Breaking Light

World Askew is an album inspired by the loss of empathy, in our relationships with other people, other groups or “tribes”, and the planet we live on. Mostly drone based, it is music to meditate upon all this, and help find our way back home.

Thank the delay gods for the Ibanez DE7

Kind of a cover of that Talking Heads song

A different modus operandi, hence the transposition.

It’s a thang

mostly just jibberish train of thought

Women thumpin and gumpin, I say jump in
I’ve been seaside and jumpin
a-gonna hit that a runnin, you say you’d be too be
I heard a new kind of warning, he say go babe go babe

Turnin’ white bay

A little late night improvisation on prepared tabletop guitar.

Found a cool fx patch I like. Playing the new strat.

A mash created with Kavin/Breaking Light’s Tin Can Dream Home from this weekends Sound-In event. I took a solo lap steel improv, mashed with Kavin’s and manipulated both.

Damn! Feels good to hit the Upload button again!
Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long

fretless, lapsteel, looper, for the cactus

Always wanted to be Dr.Strange. In and out of dimensions,what more could you ask for?
Well,that’s what you get with this one. A short piece,but I think you’ll have to listen to this a few times … and watch out for your woofers!

3 instrumental pieces for guitar & keyboard…

Audio sketch of new graphic score I’m working on. created in garageband.

The verse and the chorus are pretty much the same thing except the chorus is louder and heavier. I consider that a gimmick and a bit of a cheat, but I very often really like the way it works out. Shoot me.

The lyrics are about being afraid of everything. Being alone in the crowded room…read more

Atmospheric Proggy funk Goulash, viewing eggs from far away, probability of Marmalade - Slim. All Hail Eris!

just an instrumental.

I recently discovered three songs we had recorded in 1993 or 1994 shortly before breaking up. These tracks are the only ones (that I know of) that have our new player, the only personnel change we had in over 10 years.

The title is obviously a nod to Longfellow (the band’s songwriter was…read more

Number 6 in my delay series project… and now it’s your turn.

After not having played for a while I was inspired by a Steve Tibbetts sound and tried to recreate it and failed. This came out. The title was indeed misinterpreted words not intended and not really about this piece of music but in a sense was.

From Bethan Reads

12 string guitar looped, processed.

This is from Bethan’s 2014 RPM.
It’s also the first song on my last Wildgeas album.

Enjoy!

With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.

With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi.

It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That’s my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the backing vox.

A slightly lighter fare ?

Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo’s. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)

Drum solos in five-four. Yep.

Decided to upload a work in progress from a heavy side project called : Lab Survivor.

I have a few things in the works coming up, hopefully including an all acoustic RPM. Finally have the studio up and running with some new upgrades :) Wahoo!!!

I hope to be hanging around my favorite…read more
