Ossia / Mitchell : About time
Ian is back in this week for 4 days then playing for us @ the weekend, In jerseys coolest club 'ice'. We will be making the Flip to 'About time', expect a release on 'innersense' by Easter 03. & Video diary of the gig by next diary input.

"Cant get it wrong" Vantage Point : Van M / Terra Deva / Richard Schiell / Marcy Mitch :)
The 'love like sleep'/ 'cant get it wrong' saga continues with Subliminal reason for not releasing it as "Its a mix short on 'cant get it wrong" ...! Well, no problem, here's the definitive mix of "Cant get it wrong" then. Terra Diva's career has gone from strength to strength.. Most noticeably "shakedown" reaching no6 in the UK charts. She's guna be so so big in 03. It's been nice to call back up the lighter of the 2 tunes & give it a little 'Twist'. I'm happy now weather Subliminal release it or not :).

Innersense : The 1st release will be Human Movements "Healing" main mix / reprise / Deepsky remix / 'grow in love'. We are hoping to get the first 1000 vinyl copies Before Christmas. It will be available from the site Jan 03. We are hoping that each month we will launch each release with a small but true bash @ "ice" nightclub here in Jersey. Its a small club 150 people max but its vibe is complete Sanctuary.. We will be trying to set up web casts from the club on the launch nights. More when I get the Teck-no-in-fo-mo-jo:)

Thanks for all your emails & GB entry's , its nice to know that without saying a word, after 6 months of being off-line .. There are still many of you checking in daily.. Thanks for your support. Sorry for the delay in the members section.. It should be up in the next few weeks. The studio now has a new computer.. A Dual 1.25ghz Mac :) its awesome. Tunes are now taking a week instead of 3 !!!! it really is amazing.. Also I've got 2 monitors set up now, reason / Absynth / FM7 / Kontact / Battery all on screen @ once !! Lovely. I'm now not using anything outside of the Mac except the DS3 console. I expect that when I get the 5.1 air system that 95% of what's in the studio will be going !!!! scary... but I cant wait :) I am whoever still waiting on MOTU to release the OSX version of Digital Performer.. Expected end of the year.

Yo Global Dudes,
Were back.. Sorry for the delay in getting the new site up but this database stuff has been a slog & a half.. A big supper thanks to webmaster 'Jon' for all the time he has spent & belief he holds for all that is Sanctuary. So what's new ?? So much I don’t know were to start. As well as the new look there are now MP3s of all the library audio, there is a global guest book ( fill in the town / country / continent & see your "marc on the world"), There are the audio parts & samples from some new & some classic tunes available for you to download to do your own remixes of. And a message board for you to comment on & post your remixes back up again for personal & global scrutiny or admiration. To get these privileges & goodies you will have to become a "MM-member"..this will entitle you to free-bees, exclusive DJ mixes, rare & previously unreleased MM productions & first hand info on what's hot & what's not @ Sanctuary Music technology. There is also for the few a VIP area for in progress work & downloads are available. If there are any areas on the new site that are not 100% up & running, please bare with us.. Feel free to email me if you spot any anomalies. Also feel free to post any personal or technical questions to me via the message board.. "What is happening with that tune ?" "How did you make that sound on.." You know the score. To accommodate all of the recent growth & changes I am proud to announce the launch of our new Label "innersense". Incorporating multimedia / records / 5.1 DVD-A / Post production & promotions output to the world from our own Sanctuary music technology center here in little ole Jersey.

This is not to say that my tunes will not be on any other labels but "Innersense" will exist more as a middle man to guarantee the product gets out there... This year :j (dig @ the majors there) initially there will be only 1000 copies of each release. We do expect them to "Fly" out but as a member you will be able to secure copies as there pressed.. & who knows, there's is a ghance that your remix may find itself on a innersense release in the future !!. All the remix parts will be in MP3 & reason refill formats. As for the studio... Well she's cooking as usual.. Take a look at www.dynaudioacoustic.com I wrote a review on there BM15 speakers which are my main speaker in the studio (& the best in the world.. really). I'm talking to them about 5.1 & possible collaboration in the future. By the end of 02 the studio will befully 5.1. This is an arena I have dreamed about for years.. My production is well known for its 3d feel. For years I have decoded the surround in real time, creating my own 3 D environment to create in & succeeded in getting this down to vinyl. To have a true surround environment will enable me to achieve another goal in the labels purpose. The release of 5.1 DVD-A's.

