Album Cover Art:

Fania is back

What Blue Note is to Jazz, Fania is to Salsa.Fania_logo_tallsmall. The back catalogue is
being re-released by those lovely people at emusica/v2 for our listening pleasure, so I am a happy man.

Yet it is also going to be great to feast my eyes on the blissful album cover art of Izzy Sanabria again.
Ray_barretto_acid. Not only a classic, but the late Ray Barretto’s Acid album was a visual masterpiece.

Music is my Sanctuary

Been contemplating this little blog for a while. Rather than pontificate about why, let’s just get on with it.

This is a blog about sound, about music, about my personal pet sonic loves and hates, and about the business contribution that sound makes to brands.

So there will be pieces about sonic brand strategies, about why there is a focus on the visual rather than the sonic by most companies.

We will also natter about about the power of music to strengthen consumer trust, stuff on music & the digital arena, as well as sound in the retail space.

There will inevitably be bits on favourite tunes and sonic masters.

After all, someone once wrote “If music be the food of love, play on”.

And Gary Bartz once sang “Music is my Santuary, Music is my Life”Bartzgallery3
