Going To America! And a couple of updates.

Posted on 12 June, 2012 by Ardie Collins

I haven’t posted here in a while. Unfortunately I haven’t got all that much to say, though. Except for this – I’m flying to America tomorrow and travelling about to a few places there for 3 weeks!

Here are a couple of new songs I’ve written recently.

“Heavy”

“Buried”

I’ve been picked to play at the VidCon Open Mic thing they do. If you’re going you can see the schedule here: http://dft.ba/-vidconopenmic

If you’re not going then you can also see the schedule at that link, it’s just probably not as relevant to you.

“Heavy” can be found on the “Other Songs And Demos” EP at my Bandcamp along with a bunch of other songs.

And I reckon that’ll do for updates for now.

I’m off to America for 3 weeks now. Bye!

That EP I did is now available on iTunes and Spotify

Posted on 14 May, 2012 by Ardie Collins

I released an EP last month. It’s been on my Bandcamp since then for free streaming and paid download, but I also decided to distribute it by iTunes and Spotify as a bit of an experiment to see how that works. I just heard today that it’s become available on both of these things. So if you were so inclined the album is available for download from iTunes (they set the price unfortunately, so I can’t change that), and for free streaming on Spotify (or below on the new fancy Spotify widget thing (you have to be an existing Spotify user to use it, though, I think)).

And have yourself a new song I wrote today for good measure, kid. Don’t mention it.

Out Of Here

8 Songwriting Tips (That Seem To Work For Me, At Least)

Posted on 12 May, 2012 by Ardie Collins

This is a culmination of a bunch of stuff I’ve been thinking about when it comes to how I seem to write songs, some of which ended up in this ridiculously long blog post about rhythm and things. A lot of this is stuff I just do, rather than being stuff I think about the whole time.

I’ve gone for 8 main ‘tips’. There will be, of course, plenty of other tips that plenty of other people might have. And some of my tips may not make sense or work for you, but this is just some stuff that’s worked for me so far. I’d love to hear how you go about writing songs (or fiction or poems or anything else for that matter) so that I can steal your process from you.

Post-EP Release Things And Getting On With Projects.

Posted on 8 April, 2012 by Ardie Collins

I’ve been posting about this all over the place, but I thought I’d summarise stuff into a wee blog post. In short, I released an EP this week. It’s called Out Of Here and it contains tracks from the Cooper365 Project last year and some tracks I’ve written since then. The download includes two bonus tracks that haven’t been posted anywhere in my little corner of the internet before, so if you were the sort to be all dramatic then I guess you could call them SUPER-SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE BONUS TRACKS. I also uploaded a B-Sides EP which is some new tracks I wanted to make available somewhere but which I felt didn’t quite fit with the mood of Out Of Here. Read the rest of this entry →
