Back in 1985 I was in a band at school - at that time I didn't play an instrument; I was the singer (!) This track was entitled 'Dreaming In Colour' (the music written by band members Giles Hancock and Tim Finch) and I thought it would be fun…

Well, my entry for RPM 2022 went from LP to (a very short) 4 song EP but this track I think has bags of potential. It was a discarded idea from a few years ago that was lurking in my 'half-baked' Logic folder but something in it ignited my creative…

So with renewed focus on RPM 2022 I set about at least creating an EP if an album wasn't possible... This track was written and recorded over a period when there seemed to be relentless storms following each other without respite. Power cuts aside…

So... I entered RPM 2022 and experienced a double-whammy - A massive influx of work and a prolonged period of absolutely no inspiration or creativity! So this is only the second track of a project that's now likely to be an EP rather than an album…

Another one extracted from the pre-COVID world of joy from circa 2019. I wrote and recorded some this in the UK and added a new bass line and synths in Spring 2021 in Dubai.
I'm massively proud of this tune - a straight-ahead rock track with…

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…

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…

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

The piano melody was in my head so I committed it to the voice recorder on my phone - the rest of the song was built around it

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…

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…

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…

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.

Loved the 80s feel - 👏 x

Well done Matt, some feat that! I'm going to use some as intro music. Thanks
A 50-something bloke noodling around with a bass guitar in a posh shed. I made lots of music between 2019 and 2021 whilst in Dubai under the name of dxbisolation.
Now back in blighty ‘enjoying’ things…
