This came together really quickly, both musically and lyrically. The chord sequence for the verse was hammered out on the keyboard and the words fitted around the melody.

I had to take a week off work having contracted Bell's Palsy - half of my face was (and still is currently) paralysed - hence having the time to do it & the working title! Lots of Ample Guitar Les Paul electric and Martin acoustic plug-ins…

This one started with the guitar riff. In hindsight, it sounds a bit like Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy but not close enough so I think I've got away with it!
The guitar sounds are from the M guitar plug-ins: Les Paul and Martin acoustic…

I had no melodies or bass lines in my head when I started this one; I just chose a random loop from Apple, put it into a Roland Jupiter 8 and changed the key it was in. It reminds me in parts of a cross between 'Steel River' by Chris Rea and…

An example of 'less is more' - not something normally attributed to my musical sketches! It's very melancholy but benefited from me upping the tempo a bit from its original guise and adding the 'marching drums' bit at the end. Up until that point…

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'!

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.

Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

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
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
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…
