First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...

Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…

Love it - Your "throwaways" are comparable to my highest quality prized possession recordings (Actually, I haven't even had one of those yet!) :)
Great track!

Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
This is a fairly simple guitar part I came up with a couple days ago and my friend talked me into recording it. It needs words- perhaps that will come later.
Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
lots of different things I tried in this one, mostly in structure and vox, as well as harmony and texture. I guess it is a progressive type song with some gloom.
the intro is a short bass thing with effects called nectar, its like 25 sec.s…

Wake up in the morning, I’m still in my cloths
I got one eye open but the other wont go
Barely can remember the night before
Except for how you threw me out the door
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey
I think I’m in trouble again…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
It's three mics. A Rode NT1000 large condensor for the vocal. The guitar had two SM57s on it, one at the 12th fret, one just below the bridge, panned hard left and right.
If I had more condensors I'd use them on the guitar - when I track things separately I always use the Rode on an acoustic (unless it's a resonator, that pushes a condensor too hard) - using the 57s like this seems to produce are fair amount of hiss!

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
great track. Love it.
This is really good - nice production and a catchty melody. Thanks also for listening to my own songs and taking the time to comment. Paul
Delightful!
Much kudos, much kudos indeed! =)
great song!
another nice one
Good song! Best thing of my day so far, well except for 'I Like This Girl'!
OMG, this is simply awesome! Oh man I am smiling!!!
D'ya know, this is such a great song and performance.
yeah! that's the ticket! priceless!!
I really like this song...everything about it hits the spot. So glad you didn't throw it away.
Came back for anothe listen:)
wickedly good, simple as ever, but sounding just right. Great touch on this one AR
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF in a good grooving way. Sensational man, sounds wicked done up like this. This could be huge on the radio right now.
Great song....

Smoking track - I could listen to this one all day, bud!

Aww, fabulous. Where's the fave button when it's not working? (I clicked it anyway...)
Woof - some cool playing right here.
Oh yeah. Nice one guys.
I was thinking that (intense backing track) - I had to listen twice to "block" that out and listen to you! Ace vox.
Tasty. It works like this - it's a good listen as it is - but I'd like to hear what vocals you come up with.
Well, my right foot moved a fair bit... does that count as doing the Tiggy jig? Nice one.
Woo yeah, like it.
I'd fave it, but the button doesn't seem to work for me anymore...
Love this.
This hits the spot. I prefer brandy meself (and vodka martini) but this makes me wonder. Love the choruses.
Wow! Epic stuff.
Oh yeah, this is a tasty one alright.
Haunting. Love the woodwind (and horns?) that come to the fore later.

Oh yeah, nice one. Big sound. You've got those synths and guitars working well together.
Love it
Oh yes, another gorgeous one. I think it's my favourite so far.
lol
A fine set of tracks. Looking forward to you posting more.
Ah! I seem to have listened to them back-to-front... But yes, this would be a great opener.
