muddville - 2010

Relaunch of Mike Mudd’s homepage on the web today. Finally a truly professional website -and it’s DIY! I don’t like to be an ad for corporations, but THANK YOU APPLE for making my life as a starving artist so much easier.

Now the professional recordings begin. Saturday will be an 8 hour recording session at Prussian Blue Recording studio in Taichung.

International food and music fest

It was fun 'Going Native' today... Jamming with Native Space at the Compass Taichung International Food and Music Festival!

We kicked off the festival with a more or less improvised jam and a couple of songs thrown in.

I ain’t Superstitious

m not superstitious, but thanking the muse obviously helps! I woke up with 2 new songs in my head this morning -but didn't have time to flesh both of them out. Here's yesterday's tune called 'Earthquake.'

The song lyrics tell what it's about. 'I woke up from a dream and I'm singing. When I wake up with a song in my head, I've just got to jump right out of bed.' The song was in the dream I had yesterday morning.

My Dream Muse...

I want to thank my dream muse for giving me another song this morning! That's 2 songs from my sleep, making 4 new songs in 2 weeks! 3 Dream songs...

99.1 Radio ‘mini-festival’

‘Crazy Rock’ In the Park

The silence played two sets at a one-day mini-festival organized by Butterfly Crys music center (I know it's spelled 'CRIES' but hey, It's Taiwan!) and Taichung radio station Super 99.1. We kicked out the jams!!! Though I still can’t understand why it’s so hard to convice the guys that our stage presence suffers when we sit down to perform!

Our New Digs

Our new apartment on top of the world...  well, at least the 20th floor.  What will happen in case of earthquake? I don’t know, but this building didn’t collapse during the last big one! (But around 600 other ones did.)
