The early morning sun's bearing down upon us

The early morning sun's bearing down upon us

22.06.10 

One of the many positive traits we can take from our inspiring All White's performance to date is I feel best summed up by Coach Ricki Herbert quoted after this morning's match, "We are always daring to dream."

Daring to dream is a trait shared by many of the musicians found on Amplifier, and elsewhere for that matter. If a musician doesn't dream about their art and what they could achieve if they put the effort in then  I would imagine many of the songs and releases that make up the site may never have happened.

Not everyone gets to realise their dreams in a manner like the All Whites, yet for every big success there are dozens of smaller ones and for many a artist getting their music into the public sphere is a significant dream realised.

Dare to dream.

 

Release Of The Week
Pieter T - Life, Love And Lessons


Eagerly awaited by his growing fan base, Pieter T has been working hard in the studio, gigging, photo shoots and working on his album artwork to bring his collection of original urban styled music to you!


He's dropped 4 amazing singles onto radio which will feature on Life, Love and Lessons - Cold Nights, Business, Cant Stop Loving You and Something Else, so its the perfect time for a full album of Pieter T songs.


All Pieter T's tracks have been recorded, mixed and mastered at Kog Studio, now in the Waitakere ranges of Auckland. In the studio he's been working with Chris Chetland, Chong-Nee and Regz Riri to ensure the album is of the highest production levels to match his smooth vocal style and beautifully produced beats.
