Hi there and welcome to the Elegant Simplicity Newsletter

Once again, I find myself in the position of being a tad behind on newsletters. As usual, blame it on the day job. Despite that, I do have some news to impart . . . so read on!

Hosting - Done and Dusted

I'm pleased to report that performance and uptime of our newly relocated sites has been perfect. Phew! In addition, I managed to put in loads of design tweaks and make things a bit funkier.

Adrift IV

Last Friday I released the fourth part of the Adrift piece under our new alter ego Afraid to Wake. It's a bit of a spooky tune, so if that's your thing, you might just enjoy it.

Talking of Afraid to Wake, there will be a very limited edition CD version of the debut album (just need to complete the design and what not). When you hear the full album as intended it all makes conceptual sense.

And the 24 minute title track is a bit special. Indeed, I was toying with the idea of ripping out the rock section and releasing it as an Elegant Simplicity tune - it's about the only bit of the album that has direct lineage to the 'day job'.

Gaslight Curse

Gaslight Curse is looking to the be title of the new Elegant Simplicity album. However, I may still change it. Unfortunately, I am still waiting on some of the other musicians' parts to be delivered. Hang tight, basically. There expression 'herding cats' comes to mind!

Finally, in case you missed them, here is a list of the latest posts:

Fun Fact

Fun fact: it looks like I have been very busy doing this other stuff when, in fact, I have not! As you know, the alum was written and recorded in about 7 days last year.

Once it was mixed and mastered, I simply uploaded everything and set advanced dates for the release times. That way, they drop automatically and I look incredibly busy!
