Just wanted to let you know we just added something to Mixposure called Groups. You will see it on your page in the menu. This is similar to FaceBook Groups. So I can have a Group called "Gibson Users" and have other Gibson users in my group. They will be notified of new posts in the group. Owners can also email the group.
Please take a look!
hi ho just to let you all know im still around and still doing the music thing ,,reason why ive been unusually quiet this year is that ive been working since oct 2015 on re-creating jean michel jarres first album oxygene ...the reason its taking so long is that im trying to recreate not only the tune but the sounds used by finding the equivalent vst to the synths that he used ...my only rule is that all the vst`s are free downloads and not torrented snide versions .and fortunately ive amassed pretty much all of what he used even down to the ems vcs 3 and the rmi harmonic synthesizer ...the korg mini pops...ive also got hold of some tasty emulated synths like the roland juno`s ,moog`s ,tr 808 ,909 ,tb 303 ,oberheim 2 voice ,arp 2600 . ive got 2 more tracks of the oxygene album yet to do ,,then its back to some original tunage and more long term projects 
RavenWest has once again honored us with a new guitar to giveaway! The contest will be on 9/10 and we added a few rules to this contest.
1. Previous winners are not eligible (this means you Rusty!)
2. Must be an active Mixposure Member for at least 1 week. In other words, do not show up from a Facebook post for 2 minutes and get a free guitar.
3. You must have a minimum of 10 song reviews .
4. Must be present to win. We will give it away during one of our radio shows so you must be in chat.
5. We will have a winner and a runner up, much like the beauty pageants. If the winner is Rusty or someone who does not meet the rules qualifications, the runner up wins. The runner up will be the person in chat who responds after the winner. It wil make more sense when we explain this.
More information will be coming. Oh and here is the guitar . View all images here .
I would just like to say Thank You to the people of Mixposure for the honor of making me Artist Of The Month. To say I'm humbled is an understatement. There are so many great artists on this site it's unbelievable. And the people and staff are all hugely supportive for which you have my gratitude always.
From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.

It's nice to be back to Mixposure. It's been a while since I've been particularly active. I have in recent years been involved in working with David Pendragon who is a producer who was heavily involved in the early years of this site. That plus attempting to run a legal practice makes it difficult to spend as much time as I would like here.
For those who might remember me from the earlier days, I am now recording as "Brian Ralston's Self Tort" rather than "Self Tort" - a significant reason for that was that the most recent recordings have been more "singer/songwriter" than "band" and, perhaps more importantly, my most recent (and hopefully future) recordings use real people playing real instruments.
In 2013 I put together a band to be part of our ABC's "Exhumed" competition and as I mentioned in my penultimate blog we won the Sydney final of that competition. I will be posting in coming days some videos of that night which was one heck of a blast. Sadly the geographics involved with the members of that band did not allow it to become an ongoing thing.
However, in February, 2015 I happened to be playing a solo spot at a gig in Sydney, and after my set I was approached by someone I knew from my past dealings of mixposure, but whom I had not previously met in person. That was Robert Smith or "Robbo" as he's known in here. Rob's sons were playing in a band at the same gig after my set and we talked about getting together. In November 2015 Rob was part of a band that was put together for the launch of my most recent CD "Stripped Bare". We have also played a few times together as a duo and keep talking about putting together a funk band (Rob's call) and a Joe Cocker Tribute Band (my call).
Anyway, I will be posting some tracks of my most recent recordings including the EP "Oldest Roadies On The Earth" and "Stripped Bare". There will be some downloads, but having spent a lot of time and money in getting them together I won't be giving away the whole box and dice for free. Oldest Roadies is already up at iTunes, Amazon etc and Stripped Bare should be up there in the not too distant future. The recordings will include tracks co-written with well known mixposure people such as Melsi, Carol Douglas and Lex Zaleta.
Thanks for allowing me to come back after such an absence.
Cheers to you all
