Last week had a great time @ the invadertron album launch.. http:/www.myspace.com/tronaudio1

at the moment i am working on completely my new EP - fuzzy at the edges.
it has taken alot longer to complete than expected, but this is a good thing, i have really put alot of time into these new songs, and i am making sure that the production level is up a notch this time and hopefully they come across with as much emotion and passion as i have put into them..its been a big journey this last year and i think this album really reflects everything thats been going on..
the new EP will be alot more live, and i am getting a few guest musicians involved this time too..
i'm also aiming to have a proper album launch when completed with limited edition versions available with special artwork, video and lots more .. it may not be a for a few months more, but hopefully sooner..

i have been super tempted to post some preview tracks, as i am amazing excited about the new sound that has come through this time..but i think the tracks for the moment will remain secret till alot closer to the launch date.

other than working ..i have had a few small, great gigs..around nz..meeting lots of great people along the way and learning lots..

also just recently, selections of my music (both released and unreleased) are now available for licensing purposes through :

and

also this month i will be release for free a selection of tracks that were previously written for live use only... this will be release in two packs..so keep an eye out for those downloads ..

other than that i am on the look out for any short film makers, vj's, animators, 3d artists..etc who would be interested in collaborating on some new projects..
if so get in touch @ straytheories [at} gmail.com

cool, well thats me for now,
next update coming soon
peace
