Horse and Camel CD Launch 30 Oct

The weather cruelled the numbers a bit at the launch of Figtree Renaissance II at Horse and Camel but those that were there enjoyed a mix of the album ,some spontaneous compositions plus some guitar favourites...special thanks again to Bruce and Janinka...the best wine bar on the South Coast

Here are some fab piccies by Trish

Record labels: Change or Die!!

Trish found me this article on the changing landscape of the music industry and some of the statistics are very frightening for majors...its a lot worse than what I thought and backs up my approach to indie/alternative music even more
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/03/record-labels-change-or-die/

2nd Film Clip 'Transport' from Richard Lawson album Figtree Renaissance II up on youtube.

Hi All
Here is the 2nd clip from the upcoming 'Figtree Renaissance II' ALBUM.
Its here on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OsYuo1ggYc

The song is called 'Transport', and in my head images of traffic busily beavering way into the city at night have stayed with me since I wrote it in April 09. The song originally was a rock song and is to be heard on 'Bread and Water'...only available online
Then I had a little outro added onto the original...classical in make up...it took on a life of its own and is now a stand alone composition
The images are all clip art apart from some on the ground scenes around Sydney shot by my Lovely wife for Puddleduck Photos
I hope you enjoy it...I certainly found myself drawn into its narrative
Cheers
Richard

Music for Films 7 Live debut Figtree Renaissance II

Well here I go...into the land of Figtree Renaissance again and playing live.
I havent played keys live for sooooooooooo looonnggg and especially not the Figtree Renaissance stuff. Its now under my own name granted but the meat of the music came out of Figtree Renaissance whose first CD in 1995 started me on that road.
Since then Ive been diverted into Folk music with Blue Valentine and Home Rule and Garage Punk again with various Lime Spiders reformations and cheesy Euro Pop dance with FTR.
All I really wanted to do was this music for films. Be it soundtrack/instrumental/ambient...it was always a vehicle for musical dreaming.

I set no parameters and there might be elements of classical and electronic in there.
It is already getting rave reviews from friends and acquaintances in the industry including the respected new age artist Fiona Joy Hawkins who has said I definitely have a sound and its great.

Tonight I play at the 32nd Annual Kiama Arts exhibition which is where I want to be exactly. I am playing the whole of the Figtree Renaissance II with backing. I will be adlibbing live over the top of it in a very organic manner...soo I better rehearse again
Wish me luck
Richard

New jam experiments for Figtree

Hi everyone
Im trying some new combinations to bolster our Jam range...
Originally we had the 3 tapenades [Garlic and Olive/Fig and Olive/Sun Dried Tomato and Olive Tapenade] and 2 jams...[Pear and Vanilla/Beetroot and Onion]
Im dumping the Pear and Vanilla in favour of Pear/Lemon and Ginger and trying out a Apple/Celery and Mint Jam.
Let you know how they go

Digital Distribution...Tunecore vs Reverbnation

Ive just been toodling [???] round on my facebook having lots of fun [sic] with their myband application and Ive been looking at whether to go with tunecore or cdbaby [whom Ive used for the last 3 years] and now I see reverbnation are in the digital picture.
Its such a myriad of options for the digital age and I just commented on Chris Gilbeys blog last night as to the loss of copyright and/or royalties and the total remaking of the buying audience/public. The Lime Spiders have been ticking over sales with the digital side of their last Figtree release "LIve at the Esplanade" FT102 BUT the physical sales have collapsed....ditto for FTR and Blue Valentine.
2 new releases are slated for September 2010 from Richard Lawson and once again the playing field has shifted.

Music for films 4 Vangelis/Bladerunner

One of my all time favourite synth kings is Vangelis and this is one of his finest film scores from 1983...it includes "Memories of green" a lilting piece which so contrasts with the dark menace of the lead track...love the timpanis in it
Even though it was nominated for a BAFTA for music accompaniment the soundtrack was not released on Polydor for 10 years?

One of the most original filmmakers of the 20th Century Stanley Kubrick placed music front and centre in his films...witness "Thus spake Zarathustra" by Ricard Strauss in 2001 A space odyssey....
