MAY 2009:
'Project_X', my latest album has just gone online as a free download.
Split into 4 parts, it runs at just over 30 minutes, taking in all styles of music. Dub, Ambient electronica, Rock, Pop and Ballroom are mixed with instrumental soundscapes; artists from all over the world have contributed spoken word, lead vocals, arrangements, live drums, guitars, you name it. We even managed to pull off a 13 strong choir on part one!
It's FREE at www.nickhopkin.com to download where you can
stream the audio and read about 'Project_X' in more detail.
Thanks so much for the add. Your work is a fascinating and inventive blend of electronica and acoustic. I can see why you find a kinship and collaborated with Gift of Sight. Your sound is palpable and multi-dimensional with a real beating heart. It surrounds me.I have found that my European friends are much more about sharing and collaboration than the Americans and I wrote a blog about this recently. There are a few of them that I would like to direct you to, but this comment is becoming very lengthy. Hopefully we can expand this discussion in future messages.
congratulations to you and tanny nick, i'm chufferd for you both. i think you should be enormously proud of how much you've achieved in the last year. your an inspiration to us all.
