So this is the ***p that Christoffer Berg abandoned our ''Klanger & Spår'' events for ...

Just kidding! Well done Christoffer ... congratulations on an fantastic project! I had an amazing clip of this played live with Christoffer on piano (He of course was officially drum programmer which I think is producing but with beats?) and the NY skyline behind them. It's from the  ... again ... amazing ... studio they used when recording in NY but for some reason won't play for me any more. Here is a pic and link if you can get it to work! http://dpchm.de/HeavenNPR

Continued and well deserved success for Maeve O'Boyle ...

I mentioned that Maeve had played a very special event but that it was rather secret or at least She had to wait on permission before talking about it. In November 2012, after watching Maeve's Live ''Brothers in Arms'' you tube video (see also below), 'The Whitehouse' invited Maeve to come over and play at a special event. In December 2012, Maeve done just that ... an amazing 2 hour set. She said ''Martin ,,, the response was amazing ... they loved it''. The news is now public knowledge. Maeve was asked to record for UK TV because of her work using Her own music school to help underprivileged kids but when She mentioned 'The Whitehouse' they of course got very excited. She recorded for UK television this morning (see photo below).  So if that wasn't enough Maeve released the single 'Brothers in Arms' on itunes and is donating the entire income from the single to 'Combat Stress' charity. Just 24 years ol...

Fantastic insight into music from David Gray ...

I remember buying David Gray's 'White Ladder' probably around 1998/99. I loved it ... ''Babalon'' , fantastic track which really gives an insight into the Man Himself ... whom ''wears his heart on his sleeve'', some days it goes well, others not so well. I thought about this track when I watched the Youtube clip above yesterday.  Everything is about His mood, the way He feels, His surroundings ... really great artist! I think it was Macy Gray that I heard on the radio calling David a ''fantastic, sensitive beautiful man'' after She listened to 'White ladder'. It was the Irish that first caught onto David Gray and when He attended ''Witness Festival'' (Free Download) I don't think He He could believe the response He received ...  I was lucky enough to be there to watch His head shaking piano playing and listen to song after song. He had been warned of fines for playing over time but the ...

A great email to open when I came to work ...

I had given up for a long time ago, to expect the same relaxed delivery from a digital music based system ... at the price I could afford anyway - and was very doubtful that a small box for 2995 Sek would change that for me. After having gone through Spotify, AIFF and ALAC files through the Maestro-50 I can conclude that there is hope for digital music reproduction. Whatever it is that they are doing at AVA Media, Manchester, I can conclude that it's working. I've listened to  rock, pop. classical, and jazz and everything sounds alive and unforced. The Maestro doesn't seem to colour the music with either timing or clang. It's as anonymous at 'The black monolith in Kubricks 2001' and that's exactly how a good HiFi...