This will be the new format for the future.. In ten years time all your music CDs will be on DVD-A (if not emailed to you). DVD-A prioritizes the Audio rather then the picture and the full 5.1 experience is yours to have @ home through any DVD player. Its a little known fact that "Stereo" was invented by "Disney" for the film "fantasia" back in the 1930s.. Its funny how now history repeats its self &the film industry once more gives us the musical format for the future. In 2006 I want to be ahead of the game.. Part of the Future. Not what is happening to the vast majority of electronic & Dance music, Kidding itself its still 1990 :j. I am (rightly or wrongly) slightly disillusioned by the industry at the mo. I have little faith in the industry that has enjoyed the last ten years of commercial stealth & control.. We are focusing the label launch & marketing on the people we believe are part of the future of Dance / Electronic music..A future that I believe will see the reemergence of Electronic music rather then the commercial letter box of the Dance industry. I Hope that with these changes will come greater freedom of product & allow exscertion's in to more experimental sonic adventure. With the studio soon to be fully 5.1 it is also very exciting to know that we could be one of (if not the only) studio available & able to do 5.1 Dance remixes !!!

The sites is almost finished - theres still things you might find that don't work (theres still photos to be added and lots more content)

Cheak out all the new tunes that have been done sinse you were all last here :) Once again, thanks for all your patience... Let us know what you think !

Diary 012 - 11/03/02
Yo Global muse dudes, Currently 85% done on the Ossia track , sounding great. Listen to a "work in progress" snippet by watching the video diary. We had a great session. Ian was here for 2 weeks. I'm very happy with the sound we have come out with. Very Bedrock. Its been an intense couple of months, going straight from viola remix to Bond to ossia.. I'm enjoying a few days of before getting back to finishing the Ossia tune & the ambient mix of the Bond tune. Initial responses of scott Bonds tune have been so good that I have had to remove the audio from the site for the mo. It will be back up next week, when we can control the speed of this already rolling ball. Human Movements Remix of Deepsky's view from a stairway should be out by the end of march.

Deepsky's new Album 'in Silico' is awesome & I'm really looking forward to the Human Movement remix representing them on there first single release after the launch of the album. They got a brand new site to check out as well goto www.deepsky.co.uk . There is talk of some possibly collaborations on there next album., it would be nice to see Deepsky here in Jersey for July-ish. I will keep you posted.

I've done 2 interviews for websites this month, the first is at www.progressive-sounds.com & the second is at www.i-vibes.de. Both sites & interviews are worth checking out if you are not already aware of them. Thanks to Simon "Wizard" @ prog sounds & Kevin @ i-vibes for the ongoing support. It was my little boy Malachi's 4th birthday last week. He is growing up so quick, but don’t worry he is already a "Mac" user & is asking some good questions about fader automation. He is everything Karen & I wished for, He's just "doing it". Happy birthday Malachi !!.This Week I'm finishing of both projects & next week Paul Mack is back in for another Human Movement session. "Fall in to love" is already 50% there so we should have it finished in 2 weeks. More for you then. Ossia & Bond Audio up nextweek. Next Input "Fall in to Love" until then...

DIARY 011 - 09/02/02
Yo Global Muse Dudes,
Checking in for the first time in 02. I ended up working on another remix for platypus over Christmas. My remix of Moogues Viola, is now finished. Platypus & Moogue unfortunately think it is a bit to far removed from the original to release, so chances are this will be the only time you will be able to hear it. If you like what you hear please email me & I will forward on your views to platypus to encourage them to hopefully find a home for it. If not...'Hey, You win some you loss some'. Also on the Platypus front, Sunday Clubs remix of "All because of you" features as the opening track on the new Gatecrasher CD released this week & is out on Vinyl @ 'Hard to find records' Platypus 100th release!! an honour & limited, so if you want a copy get it now, don’t be emailing me in 3 months time asking if I know were to get a copy from. Added this month for the first time is a video diary of the last week @ the Sanctuary studios, check out 'Grovies' of Scott Bonds visits & the newly completed 'web' room @ the sanctuary.

The new redesigned MM site is nearly complete. Is there anything you would like to see on the site? Let me know. Things to come include, global Map guest book & mailing list, Message Board, MP3 download library, virtual studio tours, studio cam & more. We are also trying to sort out a "shop" were you will be able to buy online exclusive CD's & Vinyl of new, current, past & rare material. It has always been that the labels that sign my original work (in 1 form or another) have taken in some cases over a year to get the tunes out there to the public. I believe that a small run of vinyl's & CD should be available at the time the tune is completed, before a deal is found / this will allow all you avid global muse dudes to get hold of all the original tunes within a month of completion.

Scott Bond Finally managed to find the time to get over here & we have just finished the main mix of his new single . I had the flu for the first 3 days :( & then Scott shot of to the south of France & the USA before returning last week to complete the final alterations. I'm totally buzzing that another colour has been added to the Sanctuary Rainbow & really excited about the Product. Take a listen HERE. Radio & chill out mixes to follow next week. Once done, I will hopefully have time to do a couple more days on Human Movements "Fall in to love" before Ian Ossia comes in on the 11th (looking forward to that as well). The Club Photo is courtesy of DJ Joel Einhorn taken @ "The Roxy" taken 2 weeks ago in Prague (Hungry), during a spinning of "All because of U". Thanks for that M8.
OK Back to Mr. Bond's radio mix....
Next input... Ian Ossia returns , until then...
