One week on...Wednesday 10 March 2010
... and I'm up to #43 on the ReverbNation electronica chart for London!
Work's progressing nicely on the 'Spring EP'. I now have three of the intended five tracks finished so am hoping to release it at the end of next week, or early the week after :)
Had a productive weekend with Clear Air Turbulence too. Ran through a few of my ideas with Cosmo for taking the music live as well as playing him some of the new ScarKord stuff. I've also given him an unfinished ScarKord track 'Wobbulator' which he intends to use in his Raptronica project. Be interesting too see what he does with that!
That's all for now, SK
Exciting times!Wednesday 03 March 2010
It's all kicking off! The feedback on Reverbnation has been great for the 'Throwing Stones' tracks and I'm positively flying up their electronica charts. (Currently #54 in London and #999 worldwide)
On top of that, I'm off to Leeds this weekend to do a bit of recording with Cosmo of Clear Air Turbulence
But the really exciting news is that I've been in touch with a local singer/songwriter who's looking for a collaborator to help get his Electro soul act of the ground. Had a listen to some of his work and he has a FANTASTIC voice and a singing style all his own, the tunes aren't half bad either. I won't name him at this point, as I don't want to jinx it, but initial e-mail contact has been promising, he likes the ScarKord stuff and we're meeting for a music chat next week!
Anyway, I'm pretty sure one of the above three projects will result in live gigs which I'm so looking forward to finally doing.
More updates when I have them,

ScarKord EP's - Bonus ItemsSunday 28 February 2010
Just made a minor update to the 'Throwing Stones' EP, but hopefully one you'll like.
For anyone who buys the EP, I've included some exclusive bonus drum, synth and percussion loops taken from the EP tracks!
These can be used in your own tunes too and I'd love to hear what you do with them, so get in contact and let me have a listen :)
Assuming this proves popular, I'll look to include some loops with the 'Thud Funk' EP soon.
All the best, SK
ScarKord shopFriday 12 February 2010
You can now buy my music from the ScarKord shop. There are two new ScarKord EP's for you to listen to, "Throwing Stones" is the more techno of the two EP's whereas "Thud Funk" has more of a breakbeat edge to it. All 10 tracks are available to stream in full for free but sound much better as FLAC downloads ;)
You can expect to see a new EP every month!
Oh and if you do decide to buy the EP's or individual downloads, you can get 20% off until the end of the month by entering the voucher code 'glasshouses'.
Hope you like the new tracks! Keep a look out for more next month!
