   About cadmantheaviator
Maintaining a now longstanding commitment to making music by whatever means available Andrew Stewart and Zia Khan are calling themselves Cadman the Aviator. Andrew is in Aberdeen doing most of the recording and Zia is in London designing niche furniture for the beautiful people. He has a studio now and between them they make music. Andrew was once a glam rock star who secrety co-wrote most of the Ziggy Stardust album with David Bowie. Rumours circulated about this for several years but it was latered revealed to be a pre-internet hoax as Andrew was born the same year that classic album was released. Zia was a DJ but once specialised in handmade guitars. Also the victim of false press rumours it was once said that Zia was infact the brains behind Stock Aitken and Waterman's 80's hit "Road Block." Again this was not true. Zia infact only programmed the Atari ST. In the 90's he and Nigel McAdam held wonderful nights in Aberdeen playing great records. Aberdeen hasn't been the same since they stopped. The philosophy of Cadman involves opening doors to creativity, sharing and a kind of escapism from Aberdeen. It is hopefully always about the fun of making music and bringing other people in on that. But we're not hippies, OK? It all started a long time ago with 4 tracks and a school project called Chopper Goes Solo. A time in Glasgow with some rather talented people involved gigging as Perambulator. Then Cadman started, sort of... In the late 90's and early noughties Andrew Stewart and Zia Khan made some music. Like the pioneering avaitor the band took their name from they did not let lack of technical skill stand in the way of their ambitions. A dazzling mix of people joined in at times. Some shyly stepped up to a mic. Others shouted abuse while mixing records. For a while some of these people were the coolest people in Aberdeen, probably. Over a rare period of concentrated creativity Andrew and Zia marked the end of an era with the 24D album. A personal record of something that represented a defiance of granite and the perceived limitations of the city at that time. I think we used an Atari ST. PC's got cheaper and software opened doors. They both now have studios and are more determind than ever that in the next few years they'll achieve some of their modest ambitions. Your welcome to join in.

Aye aye there!  Finally got round to giving the Christmas number a spin.  Been away offshore so couldn't get a listen until now.  Good to see you getting into the festive spirit!  I'm a sucker for a Christmas track!  Must dig out my James Brown 'Funky Christmas' LP....

Off down to Newcastle to see Spiritualized perform 'Ladies and Gentlemen We're Floating in Space' with a full orchestra and gospel choir at the Sage.  Going to be a belter.  Magic way to kick off the festivities....listening to a man pour his heart out through songs about heroin, death, and lost love....hmmm....might not be in with the spirit of things, but looking forward to that anyway!

Finally got a free weekend to get down to the studio and master this Logic software and get some new material finished off....

Hope all is well mate....

Quality tune mate, and a magic wee video to go with it too!  Diggin' the other new numbers as well.  Must be good getting some new material out there again.  Hopefully won't be too long before I get some new stuff oot there too now.

Went to see Neil Young a few weeks ago.  He's still got it for an auld mannie.  Couple of cheesey moments, but nowt wrong with that every now and then.

Wanted to get tickets for the Flaming Lips in Glasgow in November..........and realised it clashed with a mates wedding.  Bugger.

Just about to pack my bags and head off on a wee trip up and around the Highlands & Islands for a week.  Cannae wait!

Hope all is good with you...
