Seaghosts (wk67/104)

May 26th, 2015 3m 35s

I'm in mimicking mode again. More of a homage actually. This one is my version of a Mark Hollis (former Talk Talk) type song. The guy has one weird voice, and indistinct lyrics. Well, here goes

On Waking, the Sun (wk66/104)

May 11th, 2015 4m 9s

Whether its waking from a bad dream, or a period of confinement, be it spiritual or emotional, there is always the rising sun, the earth turns. Inspired by Philip Glass, I must admit

The Life and Times of The Real Charlie Cheese (wk 65/104)

Apr 11th, 2015 4m 25s

A few years back I had the pleasure of performing some live music to my mate Ollie's art performance as The Real Charlie Cheese. This is a new piece, and for me it evokes that particular character. Charlie is a modern day jester, fool, pied pip

Homeless Child (week 64/104)

Apr 2nd, 2015 3m 39s

I'm a week behind myself. This is a mellow number, guitar, piano and first appearance this year of the Banjo.

Exit John (Renbourn) (week 63/104)

Mar 27th, 2015 1m 44s

When I did this weekly song project first time around in '11, Bert Jansch sadly passed away. This time, the news of John Renbourn passing away reached me today. A true guitar hero and songwriter, founder member of Pentangle, teacher, solo perfo

Eclipsing (Wk62/104)

Mar 16th, 2015 2m 32s

I wrote a song about oddities. Here it is.

On The Wall (Wk61/104)

Mar 8th, 2015 3m 37s

This is week 9, its a pretty chilled one. I tried to get a Zero 7 feel, but you know, without the know how, lol. Anyhow, enjoy.

Going To The Mountain(Wk60/104)

Mar 1st, 2015 3m 17s

This weeks tune is quite upbeat for me. Its a departure from piano and back to the guitar. Superficially its quite upbeat, its got spikes though. Hope you enjoy.

I Thought The Earth Remembered Me (Wk59/104)

Feb 21st, 2015 2m 19s

Sleeping out in a forest, next to the earth, can be a simultaneously beautiful and terrifying experience. In Winter the nights are so long, cold, and the mornings quiet, free of birdsong. In summer, the rains can fool us, make us weary..heats d

Nothing Is Real (Wk58/104)

Feb 12th, 2015 2m 34s

Week 6, and this one is about being a little offensive, and sometimes provocative on social media. Its like a form of tourettes, sometimes I find myself saying all the bad things.

Son (Wk57/104)

Feb 5th, 2015 3m 52s

Ok, another rather downbeat offering. I have two sons, and despite them being fully engaged with and enjoying life, I sometimes despair for what could be their future. Anyhow, I'm sure they will thrive. This song is about these anxieties of min

Drift(Wk56/104)

Jan 31st, 2015 3m 13s

Week four. I'm creating and recording a sound piece every week for a year (again). This is about drift, the snow, the sea, the wave, clouds, the body.

Clearing(Wk55/104)

Jan 22nd, 2015 3m 12s

Week 3, a song, sung, about finding space amidst the clutter of life

Brightness Falls. (Wk54/104)

Jan 15th, 2015 2m 33s

Week two, round two of my weekly noise project '15.Another piano instrumental. I love introducing dissonance, ever so slightly into the mix, its there. This piece is about a shift in states, a flux.

There Are No Pieces. (Wk53/104)

Jan 8th, 2015 2m 12s

A short piece. Instrumental.

Tail Lights

Nov 18th, 2014 1m 38s

A simple, short song about final letting goes and endings.Tail lightsPeering like monsters Against the nightGoodbye,Our time has comeTo an end, nowSilence,Speaks to a future,We never had.So help me,My heart is caught,And it need

To The Dark

Nov 11th, 2014 2m 24s

I've not posted on here in such a long time. This is one of many tunes written from the shadows, from a place of reflection and loss. Hope you enjoy

Nigredo

Oct 17th, 2014 2m 6s

Ok, so this is pretty much a Satie number, I just found myself noodling around with his sound, this happened. Its a piece from a pretty dark place however.

This is one of those eerie autumnal numbers that seem to float around my head at this time of year. I imagine an Atkinson Grimshaw painting when listening to parts of this. I suppose its another song about fighting those little demons that tro
