I’m afraid this post is only bad news. Yesterday, Daniel Ek – founder of Spotify – declared publically that he will be investing €100 million in an AI defence tech start up. Let’s just think about that for a second. Daniel Ek created a platform that allowed listeners to stream music from millions of artists,… read more»
Today marks four years since I last played a gig a proper gig as Steve and the Sea. There’s been a number of reasons for that; shortly after this gig I moved to Brighton where I had little to no space for practising. When I did have space I went around and around rebuilding my… read more»
Three years ago I found myuself in something of a rut. I’d just taken redundancy from my job, I’d just come out of a relationship and I was getting itchy feet. So I found myself a Masters degree at the other end of the country, packed up my life and moved down to Brighton. I… read more»
