Music

Hi everyone!

So I have a few music pages which I am and will be updating more regurlarly in the next months. If you could follow/like me it would be much appreciated =)

Here they are:

Facebook Page   
Soundcloud Page
Bandcamp Page   
Reverbnation Page


You can download my one and only available song (I am working on adding/recording more) for free on Soundcloud and Bandcamp or for a price you name on Bandcamp. If you download from Reverbnation 50% of earnings go to Fender Music Foundation. I will change this charity regurlarly.

I am currently based in Ankara, Turkey so if you would like to get in touch send me an email at melissaclissold@gmail.com

Thom Byles - Step Into The Weather

Check out my friend Thom Byle's new album Step Into The Weather. He is an amazing guitarist, singer and a very talented young musician.

Step Into The Weather is a beautiful album which one may describe as 'honey for the ears'. An album to listen to on a rainy day, on a long car journey with the windows of the car down and the wind blowing in your face, on a beach watching the sunset... An album to reflect and to let the sounds just take you away. I would recommend it to everyone.

Show your support by downloading his free album (you can make a donation if you like) and spread the word so he continue to sing around the UK and even the globe!

Close to end of an era

Listening to : Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body .

Well, tomorrow is my last exam of my masters degree and then I will have a dissertation to write over summer due in September. I need to start thinking about jobs, and what I will be doing next year. Currently however I am enjoying friends, bbqs, sunshine, home-made ice-cream, blue-moon beer. Or at least looking forward to the prospect of many more of the above mentioned this summer. Soon I'll be seeing Aerosmith, AC/DC and Rage Against the Machine, at Download Festival! So Life's pretty good. I will write an entry soon about what I have thought about my course and why I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting into the development world.

For now,

peace

Unwanted sounds: a little bit of a solution - Sennheisers!

You're on a plane or a bus. You're in a room with the sound of people echoing off the walls. But you want a little peace while listening to your music, or you just want the massive humming sound in the background to disappear! Even if it won't make the 'unwanted sounds' vanish completely, a good Sennheiser headphone can take you to bliss from naught to 0.01 seconds. Just push a button and voila! : oblivious to all.

Ever since my dad bought me my nifty Sennheiser's, listening to music has been more of a pleasure than ever. I push the button and the annoying baby that has been screaming at the back of the bus has jumped out the window for all I care. Turn the bass up, rest your head and the rest is history. I'm writing this to all those people who hate those sounds at certain times and cannot find a better solution than sticking their fingers in their ears or using ear plugs. Mine says (on the packet - it is a PXC 150) that it reduces outside sounds by 70%. Don't be misguided however. It's not like the minute you push the button you'll be deaf as a rock. You'll notice the difference though...one that will make your journey and your music listening experience a better one. Honestly people. Go get one. It's worth it.

Thankyou Sennheiser. You make life just a little bit better.
