The final pack in the Ambient Metal Constructions series is now available at Producerloops.com! You can check out an audio demo and a free 30MB sampler here.
Work has already started on the next sample pack...sufficed to say, it's going to be completely different. But I'll keep quiet on that one until it's ready. Enjoy!

"At the Dream's Edge" - Progress
Here we go - a makeshift track listing, and progress update. Almost there...I can feel it. And it feels good. Like an awesome sneeze.
Supererogation [ finished + extended intro ]
Yellow Jacket [ 30% ]
All Roads Lead Here [ 85% ]
Probe's Day Out [ 30% ]
At the Dream's Edge [ finished ]
The Mirror [ finished ]
Harvey Wallbanger [ finished ]
Bad Code [ finished ]
Welcome to the Fold [ 75% ]
Mad Touch [ 30% ]
A Song for Heroes [ 90% ]
Terminus [ finished ]
Under One Sky [ 75% ]
All Good Things [ finished ]
As a maybe, "SRMV" should make an appearance but only if I can past the intro.
The order might change, as might some of the titles, and there might be a couple of new additions in the form of some ambient/mellow tracks but, that's more or less it!
I say it on a regular basis, but a huge thanks as always to the people who continue to buy my first CD, and remain patient with me and my terrible rate of progress. It's been a really long time coming but I hope it's going to be worth the wait. Now to make the final push...

New rough/demo clip uploaded
The product of a little midnight riffing - not entirely sure where this is going to fit in with the other material, but I already have some cheesy and strangely upbeat melodies in mind for it. For now the second half is just the first repeated but I'll think of something cooler :] Enjoy!

A quick/important note regarding Ambient Metal Constructions
I've had a few messages from people who have spotted this riff from my Soundclick page in various places. I actually ended up recycling this idea and using it as part of the Ambient Metal Constructions pack, which is sold as a royalty free song construction set, so nothing has been infringed upon. I'll add a note to the upload later on today just to clarify this - either that or take it down completely. Not sure which yet!
I'm ever grateful to people who take the time to let me know when my ideas do crop up in unexpected places, and it's been of great help to me many times. If you do think you've spotted something chimpy, by all means PM or email me! If you have any questions over the usage of sample packs, your best bet is to contact Producerloops directly.

Chimp's August Update...
Hey all - just a little bit of news for this month. First of all, my Ambient Metal Constructions 2 sample pack was recently reviewed in Music Tech Magazine. I'm expecting one from Keys Magazine (Germany) also, but in the meantime you can check out the review, listen to some demos and buy the product at the Producerloops website. For anyone wondering what exactly it is...think Legos. But instead of plastic bricks, pirate ships and those neat satellite dish things, it's small chunks of guitar, bass, drum and synth loops.
Secondly I'm pleased to announce that I've just signed a publishing agreement with Giant Client Publishing/In The Groove Music. Their clients have included ESPN, BMW, MTV, CBS and more companies with more acronyms than I care to remember! Does this mean Chimp Spanner will be the soundtrack to the next Hoverboard Championships? Who knows. But hopefully the year ahead will prove...interesting.
For now it's back to work. Keep an ear out for a new song at the weekend!

Hey all - you can hear the latest track from the new album, "At the Dream's Edge" at MySpace and Soundclick! Still a few adjustments to be made but I'm close to putting this one to bed. Enjoy!

Update on patch issues, and Computer Music reviews AMC2!
It's been quite a while since I added anything to the site, so here's a quick update!
First of all I've had a few emails regarding my Line6 patches not working with the XT series, but it now seems to just be a software issue. The patches will not work with Line6 Edit, but they will work with Gearbox, on the XT/Pro/Live. The dual tone patches, of course, will require the X3.
Next up, 'Ambient Metal Constructions 2', my second sample pack with Producer Loops, has received an 8/10 from this months Computer Music; it's great to see that there's room for heavier music in the sample market alongside mainstream styles! So feel free to head on over there and check out the demo clips. All Producer Loops products are available as direct downloads so it can be yours in just a few minutes.
Lastly, the new album is still in progress and is up to about 50 minutes. I'll have at least one new track to upload by the end of the week. Work slowed down on it briefly while I've been preparing some of the tracks for a potentially exciting new venture...but more on that when it's good to go!
That's all for now, and as always, thanks for your patience with the new material!
