3JM5GZRXYT4D// Luckily we are in an airconditioned studio as it is 39 degrees outside. We are about finish the 7th track of 10 for Misa and the Relics, I say we and I mean me and my friend and super engineer Mark Neary. We are in Pink Studios out here which is only £180 pounds a day for a great SSL mix room, dont quote me! Back in the UK on Saturday then next week working with Mike Lindup to finish his record ready for the Level 42 tour in October as well as cutting a new track. Jamie Abbott is writing more great songs and we are planning a co-write day with my fav songwriter in the world Judie Tzuke the week after next. Have a great day. Best Kip
3JM5GZRXYT4D. Sting opened his Symphonicity tour last week to rave reviews, with our co-written song as the opener to the show A Thousand Years. I finished writing a new song with Jamie Abbott and Pete and Ellie Bellotte today and it sounds rockin, when we finish the demo I will soundcloud it. Currently doing some remote mixing with Serbian artist Misa Relic. Mark Neary is the great creative engineer driving the board and I travel out on Sunday for the last week. Just downloaded dropbox onto my iPhone, what an app, check it out if you need to move files around computers. I am going to sleep now. Night
3JM5GZRXYT4D.Thats me out tonight at Wembley, very excited. My article is out in Resolution magazine today. Some friends have told me about it but I have not seen or read it yet. Also I am photo of the week at http://recordproduction.com/blog/2010/05/photo-of-the-week-kipper/ F U N. I have recently re-connected with Polly Paulusma who is one of my favourite singer songwriters of all time and who kindly donated a song
to one of my Bang and Olufsen “Open Mind Albums” that I believe are now collector items. Today I am meeting with manager Solomon Penumuchi from Flawless music and also finishing a backing track for a new song for Jamie Abbott. Tip of Thursday is to buy Pollys track One Day at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/one-day/id290337221?i=290337334. Have a great weekend. Kip
That just about sums it all up!! I saw a really fun gig last night at Cadogan Hall which was an evening with Mike Batt of Katie Melua fame with a superb orchestra. I had a fantastic writing day yesterday with Pete Bellotte of Donna Summer fame his wife Ellie and Jamie Abbott. I think we wrote a summer smash. Seeing John Mayer on Thursday night at Wembley.

I saw Leddra Chapman last night who I thought was fantastic. She didn’t have a bad note in her body and I even bought her album at the gig, yes!! a CD. My obsession with Foy Vance continues as he is all I seem to listen to in the car on my way to the studio, amazing. Mike Batt has invited me down to Cadogan Hall to see him perform on Monday night which I am looking forward to after a days writing with the legendary Pete Bellotte and the new artist I mentioned last week Jamie Abbott. I have put up a great version of mine and Stings 1000 Years on SoundCloud at http://soundcloud.com/kippermusic/sets/kippers-music-for-the-world
