I've finally taken the plunge and got my own domain name....yes,
www.mistrustmusic.co.uk is finally mine!
No more blackburnt.portland.co.uk?
The site is still in use, but I'm moving all my up-to-date stuff over to Wordpress.com, and using their blogs to manage my site.
Blackburnt.portland.co.uk/blog/blogger.htm is still going to be in use, but just for blog archives only.
Please update your links and bookmarks to find me at:
www.mistrustmusic.co.uk
The reason for moving....
blogger.com is becoming a bit of a pain and not flexible enough for what I need. Also, I'm running out of server space and bandwidth for all my posts. Bye-bye blogger, hello Wordpress......
New Year - New mistrust tracks
|
If you've read the bit about what I did over Christmas, you'll see that there are quite a few exciting things ahead. I'm now trying to sort out a couple of tracks for "Outline" to use with the female vocalist they're working with. They want something similar to the Beth Orton/Chemical Brothers folky electronica collaboration, or the Massive Attack dubby trip-hop stuff. I'm in Bolton, Outline are up the road from me, and the vocalist is in Liverpool. An interesting collaboration unfolds....
Some of the tracks I've dug out from the "unfinished" folder on my home PC actually sound "finished" or don't seem to need much work doing on them, so expect some up on myspace and the rest soon, although I think I'm going to try Tunetribe to sell downloads for 70p per track and physical CDs for a few quid for a 4-track EP, especially if I can do some gigs to promote them.
A lot of the "unfinished" tracks are no more than 1 or 2 minutes long - ideal for music cues for film, tv, etc., which is just as well, because they sound like film cues....I'm determined to do a CD made up entirely of such cues I've got hanging around. Not many film music libraries around, but hopefully I can find one who'll have me!
By the way, any electronica or chillout/downtempo labels reading this who are after new artists, or music libraries wanting new music, please let me know - sign me!!!!

What mistrust did at Christmas 2006
Happy New Year to all my readers and subscribers! Apologies for not posting over the last few weeks. Very busy with family commitments - I've got 3 young kids who were Christmas-mad as ever. I managed to sneak onto the computer some of the time to get some music done, but not as much as I'd have liked to....
So here's what you missed....
"Croydon Library" and other mistrust tracks at Indiestore
"Outline" on myspace
"mistrust" on myspace

O'Neill Europe
So here's what you missed....
- My nephew's band "Outline" have asked if they can use some of my tracks for a project they're working on with a female vocalist - something along the lines of Massive Attack or the Beth Orton/Chemical Brothers collaboration. I've got quite a few things they can use, so watch this space. "Outline" is 3 blokes who usually play stuff similar to Queens of the Stone Age, and are getting a lot of interest in the indie scene in the UK. They've done a lot of gigs, especially in the North West (UK).
- The bloke who got my tracks onto O'Neill's surfing DVDs (Deep Blue Open 2005 and Anglet Pro) is back on the scene and wants to use some more of my stuff for another O'Neill project. More news when I get it...
- A few people have been in touch, saying they've heard my tracks on the O'Neill Europe website. The whole of the Deep Blue Open 2005 film (25 minutes) is available for download as an iPod video (M4v format). "Never Alone (remix)", "Croydon Library" and "Hello" are all featured (about 12 minutes out of 25). "Croydon Library" is also on the video interview with Trent Munroe (world champion surfer). If you want to see the clips, go to the O'Neill Europe site and follow the "Team O'Neill" link.
- I've gone through all my unfinished tracks and ideas that I've got on my PC at home (actually, 2 PCs and a laptop), ready to get some tracks online and maybe get a proper EP out. I was quite surprised about how little work some of them need. Most of them seem quite "soundtracky" and would probably make good film and tv cues.
- Helped my stepson Paul get another track on myspace and MP3.com
- Put up the original version of "Never Alone" on myspace.
