Sodastream for everyone

16 February 2012

Does anyone else have a Soda Stream?  I think they are amazing, and definitely a must have for summer.  Not that Wellington has seen much of a summer, but I think free Soda at home is great.  Don't bother with the flavouring unless you get the Ginger Beer one.  No one likes fake or cheap tasting Coca Cola.  I love revisiting things from childhood...Especially movies...

A Rare Glimpse

08 February 2012

Hi! I have been a bit slack on here this week, due to FOOD POISONING. I went out for dinner on Saturday evening, and fell sick the next day with campylobacter! Not cool at all. It's a funny thing when you pay someone to be sick for a week...Worst $20 spent in 2012 so far. 

Oblique Strategies

Currently trying to think of ways to design a iphone/ android app that makes it really easy for songwriters to sketch out ideas.  I know how annoying it can be at times when you get bursts of inspiration, or a great loop, or hook springs to mind, but you need to setup and connect your home studio together to get the idea down.

BDO
STUDIO
Previous Pause Next

Just got returned from a fantastic week in Auckland.  I did my first Bfm live session at Roundhead studios last week, and that was cool.  I'm in love with that studio, thats my goal, to have  my own studio like that to work in oneday..All I need to do is write a 'Don't Dream It's Over'. That's pretty easy, right? Really good pop music is the hardest genre of music to write I think..?

I'm sad that Big Day Out will be no more in New Zealand, but I am also happy to be playing at the last one!  Excited about Friday, it will be a great day I'm sure, a celebration of the festival too!  Come check out Junica, 11:30am Green Stage!

2012 excitement

07 January 2012

Happy New year to all!  I hope everyone has had a great start to the year so far, and all managed to get away somehwere and have a break from routine! I've been enjoying a wee break from music the last few weeks, but have got back into today, rehearsing a set for Big Day Out, and mastering my solo ambient/ soundtrack album 'Night Music'.
