Parker AirBish

Ok, the name’s not brilliant, but we haven’t got that far yet…

Mr Bish and Parker Airspace are pleased to announce the arrival of their new collaborative SoundCloud Page @ /parkerairbish. Stream the first track “Iona” now; more to come soon!

So there’s the latest news. I’ll upload some of the other rougher tracks later on. I asked Nick earlier today about starting a SoundCloud page to test the water with what we’ve been brewing up together, and he was keen, so now it’s up. Have a listen, let’s hear what you think, good or bad. But try to be nice!

Update:

I’ll upload tracks every Wednesday, so people have time to digest them. For now, you can stream Iona right here:

New tune(s)

This month, I’ve already uploaded four tracks to my SoundCloud page, but I’d just like to share one of them with you. It’s a first demo of a song I wrote about seven years ago on the piano in our student house in Huddersfield. I’ve tried recording it many, many times since then, but the arrangements have always felt a bit stale.

I think this arrangement works, although in the final version the acoustic guitars will probably be replaced by electrics, the rhythm section will be a bit more embellished and groovy, and I’ll probably add some synthesizers and swap an upright piano for the squashed grand piano noise. It ought to give you the general idea though, and that’s the point of first demos. Oh and there will be singing. Oh yes. Singing.

In seven long years, I still haven’t thought of a decent name for this. I might go with “I Can Think What You’re Telling”, but better suggestions are welcome – for the record, it’s about the feeling of being with someone you love in the rain at night and not minding or even really noticing that it’s cold, dark and wet, and half-expecting everything to fade to black like a happy ending in an arty weepy romantic film. I hope you like it.

Welcome

Ok, so I know this is later than planned. I got back later than planned, fiddled with a mix of one of the collaboration tracks I’ve been working on with Parker Airspace, restrung my guitar, and fell asleep. I’ve just woken up, realised it’s gone 3am and I forgot to do my big launch. I missed my own fanfare. So don’t feel too guilty if you weren’t sat hitting refresh all night. And if you were, my sincerest apologies, but may I kindly suggest you find better things to do of a Friday night?

Anyway, I’m going back to bed, but you can now stream some Mr Bish tracks (via SoundCloud) on a special page here, read this terribly witty blog post, and read a short page explaining what this site is about. Ta da!

More will come over the next week. Fondest of welcomes to you; thank you, come again.

//moving forwards

I’ve decided to set a date, on which I will upload some proper content to here.

The first wave of information will come on Friday 11th September. The second wave will come two weeks later, on Friday the 25th.

I hope you will find this pleasing.
