Olympic Logo

You know the controvertial logo for the 2012 olympics that everyone hates? I quite like it.

Halt

Nothing much to report this week because I've been in Ibiza and unable to work on new stuff. The 5 days away has given me time to think about where things are going with osymyso, I have to admit to some degree of concern about the viability of doing a full time job that pays less than minimum wage but then I always have this belief that it won't always be so bad. I love making stupid noises so much that it will take a monumental bout of poverty to force me to throw the towel in but I am reaching the point where something is likely to give. The shiny new idea I was working on sounds great but will have to go on hold as I enter into a period of emergency measures to prevent the demise of osymyso. I'm sure things will work out, I've been in this situation many times before and something always comes along. Perhaps it's time to go for the big cash in, the maga hit, international stardom and a sell out world tour. Yeah, I'll do that.

Momentum.

I'm beavering away at a furious rate at the moment, there's plenty of stuff on the go but nothing I can report right here right now. I feel the need to say something just to assure all 3 of the people who visit this blog that I haven't gone underground again.

In the past two weeks since the last blog I've put some final touches to the Winterkids remix I was talking about and sent that to someone out there in the real world to be mastered so hopefully it will get used and you can all rush out and buy it. I've been through my folder of demo's and picked out the most promising with a view to getting an album together and then binned anything I didn't feel I could develop any further. I spent a few days working on these tracks, trying to gauge if they make sense together as an album. I have quite a nice chunk of it done now, what I really need now is a couple of killer tunes, irresistibly catchy radio friendly tracks. Easier said than done.

This week I did some more bits for the Radio 4 sitcom "Fabulous" which included a cheesy cover of the Dallas theme tune and a slightly odd version of the "Wedding March". I also spent a couple of days on a shiny new idea that may or may not materialise on my website next week. I'm going to test the idea out and if it works then there will be a pretty cool regular feature on the osymyso website. I'm past making empty promises so don't hold your breath.

I want to have a picture with every post on this blog and I couldn't think of anything relavent so here's a picture I took at Yo Sushi down Tottenham Court Road on my phone camera.
