Andrew Kay - synthetic sounds and laptop rock

cc: OFT,

I have no idea who you are, let alone what you expect me to "make a payment" for. You obviously have my email address, so if there is a "personal matter" that you need to contact me urgently about, you know how to do so. I do not make a habit of calling up people or businesses who don't talk to me but instead want me to talk to them.

If you imagine for some reason that I owe you money, please state what it is you imagine I owe and why you imagine I owe it. If you are simply soliciting for charitable donations, please cease correspondence with me.

I have included in this response, by email carbon-copy, the Office of Fair Trading.

Sincerely,

Mr Kay

Here is me singing a song. It's soft and made of synths.

This is an album I wanted to make since 2006, and most of the songs were written several years ago; I posted demos of Daylight and Long Distance in 2007, but for various reasons I abandoned the project.

After Finishing Touches was done, I went back to work, salvaging what I could. Some songs were reworked more than others. Several were dropped completely. A couple of them are completely new.

The style is mostly pop-rock, with many instrumental sections, and some synth/electronic parts.

As an experiment, I've put this album up for sale on BandCamp. There's still a free download, though, at lower quality (160kbps MP3).
