So this one is the coda to the 'Waves' project. It started life in the UK in July 2021 and I worked on it during August back in Dubai before completing it back in the UK in September (not a good carbon footprint era!).
It's a fitting end to…

I can't believe I 'forgot' a track that I only started working on a month ago! Anyway, here it is; I was in isolation (again) in July 2021 and had just finished a piece of work for a client that included a section on creating 'moments of magic…

The second and final tune conceived, believed and achieved during my UK business visit in July/August 21. Two standouts for me - I'm proud of the bass lines in this (and love how the Jazz bass sounds) - I did a bit of multi tracking on one part…

Two days into a return to the UK to work in July 21 and I tested positive for COVID - happily I was asymptomatic but it meant 11 days in isolation which is where this tune was born. It started (as often my sketches do) with the bass riff that…

Yet another one that was revisited from the 'half-finished ideas' archive! Again, because it was old the original bass guitar audio file sounded very ropey (shame, as it was done on the Stingray and sounded so... Fizzy!) So I re-did the bass…

I dreamed this song a while ago. Sort of a music circle in a pub. Lots of instruments and percussion and what not. I quite like it :)
(Bass, lyre, bodhran, bongos, shaker, 2 mandolin tracks, multiple clap tracks)

Light, Jazzy and a bit prog in places... I had the season of summer in my mind when I did this one

So my lovely wife bought me a guitar this week... I started by learning some basic and easy chord shapes and this song came together. It's the first one I've done where everything is played by me.
It also features my voice on lead and backing…

Another one driven by several bass riffs I had in my head - The vibe in places reminds of 'Witchita Lineman'!

This didn't go as planned... I wrote this song for my wife Nicola while I was away in the UK working in March 2020... I excitedly played it to her from 3,500 miles away over the ether and.... I think she was expecting a ballad rather than a rather…

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting to post it on the 17th August…

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...

He thought you'd always live forever…

Lyrically it's about the time I had a 'proper' job and how (despite the fact that I liked my immediate team and my role) I could not adapt to the nonsense involved in climbing the greasy pole in a corporate world.
Initially I wasn't sure about…

Sparkly and catchy! Agree about the basslines - and good to hear your vox again too.

Loved the 80s feel - đź‘Ź x
I wanted to go down a different path with this one and try a new vibe altogether; no guitars at all and the bass guitar (my new Fender Mustang) only appears at the end of the song

Well done Matt, some feat that! I'm going to use some as intro music. Thanks
