----------------------
A new CD is available from Jonteknik. It is titled "Uploaded (Volume 1)" and is available from the Online shop on this site. It is a 14 track CD containing the downloadable tracks which have been appearing on my Myspace each week. The first 15 will be numbered on the disc and the sleeve signed by moi! The new material is behind schedule due to work on my degree but expect some live news soon!
May/June 2008
----------------------
Work has been progressing on the forthcoming album. There are new collaborations with Blue-Jean, a young Scottish vocalist and also a track with Aradia, based in the USA. I have also been working on a couple of short instrumentals.
All of the numbered edition CDs are sold out. They were 'Tones From Home (1994-1999)' album and 'Intuitive Scientists e.p' and 'Testing the echo e.p.' They are still available on CD, just without the numbers! All of these releases are available on itunes worldwide as well as Napster, eMusic and Amazon mp3 (USA only).
April 2008
----------------------
I have released 2 limited Edition Numbered CDs over the last month. 'Intuitive Scientists e.p' which has sold out (ok, there were only 25 in total!) and the album 'Tones From Home (1994-1999)' (of the 30 there are about two-thirds sold so far, up to 22nd April). Thank you to everyone who has invested in them. 'Intuitive Scientists' is also on itunes and several other download stores now, including Amazon mp3, eMusic and Napster.
December 2007 - March 2008
--------------------------
London fashion week (in February) included 'Radio station' by Jonteknik in the play list of Audio Sushi. I have been working with a few vocalists over the last few months on new tracks for the album. I have also put together an e.p of 5 tracks which I will release online as well as through itunes in the coming weeks. The release is called 'Intuitive Scientists e.p' and features 'Radio Station' remastered at 24 bits, together with 'I could have been warped', 'Machine', 'Forever Electric', 'Forever Endeavour'. As these other 4 tracks are not on 'Tones from home (1994-1999)' I figured it would make sense to complete the remastered collection.
November 2007
-----------------------
There is now a short clip of the second single on the mp3 jukebox here. The song was co-written with Deborah Lequoque and called 'Electrons Libres'. As you will hear, it is sung in French. I am also working on another track with Iebole at the moment. I have replaced the compilation 'Forever Endeavour' with a new compilation of older material. It is called 'Tones from home (1994-1999)' and is basically the best tracks from the old compilation remastered at 24bits.
October 2007
-----------------------
'The Space Beneath Your Feet' featuring Iebole on vocals is now available on itunes worldwide. The follow up single will follow in the coming weeks. It is sung in French! Watch this space...
September 2007
-----------------------
News of a new single from Jonteknik. 'The space beneath your feet' features lyrics written and vocals performed by Iebole. You can hear a clip on the mp3 jukebox on the home page or on the jonteknik myspace page. www.myspace.com/jonteknik
August 2007
----------------------
At last 'Forever Endeavour 1994-1999)' is available worldwide on Itunes. Just search Jonteknik once in itunes or click the link on the home page on this site.
25th August - 9.30pm Film24 - documentary/interviews 'Bourne ultimatum' with Jonteknik music.
A couple more collaborations for the album. One song is sung in French (Electron Libre). My thanks to Deborah (Sens of luna). The other collaboration is still ongoing so more news soon!
June/July 2007
----------------------
Work on the forthcoming album is progressing very very well. I have put a few of the tracks up on this site. I have also recorded with an artist called Iebole, who has written lyrics and performed vocals for one of my tracks. This will be released as an online single release in the autumn, with an additional remix. My thanks to Andy Sturmey for the lend of his ears during mixing! I recently composed a few background bits for the satellite channel Film 24. Thanks to Martin Percy. Looking forward, hopefully another collaboration with Iebole for the album and the availability of 'Forever Endeavour' on itunes, which seems to be taking forever!
May 2007
-----------------
A new track from the forthcoming Jonteknik album is added to the site. It is titled 'tabula rasa' (meaning 'clean slate'). I am planning to make this the opening track. I have also remixed a track called 'Sunflower' by 'Ellectrika' for 'Elation Records'. It is very pop but dark with it. I hope you enjoy the new track and I will announce the availability of 'Forever Endeavour' on itunes and Napster very soon I hope.
April 2007
-----------------
I have been writing lots of new material and am very happy to be back creating music. A lot of negativity surrounded the last project I worked on during and after all the hard work and dedication. All you can do is pick yourself up and slowly regain the confidence lost. I would like to work with other people on productions because having collaborated with 'Onetwo' I did learn that it can be healthy to bounce ideas around. I am doing a remix for an artist here in the UK. The song is a housey dance track so it will be interesting to see what I come up with! It is quite refreshing to work with vocals now and again, especially I have no inclination to perform any vocals at all!
March 2007
-----------------
At the moment I am working on new material for what I hope will be an album released sometime by the end of this year. The sound so far is very rhythm orientated with spacious arpegios, think Kraftwerk's 'Musique Non Stop' era. I am avoiding using loops wherever possible. I will also be looking at expanding the track 'Ubersonik', a clip of which is on the myspace page www.myspace.com/jonteknik. I am also working on a remix for a Belfast-based DJ who makes great music and is releasing an album. More details soon.
Forever Endeavour (1994-1999)
There will be a new release sometime over the next 6-8 weeks on itunes and napster (should be by the end of May). It is a compliation of music I wrote between 1994 and 1999. There are 19 tracks, some of which will appear on this site and also at www.myspace.com/jonteknik
I will keep you posted
