It's now already May 10th 2009 and we're on a countdown for the June Holidays... but first: let's have a fresh cup of coffee shall we? Meanwhile: good photos have been added to our photostream: the Calatrava bridge transport through Rotterdam. A great Santiago Calatrava Valla designed item. Click the Flickr link at the right sidebar for full details. Images go well with music right? Let's introduce our artist for today; We're proud to present: CRASH from New Zealand. His album series: Music for Film. When we first visited his Myspace site and listened to a couple of his tracks: bingo! This music just had to be on the podcast; good quality soundtrack music, high production level, touching melodies mixed with cinematic soundscapes. We can also tell you: we're gonna hear a lot more from Crash in the near future. More information via his Myspace site and for this occassion we've copy-pasted from his site to ours... CRASH is born Mike Beever winter of 1969 in the north of England. At a very early age he is introduced to music through his father, a church organist and his mother a keen 'New Seekers' fan!He develops an interest in uplifting and soaring music through his love of the great composers in particular J.S Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven but it is when he comes ear to ear with film and music that the potent mix strikes a chord. Throughout his teenage years he begins a love affair with sound synthesis aquiring his first synths at age 14 and going on to start experimenting with sound and recording throughout these years. After many years travelling he settles in London and takes position as house engineer at Station Studios and goes on to produce successful LPs, Eps and singles for Coldplay, Seafood, Tiny Too and Fierce Panda Records. CRASH moves to the north of England, Spain and eventually New Zealand in the Spring of 2003 where he lives and works. The next few years begin to take his music to a whole new level and with less distraction and more time he begins to mould his very own brand of music. 'Film Soundtrack Electronica' is the nearest description to what now is produced from the Lodge Studios. Often simple pieces beginning with the piano grow into full orchestral soundscapes only suitable for wide expanse and a wide imagination by the listener. Across the world CRASH is heard by a wide variety of people. He touches emotions through his music and the journey is only just beginning... Play it loud! You won't regret. And your neighbours will be friends for life.... Amaretto Iced Coffee Creamy enough to be a milkshake, but with the smooth almond flavour of Amaretto.
