It’s nearly August 2019, we’ve just had a scarily hot few days in the UK and today is the first day in a while that Britain feels familiar, peaceful grey skies, a cool breeze and gentle drizzle - perfect conditions for listening to some music!

The new Sanguine Hum album Now We Have Power is available for pre-order today from Bad Elephant Music. Now We Have Power is to be released on October 12th 2018 and is the sequel to the acclaimed 2015 release Now We Have Light, described as "A Masterpiece..." by All About Jazz.

Misuse of power, abuse and suicide and the potential for technology to redeem are some of the mature themes found in The Lazarus Sign, a new indie RPG game that I'm currently composing the soundtrack for. 

I've had the urge to write a composition for strings recently, probably because I've been really enjoying the new Olafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions samples by Spitfire Audio. 

In this blog I'm going to show you how to go about recording the trumpet and demonstrate the different characteristics of various microphone designs with a five mic, mic shootout. 

Sanguine Hum are featured in the new book, 'Wonderous Stories' by Jerry Ewing.

It will be released in two editions, both hardbacks, with a forward by Steve Hackett,  and has been beautifully put together by Carl Glover.

If you're an indie game developer then I want to help you get the most out of the music for your game. I want to help you punch above your weight and create memorable, unique game experiences that connect with people. Why? Because I love brilliant indie games and because I love to work on creative, original projects.
