It's something that I have thought about. I think I'm going to do a Google+ hangout - which will be streamed on YouTube - where the topics of conversation will be issues surrounding Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire/Scotland (plenty of those just now), a Q&A session about the album and a couple of live performances. Had a few requests to do this and I'm keen to test out this new function. It's also a good way to engage with those outside this area and to understand their perceptions of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire which is something that I am interested in.

An acoustic/songwriter album is on the roadmap for the future. I have started working on the next album and I have recently invested in some high specification production equipment. I was at Steve Mason's studio for a day a few weeks ago and learned lots on how he produces music. Wanting this album I'm working on to go up a level in regards to production and I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Thanks Eupraxia, this piece of artwork - which was inspired by the urban legend that elements of Bram Stoker's Dracula were inspired by Slains Castle - will also be on the back cover of the album:

Also thanks to Stroopy121 for liking the last video I posted on here.

I currently do everything at home, it's a steep learning curve and the technology is always evolving. It's taken me a few years to properly get a recording system in place that I am reasonably confident with. I would recommend checking out this site as it has pretty much everything you need to know about making your own music: http://www.futureproducers.com/forums/

New song called "Paying a Broken Record":

Thanks for your positive comments about the video, always wanted to make a video that showed off many of the hidden gems in the local area. You are half right, my extended family and ancestors are all from that area. I haven't lived their myself, but visit fairly regularly.

Thanks for the feedback, not sure where you are getting the Depeche Mode reference from, if there is a hint of that it is completely unintentional. "White Walls and Golden Shores" is a track that won't appeal to everyone (but has been liked/favourited by a decent amount of people across the social networks) and that is the way I like to make music.

Please check out the new video for my song "Hide", filmed at various North Aberdeenshire landmarks....

Hello,
