Love Rhino (aka Jonathan O’Riordan) is having a launch party for his new album “Tumatakuru”. I’m playing support on the night, alongside Halo Darkly. Gig details after a bit of info on the album:
“Tumatakuru” is the long awaited debut album from Love Rhino. Containing 11 tracks and running to 53 minutes the predominantly instrumental album is a blend of electronic and acoustic compositions recorded in New Zealand.
For various reasons the release has been delayed longer than planned but we can now bring it to you in all its glory. The CD will officially be on sale on Saturday June 20th and can be purchased at Road or Spin Dizzy Records and will also be available by mail order through the Love Rhino web site.
Preview tracks from the album here: www.myspace.com/lrhino. The album is being released in conjunction with the Alphabet Set who have tons of free home grown electronic music to suit every palate. Check them out at www.alphabetset.net

Delighted to announce the brand spanking new Invisible Agent website, a site that I’ve been working on as part of my day job over at Pixelapes, I think it’s probably the most complete site I’ve worked on to date. Lots to see and hear over there, and plenty of free music downloads to check out.
If you’ve never checked out my own first release, that’s available for free download through the Invisible Agent website.
We’d love to hear any feedback you might have about the new site so feel free to drop a comment here or over on Invisible Agent.
Excellent Epokhe Review
Finally, just after we launched the new website Warren Daly got an incredible review for his new EP Epokhe.
I’m pretty chuffed as I’ve got a remix on there and I mixed and mastered all the tracks. You can download this from Juno, iTunes, Amazon, Napster, and a whole host of other digital download websites.
Check it out!

Ok, so I really haven’t been keeping on top of this at all, but I can only assure you that I haven’t entirely disappeared. I’ve just updated the blog to the latest and greatest release of WordPress - and hopefully this long overdue update will coax me into a little more action.
New Music!
Do I have any new music to show for this long silence?! Yes. While I can’t currently offer up any more free music downloads, I have finally released something - a remix of Warren Daly’s first EP. It’s called Epokhe and has 4 tracks, one of which is a remix by yours truly. In addition to doing the remix, I also mixed and mastered Warren’s tunes! You can get it from any of the following:
It should be available on iTunes, Sony Connect and many more very soon.
More New Music (with pictures)
My summer was pretty much taken over by working on music and sound design for two short films. Unforunately I can only offer a preview of one of the films (thanks to funding restrictions, I can’t share out the whole thing or it messes up chances of getting into film festivals and makes the Irish Film Board very unhappy). Anyway, below is a trailer for Two Point Five Billion, and I still haven’t seen the finished version of “The Masterpiece” by Maeve Clancy, so I can’t show that off either.

More info can be found over at the Two Point Five Billion mini-site.
More Mixing and Mastering
Finally, although it was mentioned a long time ago, I have finished mixing and mastering a new album from Love Rhino, which will be released on Invisible Agent Records. This one has been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to seeing it out in the wild. I’m hoping to do remixes of some tracks from the album, and also looking to remix some more of Warren’s work. Still, I really need to get Ebauche’s own work back on track before I get completely side tracked by more film work (of which some will be landing in the new year - another short for Stitch Films).
I think that’s about it. I’m sure I’m forgetting something major that I meant to mention..
