One Life Left play’n ma chiptoons

hunz — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 02:00:19 +0000

Boy Walks Girl To Work And Is Followed By A Ghost was played on Radio in London on a show called “One Life Left”. Here is a short blurb about the radio station :

“Commissioned by London’s award-winning Resonance 104.4 FM in early 2006, One Life Left was only meant to run for six episodes. Take that, The Man because now, somewhere over seventy-five episodes later, it’s in its Sixth season and grown from humbling, terrified, fumbling beginnings into one of the station’s most valued shows. Take THAT, The Man. Also take that, British radio standards.”

You can download the Podcast here and it’s also on the itunes here it is s06e02 and I’m about 17mins into the cast but it is worth a listen to the whole thing. I’m so glad shows like this are around. It is a very exciting time! Thank you One Life Left!

Do you know that the release of 7bit Hero is going to happen soon?

Tiny Cartridge and 8bit Collective

Tiny Cartridge had lovely things to say about my new chiptune single “Boy Walks Girl To Work And Is Followed By A Ghost”.

Tiny Cartridge

“Boy Walks Girl To Work And Is Followed By A Ghost” by .hnz/hunz. This is an advance track from 7-Bit Hero, the artist’s upcoming album following “an epic journey about a boy finding a girl a slightly better retail job.” If the rest of 7-Bit Hero’s songs tell their stories as convincingly as this single, this release will be one to anticipate!

Read the whole thing here.

And if you get a chance have a look at the 8bit collective website. If you look over to the right you can see the header “Most ‘Liked’ Music of Last Week” and I’m sitting at #6. A big thank you to everyone for the comments and sending some love with this new chiptune.

Unconvention Mentions

Just a quick thank you to Nick for having me on the panel with Julian, Steven and Lawrence. As I was getting ready for my showcase they squeezed out this 2 part interview (- Lawrence) which is really neat. It was very humbling to hear my name mentioned here and there. To be honest it was just so great to meet up with these guys. They do such excellent work around Australia. THANKS!

For those of you from around the world that don’t get to see hunz play live I have just been informed that UnConvention is going to have a live web stream. It goes live at 10:00am, AEST.

I believe if you tune in at 3:00pm, AEST you will see me talk on a panel about “Music, Technology and Entrepreneurialism” and then you can watch as I go on at 6:30pm, AEST. We will be playing 1 completely new song that we can’t wait to record and get out there. If I get time I’ll post up the set list and send out another reminder hope you can join us.

Also if you are in the area come a long to the free show. It’s going to be awesome.

I discovered this link yesterday and thought I would share it with you. The blog is “Music for the Laundromat” and they did a lovely “New Music Wednesday – Hunz” shout out and congratulated my DIY sensibilities. Thank you!

Hunz speaking at Unconvention

hunz — Mon, 31 May 2010 10:32:33 +0000

It was pretty awesome to be asked on a panel at Unconvention. Esp since Unconvention is a conference that celebrates DIY mentality in the music industry. I just love how the internet has opened up a tiny hole that bypasses the commercial music industry structure. Even better is that no one really knows how to turn that into “Marketing Strategies” yet because it’s happening right now and people like you and me are making it up us as we go along. It’s a really exciting time if you ask me

So, Apart from being asked to speak on a panel concerning “Music, Technology and Entrepreneurship”, Hunz will be playing a full set as well. The show is completely free and the conference will set you back a few. More information if you click on links and stuff below. I’ll keep you posted on some of my thoughts as things lead up to this and so on.

Videos from Skinny Jean show

hunz — Sun, 23 May 2010 07:27:11 +0000

For those of you that couldn’t make it out to the Skinny jean show where they asked me to perform one of their songs “A blessing” and did a cover of “Soon, Soon”. Well you are in luck. Niteshok was there and filmed the 2 songs and has been kind enough to share it with everyone. A big thank you to the skinny jean guys for allowing me to sing their tune. It’s things like this that makes what you do all worth while!

A Blessing
