Album Update...
okey dokes.. this month I'm finishing off the album and sending off the parts to the Netherlands to get mastered.. exciting stuff. A *well known producer* will be playing part of studio engineer and mastering the album, so can't wait to hear it once that's done!
New Audio Production Sample Site in Beta!
A few years back I decided I'd have a go at creating my own audio production sample CD, but for one reason or another it was never completed. So, I've decided I'm going to put up a new pack weekly which will feature 5 or 6 samples each. Mainly they'll be aimed towards progressive / deep house music, but I've a growing portion of chilled breaks, vocals, soundscapes, etc, and will be putting these up too.
For now, you can grab these from this link: http://www.michaelburns.co.uk/samplesite, but soon I'll add a link in the main menu area for it. Check them out, have a listen, and let me know what you think! comments are always welcome :) - if you want to stay updated on the sample releases, I'll be posting a new article on my blog for each release so go ahead and subscribe! :)

Hard drive Crash / all emails gone.. arghhhhOk, so if you've been reading the blog you'll be all too aware of the recent hard disk crash which led to having to FORMAT my computer and start again (man I hate that word.. it's scary...). Emails..If you have emailed me and have not received a response, please forward the email to me again, as I was not able to get a backup and have a resonably empty email inbox at the mo.. *echo..*. Audio..Luckily all my audio is stored on seperate external drives, so that's a heaven sent *and I no longer feel guilty for treating myself to an extenal seagate drive... it was worth every penny!* January 2007
Well, it's been a while since this site has seen any updates.. but over the last few days I've put together a new website (I'm no flash guru so it'll have to do the job for the next couple years!), and I've got news to share.. wohoo! Catching up..I'm sure most of you reading this will already know about the hearing issue that hit me back in December 2003. Thanks to everyone who got in touch, either by phone or email or msn or myspace or.. carrier pigeon?.. Your support has been much appreciated, especially back in 2004 when the battle had first begun! Since then I've come to terms with it, but felt I had to put Music Production on the back burner so not to further jeopardise my hearing. I now work full-time as a support team leader at an ecommerce design & consultancy firm called Frooition www.Frooition.com. Anyhoo, I've not completely stopped producing, infact, I've been working on my first album (more details coming next month!) which I'm really excited about! The album is focused less on house music, and more on chilled acoustic / electronic downtempo.. I'll be putting exclusive audio up on here some time soon to give a feel for the album. To be sure not to miss out, subscribe to my blog and get this update aswell as brand spanking new shiney audio bubbles from the studio! ooooh.. very tastey... Publishing Deal..Not sure whether I posted about this last year, so if not - I've signed a publishing deal with BucksMusicGroup, based in London, UK www.bucksmusicgroup.com, so looking forward to submitting some material for film / tv / radio ads, and other areas! If you, or someone you know, works in this area I'd love to hear from you. I have a library of material pretty much set to go, mainly 30-60 second pieces, just need a couple places to send them to!
