in between sessions…
August 21st, 2010 – 3:31 am
hi all i thought i’d put out a quick little update. in between sessions to record the new album, i’ve also been working on a few other projects, including filming a new music video with Jaymis for Ben Stewart of Angry Birds fame. the video will be released soon, but we had so much fun [...]

the more i read robert pirsig, the more i believe in the rationale of ‘quality’. does the colour red look the same through your eyes as it does through mine? how does chocolate taste to you? as i sit here in bed listening to music, after a night out listening to music, after a day [...]

as i drove home from the studio just now, i remembered that when i used to watch or read interviews with musicians and they said something like “oh, this album was 2 years in the making”, i used to scoff. that was before i tried to make my own. unlike the rather talented sister in [...]

a second home is a place you long for; somewhere you’ve banked a small piece of your heart for safe keeping because you loved it so. once you do this, you cross a line – you have traded eternal contentment for a higher level of happiness, and subsequently a higher level of yearning. for me [...]

you may think that the video below is a new cowper music video about the painting of my guitar. you’d be wrong. it’s actually a cleverly disguised CCTV security system designed to work out who’s been stealing all my m’n’ms. turns out it was me. video doesn’t lie. the song the video plays out to [...]

my little brain is racing
June 6th, 2010 – 12:12 am
what a spectacularly great day! i’m sitting here writing with a beer to my right and a pile of minties and fantails to my left, in a vain attempt to calm my racing brain after a coffee fueled day of amazing people and events. these past few weeks have been a rollercoaster – new toys, [...]
let there be noise

the great thing about knowing really talented people is that they are, um, really freaking talented. take my co-creator Jaymis, for example. the guy never played drums before. then he got realy hooked on guitar hero. and i mean REALLY hooked. as in 6 months later, the guy can now play actual drums. take that, [...]
