  • Who Put The Bomp (In The Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)? (For Tom O’Brien)


    This year I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to be a party DJ for Helena and Dan’s weddings and a close family friend’s birthday. Unfortunately Tom O’Brien passed away before I got the chance to DJ at his 70th birthday but I know that this was one of his favourite songs and would have definitely been on the playlist. It would mean a lot to me if could have a listen, maybe smile and share it with friends and, if you want to, send a few pennies to www.myaware.org. I’m sure that they would appreciate it.

    Cheers, Ian

  • 25/10/14 – The Wheatsheaf – Mendoza & Griffiths – Along Dangerous Roads EP launch – Oxford

  • Italy via Oxford – Making music with found sound

    A little while back I was asked by the lovely people at citiesandmemory.com if I wanted to create a track with some of the field recordings that have been uploaded to the site. The result was this track which used samples recorded in Italy and on Cornmarket Street in Oxford to create all of the instruments used.

    I also made a couple of videos on how I made put the track together in (I know, the voice over is too quiet but it’s my first tutorial video. Go with it.)

    And if you want to have a go at creating your own version, you can download the Ableton Live set from here. Enjoy.
