wrote and recorded with Darryn Paterson-Harkness on the very night that we met, and which was later released as a track on a New Telepathic’s album.

Here’s the song in video form.

(And I’m quietly pretty chuffed, by the way.)

Flotsam and Jetsam

28 Nov

These past couple of weeks I’ve had the privilege of creating a music video for this beautiful song, by Sarah Macombee.

Filmed at Karekare, North Piha, and Laingholm’s little beach, we were buffeted by the wind, showered by rain – but the dolls didn’t complain, so neither did we.

And it was nothing that a cocktail coudn’t fix, after a few hours holding up a camera, bracing myself against the bluster.
