New stuff

Cheers to everyone that saw me do the acoustic gig in slough last week. It was fun. Don’t know if I really fitted in to a punk night but never mind it seemed to go down well.

Apart from that I’ve been working on a couple of songs that will be on the first Tiger Mendoza download release which will probably be called TMCD1 (imaginative? No, but never mind eh?) and will be ready for the end of Jan 2009. Won’t that be great? Here are a couple of tracks for you to listen to:

‘Tokyo Triangle’ features the lovely Helena Markou on vocals. We’ll be working on some other new songs together as well but they’re not ready yet.

The previously mentioned demo thing is now up to 5 tracks:

 

  1. Untitled 1
  2. Untitled 2
  3. No Heroes Left
  4. Wait for Tomorrow
  5. Take
It’s not quite finished yet so no downloads just yet (I have 2 songs called Untitled for Bob’s sake!) but there will be soon. 
 
On another note Toy #1 have finished a new 2 track CD with this cover:

Great isn’t it? Go here for more: www.toynumberone.co.uk

2 new songs

Here are 2 new songs that I’m not going to touch anymore otherwise I’ll end up ruining them.

>> No heroes
>> Wait For Tomorrow

There’s a couple more but they need vocals so will probably be another couple of weeks. Also, anyone noticed the way that MySpaz have started changing links? Also the wording at the end of their song upload script is quite interesting…

Wonderwall + Oxford Snakes

I don’t know why I haven’t posted this on here sooner but here’s my take on Ryan Adams’ version of Wonderwall:

>> Tiger Mendoza vs Ryan Adams – Wonderwall

It’s kind of a dark indusrial hip hop take version which I thought came together nicely after messing around with Ableton Live

Also I’ve done a remix for Oxford Band Hammer vs The Snake which also came out pretty well so here it is:

>> Hammer vs The Snake – Blame (Tiger Mendoza Remix)

As far as I know they like it and it may be going out on an e.p. they’re putting together soon but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. Cheers to the band for letting a complete stranger mess around with their song.
I’ve also been messing around with my 4-track, my new guitar and Mr. Sean Mills on some completly stripped down acoustic stuff. When I’ve finished it, I’ll probably stick it up on here as well but I’ll save that for another time….

Fruity Loops + Reason = New song

After reading loads of amazing reviews and comments, not to mention Liam Howlett, saying he used it to demo the last Prodigy album, I’m slowly making the transition from Fruity Loops to Reason 3.0 to start making music.

Learning how to use a new package is an arse, let me make that clear, especially when you’ve been using the old software for so long, however just tinkering with Reason makes me feel like it’s a wise choice.

So what have I achieved? Well I have a ‘new’ demo. I say ‘new’ because I orginally started this song in 2003 and just haven’t been able to finish it. However, after importing the samples in from the FL sessions I started off with and also the real guitar samples that I recorded (one of the real downsides of Reason is that there’s no way to record new audio tracks, everything’s in midi (if I’m wrong, please tell me!)), I rejigged it in to it’s current form which you can download and listen to. It really needs a vocal so if you’re interested, please contact me.

Happy (instrumental) Update: This is old and has been taken down. Sorry.
