It’s about €1 more expensive than it is to buy it direct from Bandcamp, but iPhone users can download it direct to their phones through the iTunes store, if that’s something that you wanna do, whereas with Bandcamp, you do really need [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/today-my-album-went-live-on-itunes/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/stream-my-album-and-buy-it-if-you-like/ http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/stream-my-album-and-buy-it-if-you-like/#comments Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:21:04 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=1495 The digital version of my album went out to my fundit funders yesterday, and about half of them have already downloaded it at this stage. But you can now stream the album on Bandcamp or Soundcloud, and if you like, you can buy it from Bandcamp. It will shortly be available through iTunes and other [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2011/11/stream-my-album-and-buy-it-if-you-like/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2011/10/mastering-gigging-and-a-free-download/ http://www.misterebby.com/2011/10/mastering-gigging-and-a-free-download/#comments Sat, 29 Oct 2011 10:34:23 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=1445 Mastering is an interesting art. I was able to attend the mastering session for my record at Wav Mastering in Limerick, and experienced the recordings gaining more definition and going from being a bunch of tracks that I’d recorded to being an album that made sense to listen to. I find it hard to explain [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2011/10/mastering-gigging-and-a-free-download/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/12/nollaig-shona-daoibh/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/12/nollaig-shona-daoibh/#comments Fri, 24 Dec 2010 04:32:13 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=944 I really love Thea Gilmore’s “Strange Communion” – it’s not only one of my favourite “holiday” albums, but it’s a really wonderful collection of songs, regardless of the winter/christmas themes. I wanted to do some kind of little “seasons greetings” message of sorts, and the best way I know how is through music.

It was Under The Pink, which I listened to all the way through a few times alone in my room. Before listening to Tori, my notions of piano music were limited to [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/05/free-download-donut-song/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/04/download-galway-rain-demo/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/04/download-galway-rain-demo/#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:19:41 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=545 I’ve had the house to myself again today, so after spending a while in town being sociable I came home and spent the evening playing with the cat, cooking dinner, and demoing a song. This song is one that popped up in the video clips from a gig I did in January, so I’ve been [...]]]> http://www.misterebby.com/2010/04/download-galway-rain-demo/feed/ 0 http://www.misterebby.com/2010/02/free-download-rebel-demo/ http://www.misterebby.com/2010/02/free-download-rebel-demo/#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 16:19:20 +0000 mister ebby http://www.misterebby.com/?p=219 I’m never sure about titles. In fact, I often hate titling songs, and sometimes have short nicknames for songs which is how I refer to them in set lists or whatever. That’s definitely the case with this one. It was nearly called “Running For Miles”, but I’m not too sure about that either.

I knew what I was writing about, and how the song would be structured, more or less. But I was still surprised by the melody that came from the lyrics.

The chorus of it is something that would run around my head after I went swimming. No idea why, but the lyrics were basically sketched out while sitting in a sauna. The verses were bits and pieces from various places.
