I’m still alive!

Hello there
I’ve been revamping this site the last few days and thought I should post something too!

As you may have noticed, I haven’t posted since February. This is because the purpose of this site has changed since I made it.
Originally it was intended to offer a way for me to communicate with people, and a chance to let people know what makes One Inch Man tick, by posting up a bunch of stuff that inspires me.
I’m still doing that, but the ever changing landscape of the interwebs means I’m doing it in different places now.
This then, is now more of a central hub. A jumping off point for finding me on the net and a home base to return to should you become lost/frightened/aroused.

The links over to your right will lead you to my usual haunts but for quick reference…

For general communication and hot chat action I can be found on Twitter as @OneInchMan and, for a terrifying glimpse in to the mindscape of One Inch Man, you should check out my Tumblr at oneinch.tumblr.com

In other news, I’m dangerously close to finishing the next record. I’ll post updates about that here (and, no doubt, everywhere else)

Positive reviews for Summers Cast In Gold!!!

So, a few weeks ago, I uploaded a song and entered it into the ongoing contest on www.garageband.com .
The idea being, to get some reviews.
Given that my finger is clearly a stranger when it comes to the pulse, I neatly side stepped all of what I’ve since learned are the most popular songs on the album and uploaded Summers Cast In Gold because I thought the bassline was the best thing I’ve done to date.

Anywho, I have thus far received 2 reviews, both of which were not entirely uncomplimentary.

good chilled
relaxing, chilled. sounds like a harmonnica wih some tremeloish effect. drum effect/mix is a little weird. reminds me of the flaming lips a little bit more serious tho. really cool.

interesting percussion effects
its the first thing that grabs my attention. sounds like a reverse envelope filter on the snare, which is quite unusual. the warbly effect on the intermittent melody instrument (keyboards?) is decent, but i think this may be a hair to hot in the mix. i like the way this track builds up and how the instrumentation is layed out. this would be good sound track music, as it is evocative and paints a picture. not sure if i could compare you guys to anything, it sounds quite original and fresh to my ears.

Even a grumpy so and so like yours truly can’t complain about that!
