On Wednesday I decided to make another performance video live in my studio for the third song from my Synthetic Emotion EP.
It was shot on my iPhone and uploaded to You Tube via You Tube Capture App, which is a great App to have as it is very simple and quick to use. There are no edits or overdubbing of audio on this video, so what you see is what naturally happened when Chris (Mechanical PR) pressed 'video' on my phone. I am not, as yet, prepared to go out live. I would need two keyboard players who have a strong understanding of programming and drum machines, along with being able to sing backing vocals. So in the meantime I am beginning to write more songs and as I mentioned in my latest Newsletter (which you should have received if you have joined the mailing list) I am in the process of compiling songs and ideas for a forthcoming album which I would like to be released in 2016. Before this new album release, I would like to release a single which shall include two exclusive remixes of one song taken from my debut album and one song taken from mySynthetic Emotion EP. These songs I have not as yet decided on. So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the releases which are on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play etc and the performance videos for Manchine and the one I filmed 3 months ago for 'I Die For You'. Bye for now :) M.I.C.C.I. She's Got Claws x #shesgotclaws #syntheticemotion #garynuman #electronicmusic #dancemusic #newmusic #amazon #google #itunes

Humans - A few weeks ago I was delighted to see the broadcast of the Channel 4 series 'Humans' as it touches on the subject of Synthetic Emotion. It confirms to me that I am not the only one who is thinking about the future of our technology and how synthetic humans will become part of everybody's lives. Synthetic Emotion is about the creation of the first humanoid who is programmed to feel human emotion and to develop as a human being through experiencing love, loss and loneliness. So my EP seems to be bang on trend with lots of interest and reviews. To say that this is an exciting moment is an understatement and yet it's a little nerve wracking. I would love to hear from you and your comments regarding the EP and what your favourite song is.

It comes as little surprise, then, that electronica is at the heart of this eclectic act. But that’s just the start: Ricocheting NIN-esque hardcore sensibilities collide with sultry, sometimes hauntingly vulnerable, vocals throughout Synthetic Emotion. Conceptually, it has touches of Bowie’s emotional explorations with Brian Eno, with some slightly dark humour a la Daft Punk or Air. Keeping it real and minimal so as not to detract from the off the wall story of human and machine relationships is an essential consideration in the sharp instrumentation, powerful vocals and truly off the wall soundscapes contained here. Completely performed, composed and produced by She’s Got Claws’ own Automata studios, using no additional musicians or sampled drum loops, this is clearly made by someone with overwhelming talent and originality. The robot-esque vocals without use of vocoder or other such manipulation are wonderfully organic. Despite my, and others comparisons, Synthetic Emotion is a unique piece of post-modern, verging on gritty electronica not to be underrated." -Nick Serre (Formerly of Future Music/ Guitarist/ Rhythm) Synthetic Emotion EP - 4 July 2015 on iTunes, Amazon & Google Play.
