1 track album
MALT DISNAE is now available via the below link AND it is FREE AS FUCK (as is all my music) and there are FIVE options to choose from; I recommend looking through this on a laptop / desktop so you can see the various artwork clearer : )
The reason I’m doing this is because after a few BARRIE conversations, I want to approach how I do things creatively a bit differently because at the end of the day, I do this because I absolutely love making music and I feel, although I’ve always given what I’ve earned away, this previous ethos still revolves around capital, monetary gains etc.
Now, you can pay something if you want, but if you don’t, then that’s totally cool…all I ask is that you do something sound for someone else in return, maybe take your maw out for a jar of McEwens Export, or phone up an old friend and organise to do something fun that they would like; maybe arrange an orienteering event or go play a wonderful game of drink; or both lol.
If you do chuck some beans my way, then I will use these to do some sort of good with…in previous years, I have usually donated all my creative earnings to a charity of choice, however I want to try something different this year; not sure what but please trust me that I will be as transparent with these plans as soon as I can figure out how I’m going to try and make a positive difference; initial thoughts are helping raise mental health awareness and contribute solutions to the ever growing issue around homelessness.
SO…back to the release, I’ve uploaded this album 5 times; each one has a different album cover which is a representation of each character within the album. The idea is that after a month, whichever one has been downloaded the most will become the main artwork.
Just as a reminder, this album is a concept piece loosely based on the grim origins of certain Walt Disney princesses lol so you can pick from:
Charming Rides / Paralysed Tears = Rapunzel
The Call of the German Seven / Eternal Sleep = Snow White
Mad Jack Arrives / Fine Dining = Sleeping Beauty / Cinderella
Ring the Bells Ye French Priest / Bones Dusting = The Frog Princess / Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Birth of Death Sung By Whales / Deadwood = Ariel from The Little Mermaid
So aye, that’s that…I’ve noted who was all involved within BandCamp but I want to say a huge thank you to everyone again, so Michael Brennan, Duncan Aitken, Liam Saunders, Rachel Wright, Pete Maher and Rory Buchanan, I will always be eternally grateful to you all for helping me create this piece which I am so so proud of…also, Matt Punton, Greig Duncanson, Sean DeFrancesco, Marty McPherson, Gameboy and anyone else who had the patience to listen to me ramble on and on and on till my thoughts were completely focussed on how to take this forward, muchos cheers to you all as well.
Anyway, that’s my piece said so all I’ll say now is that I truly hope you enjoy everything to do with Malt Disnae, pals, listen with head-cans and please feel free to share to spread this all over the digital ether.
Much love.
