Teaming up with MuscularTeeth (AKA Peter Grigoriadis), started off as a "hmm, let's see if we can work together". I'd never met MT, but really liked his attitude, his music, his art, and later his friendship. Now we're close to half way through our first collaborative recording project which we've loosely titled (for now a least) MuscularRose, a self-titled album of our partnership.

It's refreshing to work in a way i never have before. It's hugely exciting, and challenging in new ways, which stimulates my creative thinking in spontaneous bursts...something which suits where i'm at at the moment It's wonderful to be able to share the creative journey too, to be able to not only create to your own expectations, but also how you think the other person might respond...kinda like trying to pre-empt their approval. We do, after all, have half a continent which separates us, so it's a very remote way of working, and it takes quite a lot of planning to see each other face-to-face.

To top it all off, this project is creating some great music. Hopefully everyone else will have as much fun listening to it as we are making it. Expect something quite different from my end of this project. These are songs, baby! No relaxation music here, though i myself find some of the tracks very cruisey...
