Playing with my new Zoom B1X effects processor. Synthesized drums are from the B1X. Bassline is a panicky one I like to play. The guitar part I just came up with. Altogether I think I like it -- anyway it gets my pulse up!

Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)

I made a silly little song in French about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy `:-) Recorded on my phone, hope it sounds ok on the website!

C'comme ça, i'faut s'nourrir…
