I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…

I was a babe
You was a man and i was a child.
Oh and the pain
You was a man and I was a child.
You shifted the blame
Onto the child
I never forgave
And if you were here you'd see a man gone wild.
Through the eyes of a child. x3…
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…

at the bridge, let the cheesy lead totally loose al semblance of time-based effect
I LOVE it immediately following the melody solo bridge.
lips-0-flame, no?
it is wiggle music. it does not stand up straight. it has a strong angular attitude. to listen properly, i must tilt my speakers to 72 degrees. no, it still has attitude. it is an addictive wiggle. i wish to follow the wiggle. it is skillfully crafted music. 0x0
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…
A track from my RPM 2011 album 'Glass Wall'.
I just whipped this up in Garage Band using a loop called 'Exotic Sarod' for the main melodic theme (hence the title). The Sarod is an Indian stringed instrument. 'Sarod' means 'beautiful sound' in…
This RPM Challenge album had a bit of a ying-yang vibe to it. Compare "Marbles" to "Constellations" and "Fisher In The Sky" to "Tied By The Lies".
This wasn't planned - it just sort of happened.
For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
It's kind of funny how you can intend to create electronica, and then end up blindly wandering into a different sub-genre. The end result almost sounds like it wanted to be stoner rock.
For more on the song title, look up "Ganzfeld Effect…
Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA's yearly drama fest.
Her husband broke his body…
This song was inspired by a melody my then 2 year old daughter was playing on the harmonica one day back in 2004. I picked up my guitar and strummed along....I kept playing around with it and "Caught in the Rain" was born.
This was one of several songs I recorded in a session on the night of my 29th birthday. I had decided to just start playing and see how many tunes I could write straight through without stopping. My only rule was that these tunes had to be totally…

I wanted to have a banjo fiddle tune but i still haven't learnt to play either instrument, so this is my famous 1 string banjo technique, with mandolin and guitar. It's style is inspired by meeting Morgan O'Kane and Ferd 4 last…

A playful tune made up on the spot as a studio demonstration. Really quite silly! If you listen closely you can hear my wife questioning the use of the small diaphragm mic on the vocal track.
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
you're just a genius that's all there is to it. a mad professor who keeps forgetting to put his trousers on before leaving the house type of genius, but a genius all the same. love the vocal, and the sentiment of said vocal n all. the switching back and fore with the spoken part is perfect, story's told excellently, great jackanory voice. easily a favourite

This tune is pure quality
Love this song. So well played, Alex. Your best ever vocal also, if I may say so.
Warm. I can feel this song from head to toe... Thanks.
like the double track vocals.
Oooo, this is really cool and interesting.
Hey! Thanks man! What?! You didn't get my cd??! ;0)
I like your style, a little "Beatles and BB King mix, very different.
Thanks for the lovely, music. Very inspiring!
Sweet! Reminds me of Ultravox.
Yeay, this is really cool! xx
Bethan can use it, Babe. Thanks x
Oh perfect - thanks! You're so clever! If she doesn't use it, I will, haha!! x
The more I hear this, the more it's OBVIOUSLY brilliant.
i'm liking this song because its about childhood.
I like where this is going Alex
While it's great hearing Bethan and Tess fawn over you, I must say, this is a great track by itself. I love the keys and the slide work.

This is playful! Moves nicely. 'meat on meat' inspiration for a song called cross swords...! way to musically articulate that!
