Brian Baker is a singer/songwriter living and
working in the Dandenong Ranges, located in Melbourne, Australia. As
well as writing and performing his songs he composes music for TV,
Film and Radio and also works as a freelance video editor. He has
currently finished his 8th CD release - The Long Way Home, and it's
available here.
The long way home Mp3's (Encoded at 192bps so will
sound good and play in any player.) There's a video clip lower down
the page.
Note: I've just had these
recordings remastered by David Briggs. He's done a wonderful job, so
if you've downloaded these tracks previous to 21.1.07 please feel
free to replace your files with these new ones. :-)
Still need the actual CD? Email me and we will do the traditional
buy the CD thingy. That is, I'll give you my direct deposit details
or and the address to send a cheque, and then put the CD in the post.
Also - The tracks are made available for personal use - they are
still subject to copyright. If you want to license the tracks for film or TV
- no problem, just get in touch with me.
Cheers

P.S. Why did I have the tracks remastered? Well, I originally
mastered them myself and although they were OK, I felt, on repeated
listen that I hadn't achieved what I call a, "gentle consistency".
These days with all the digital compressors, limiters and other
gizmos, it's easy to hit the recordings too hard and end up over
compressing them. If you've listened to the tracks you'll know that
this stuff ain't hard rock at all! I wanted to make it easier to
listen to, I don't need my recordings to be louder than the next
guys. If you want to hear it louder - turn it up!
My only regret is that I didn't video the mastering session with
David Briggs in his studio here in Melbourne. He really is a master
of his craft and a real sweetheart. Thanks David.
