The Lost Cavalry's Diary

27/12/08 : Happy Christmas!

For the first time ever I went to midnight mass this year - not because I'm religious (I'm not) but because my friend was playing the church organ. It's an amazing beast of an organ, the size of an upturned car - it even has rear-view mirrors - seriously! Great pastel-blue pipes shoot up from the keyboards 15 feet or so into the air. The best part is that my friend has said I can have a play on it some time... can't wait... but first I need to write a nice piece to play on it... hmmm.

21/12/08 : Fanfarlo: Goodnight...

I never really knew what bands meant when they said 'musical differences' but I do now - it's differences of taste that you only notice when you work really closely together. Not even causing arguments really, just an underlying feeling, like if you're going out with someone and it's good but somehow not -great-... and you realise it's the right thing to move on.

The last two years with Fanfarlo have been amazing and I'm incredibly, incredibly proud of the album we've made together. I think it's going to do really well. I'm moving on though, and I'm going to keep on writing music - my head is bursting with ideas at the moment! Stay in touch with me here! 2009 is going to be a busy year for me...
