Bonjour à tous ,

j’ai le plaisir de pouvoir annoncer que mon premier CD « Made in Melbourne » (« Dreaming is the Way ») est prêt, et que je vais faire en Octobre et en Novembre une série de concerts sur Melbourne où à cette occasion vous pourrez alors vous procurer le CD.

J’espère vous y voir, on pourra aller se saouler à la bière Aussie (à la fin du concert bien sûr) en célébrant l’été australien qui arrrive enfin.

Cheers !

Update sur le CD Démo 5 titres

15/07/08

Bonjour,

Juste pour dire que la session avec Cameron McKenzie le 14 & 15 juin dernier s’est très bien passée
C’était super de travailler avec un tel pro.
Je dois encore travailler sur le design & la pochette du CD, mais entretemps veuillez trouver ici un de ces nouveaux morceaux en écoute KTN2
Vous pouvez aussi trouver une de ces nouvelles chansons sur ma page MySpace (www.myspace.com/timchesley) : « Maybe One Day »

Cheers,

Bonjour tout le monde,

Ca fait un certain bail que je n'ai pas donné de nouvelles.

J'ai préféré ne pas rechercher de concerts ces derniers temps, pour la bonne raison que j'ai décidé de concentrer mes efforts dans l'enregistrement d'un nouveau CD Démo 5 titres (en juin), qui reflètera le son que j'ai en concert ici en Australie, soit guitare acoustique (et effets) + voix.
Je serais aidé dans cette tâche par un ingénieur du son grand musician avec un son très sympa et des bonnes références, Cameron McKenzie (Horsehead, Mark Seymour Hunters & Collectors, The Androids, Belle Roscoe).

Une autre nouvelle est que je suis désormais membre de BMI, qui est une P.R.O. basee aux Etats-Unis (Performance Rights Organization).

Enfin, j'ai retrouvé lors de travaux d'archivage récents quelques vieilles versions inédites de morceaux que j'ai trouvées assez cool, des premières prises enregistrées à l'époque dans la maison de Chindrieux en 2003. Ici je tiens à remercier Alain Parmentier pour le mixage de "Croire au Bonheur - 2003" et Thibaud Guichardan pour le recent mixage de "Newport - 2003".

Veuillez trouver ci-dessous un lien pour pouvoir les écouter.

Croire au Bonheur - 2003
Newport - 2003

Cheers,
