A short note about our music

by andy.dtnl Email

My heartfelt apologies for missing out on the Sounds from the Other City festival last weekend. An unavoidable personal situation meant that I had to pull out at last minute. Once again, we fail to play the North-West! I hear it was an amazing day and I'm gutted to have been forced to miss it.

Particular apologies to K-Beard who has been trying to book us for years now. I hope that we'll have another opportunity in the future.

On that note, and since I've had a few emails asking about our live schedule for the Summer - Digitonal is effectively on hold for the moment whilst I become a father (!!!) and do some writing. Things have been tough for us lately with the general slump in everything musical, and we're feeling a definite need to regroup, rethink and get on with our real lives for a change.

I hope this isn't the end of the road (and strongly suspect that it isn't!), but for now, that's it for Digitonal. We may be making some older material available again soon, including, hopefully, The Shining rescore soundtrack, and there are a couple of remixes I've done recently which will surface, including a cracking one for Alice Russell (which sadly looks like it's being left out of their competition). I will try and make it available soon, label permitting.

Thanks to everybody as always for their support and messages and we'll stay in touch.

Andy.:

Sad news, but very understandable. Congratulations on becoming a father. I hope Digitonal will resurface one day to fill the world with more Silver Poetry. Until then, you will be sorely missed.

No No NO! I am saddened to hear this is the state of things. Being a stateside fan, a lot of situations like this seem to have poor US distribution as a contributing factor... it can be difficult if not impossible to find so many good UK releases, even at specialty shops.

However, I am an optimist, and I usually find that artists who make great music cannot be suppressed forever. Until then I'll be hoping for your Shining rescore, or perhaps even another sampler CD (still so many hard to find tracks out there)!

Congrats, though on becoming a father. I can sympathize with the sudden lack of time you face. And I even have two(!) more on the way!
