It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride when it comes to my involvement in The Simonsound project.  What started as a low key thing for Simon and Matt to make weird and interesting electronic inspired sounds, it’s now become something that’s being featured on Radio 1.  My involvement has been purely about the scaffolding that supports the creative stuff they are doing - legal, financial, project management, online bits, design.  I’ve enjoyed every minute of being involved with what they are doing.

It’s so cool to see the hard work they have both put in finally pay off and for people to start hearing what is truly an amazing record.  It’s also nice to be part of a small family of inspiring people - Emily, my girlfriend, designed the covers and labels, and I’m so proud of the process she went through and final artwork, which looks great.

Anyway, enough back slapping.  If you haven’t heard the record yet, go here.  If you are one of those few people who care about owning it, you can buy it here.  I strongly suggest you do buy it, it’s the people who buy this stuff that enable new good things to carry on being made.

Embarking on a new venture - making notebooks (for others).  After playing around with the idea for the past 6 months, the need has arisen for me and Emily to do a bit more than just play around.  I have a business need, my company, People Who Do likes to give people handmade things like notebooks - I would prefer us to be making them.  I also have a personal need, to make nice things, to constantly be thinking about the design of things like paper and notebooks.

I just sent notebooks to Sam and Mark who have some plans to do something special with them which they will document online - I love this idea, made me think about starting some kind of assignment based around one of our notebooks that anyone can take part in.

If you’d like us to make you one (or more), let us know.  We are in the process of setting up a place to buy online, in the meantime, just email us to find out more.
