Hey guys! =)
I know, it has been a while again! Sorry. So what is new? Well, Andi and I have recently finished up a new Karanda track which is heavily heavily Wandii’fied (you will know what I mean when you hear it! 
Let us just say that it has major uplifting and epic chords and is one hell of a full-on trancer!!! So, YEY! 
). It is infact the third track I have ever finished in Ableton, and I think perhaps one of my best produced to date. So I am really happy with it! We’re trying labels now. I want to thank Andy Moor for his feedback and input regarding the mixing and EQ’ing. It helps to have opinions from different pairs of ears 
Oh, the track is called ‘Rewind’ (we played an unfinished verison on TKS — the finished version sounds sooo much better!!).
This weekend I am going down to Worthing to visit Andi again, and to chill out on the beach!! I have the whole of next week off too! So I will get lots of producing done hopefully. I have started a new track already! This one is a little less adventurous than Rewind, but still really nice melody-wise I think. A little more predictable, but they can not ALL be crazy Wandii melodies… Why not, you ask? Hehe. Well, we are focussing on the Karanda project, that is why! But ‘Rewind’ was just bubbling up inside of me and a I needed to squeeze out a big epic trancer just to fulfill that part of me of which you might be familiar with!! =)
There is not much else new really! I AM helping out with some films at the moment, and I will be doing sound effects (foley style amongst other things) and the scores, but it is all very early days with that. But I certainly do enjoy composing for films and games (I helped out some friends who are making a Half-Life 2 mod called ‘Dire’ a little while ago). Apart from this, I am just focussing mainly on Karanda! Our radio show is going well and we are thinking about starting a second show (since TKS is only aired once a month at DI.fm) so we have a show on twice a month. The problem is, there are ZERO available slots at DI.fm… so IF we do a second show, it will either be on various other online stations, or purely available as a podcast. We are not sure yet, but we certainly want to be putting a show on for you all more than once a month!!! Big time!!!
I have the new iPhone 3GS 32gb now, and I shall post pictures (and perhaps videos) from my journey to the south this weekend. I am in love with the iPhone, despite the hefty price tag it comes with… Hehe. I have “synced” my Pikchur.com account with my Twitter account, Facebook, Flickr and Friendfeed, so that when I send a photo to Pikchur it automatically updates all of those accounts for me. Lazy I know, but being somewhat of a self-confessed g33k, I do love it! =) You can also post your exact coordinates with the iPhone too, which shows up on Google maps… but be careful with that if you have a bazillion followers Stephen Fry has done it before, and people went and found him! Haha. Luckily his followers/fans are generally a nice crowd.
Anywho, I am being a bit random and general now. But I just wanted to update you all a little and to let you know I am still alive and well! I hope all is well with you. I will be back soon, and you can always see the latest Wandii or Karanda news at Karanda.co.uk (same site as Wandii.co.uk). Oh oh, I am in the process of designing a new website design from scratch too. I have been learning to design WordPress templates, as you do… =]
See you soon! Have a great day/week/month/life! =D
Take care.
Wandii xo
