A new start - a new blog...

So I've decided it's time to start a blog.

The Eat More Cake studio is finally shutting down, you see, and I wanted to have some kind of record of the breakdown of the existing studio, along with the setting up of mine (and Andy's) project studios. It's part diary, and part geeky vanity...

It's a good time for Eat More Cake - the album is finished, we've been remixing, gigging and things are generally on the rise. Consequently it's not a brilliant time to be shutting our studio, but circumstances mean that we no longer have a room to put it in, nor money to get another room.

The other problem, of course, is that we have to keep working. Ideally, we still need to be able to write, remix and produce, although this now is likely to be in our own individual bedroom studios. It's not something that's completely new to us. After all, we finished the first 'album' while Andy was still at Uni in San Diego, and we had to send CDs to each other via Air Mail to share ideas!

So that's a kind of introduction to this blog. I'm hoping to share my experiences of downsizing, along with maybe any tips I come across, equipment I really miss, music software that helps bridge the gap, and all other things Eat More Cake related in the build-up to our album release next year.

And maybe we all might learn something too...
