New looper, many new buttons, many nice gigs
Had some lovely gigs in Bochum, Leipzig, Antwerp and hometown of Sheffield over the past month. Thanks to everyone who came along. Hope you enjoyed the new Sieben sound, looper and multitude of new buttons which I have to press. Tap dancing is next on the agenda, I reckon, with all those new pedals and knobs!
Have mastered my next release, which is the Lietuva EP, two rather weighty ten-minute tracks, Black Moon Rise Aagain, and On the Other Side Of River. Redroom 013 will Redroom’s first digital-only release. Apologies in advance to those of you who prefer the physical. Having put all my redroom stock together in one place, around the edges of Redroom recording studio, I’ve decided that I won’t be doing a physical release again until I can see my windows once more! 😉 I may opt for a series of EPs, as I’m enjoying expanding the songs into lengthier pieces, it gives more time for the loops, the layers, the detail. After that it could be that I compile them into a physical release of a CD; and possibly vinyl if someone comes along and offers to make the vinyl.
Concerts in the near future include Furth and Berlin (DE), and Northern France with old chums Rosa Crux – details of that to be added to my site soon.
