more on samplebase

Samplebase.com are featuring my string loops library on their front page at the moment, with a video showing the samples in use and a bit of an interview with me.

Meanwhile, Ralph Godden at Bab Kubwa sent me another rough mix using the samplebase loops library.

New realstrings sample library coming soon.

digital skills for musicians

September 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

My fascination for the digital skills and tools that help a musician work and evolve has lead me to have a go at a mind map, using a free web service called Mindomo. I can’t imagine I’ll ever actually finish this as it will continually change. Any help in improving it would be most welcome!

I split these digital skills into 2 areas – creative content in the form of media (music, audio, video, images, design) and web activity – how to promote and exploit your creative content online.

I can’t embed the map here (come on WordPress!) but clicking on the image will open the map in a new window, where my current notes become active as you roll your cursor over the map. (Can’t get the map to display in Safari.)
