Me &amp; Cameron Dean - 31st May 2008 (10:43 mins)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">Cam is one of the guys I share the studio with. We've only known each other about 5 months but we jam most Saturdays. He's on guitar and I'm on bass guitar (with loop pedal), trumpet &amp; MPC 1000 beats</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C_RainWalk_31May08.mp3">http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C_RainWalk_31May08.mp3</a></span><br /></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><br /><br />2. Me, Cam &amp; Mattlew Appleby - 10th May 2008 (6:42 mins)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Cam &amp; Matt were playing guitar - Matt is panned to the left &amp; Cam to the right. Matt was complaining of cramp due to a few months away from the axe - you be the judge! I was doing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">MPC</span> beats, Bass &amp; <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">melodica</span> I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">think</span>.<br /></span><a href="http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C&amp;MA_Radar_10May08.mp3"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C&amp;MA_Radar_10May08.mp3</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br />3. Me &amp; Simon Hughes - 14th May 2008 (16:28 mins)<br />Simon is aka <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Fupper (www.fupper.co.uk)</span>. We met whilst both playing a gig at The Windmill in Brixton probably in 2005 and we started jamming early 2008. We're both on our <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">MPC</span> 1000s and Simon is on Guitar too. I'm also playing thumb piano, bass &amp; some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">skanky</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">synth</span> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Korg</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">MicroPreset</span>). From memory this beat was completely improvised between the 2 of us.<br /></span><a href="http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;F_14May08.mp3"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;F_14May08.mp3</span></a><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><br /><br />4. Me &amp; Simon again - 11th March 2008 (14:17 mins)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">This ones got some strange African flavours, we thought. Again we're both on MPCs, with Simon on Guitar &amp; a bit of harmonica I think, and some vocals at the end. I'm on bass, melodica and some pretty terrible vocals in the middle!</span></div><div><a href="http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;F_11Mar08b.mp3"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;F_11Mar08b.mp3</span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><br /><br />5. Me &amp; Cam - 10th May 2008 (16:32)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">I'd just finished making this cheesy beat when Cam arrived. Some nice moments in this one...</span></div><div><a href="http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C_Ravon_10May08.mp3"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C_Ravon_10May08.mp3</span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><br /><br />6. Me &amp; Cam - 29th March 2008 (9:57 mins)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">This is a fairly spacey number with synth bass and lots of guitar delay. </span></div><div><a href="http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C_29Mar08.mp3"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">http://www.kondor3000.com/K&amp;C_29Mar08.mp3</span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"><br /><br />Remember: these are all improvised so please be patient.

Started a blog, that is. Succumbed to the concept of template websites. My previous forays in making websites have yielded somewhat mediocre results, so I'm here to try and keep my music affairs relatively updated and accessible, hopefully with less frustration than trying to create and maintain a proper website!
