Lady Jane's one woman band! No loops today - I got all my instruments out - all being guitar (played with plectrum in neck without realising - oops!), bongos, rain stick, ting sha bells, tibetan singing bowl and tinkly bell thing from my miniature…
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)
Beat and sax are from Mixcraft.
Enjoy! xox
Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.
The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…
Aye, that Captain is a creeper, a'skulkin' down irie morning.
'N'ah cannah tell from the way he is lookin' at you, never you mind the peacock feather in 'is hand, but, yea cannah be sure that his intentions are matching your ambitions, that, 'e be sure to sell you your hand, after you've had a hook fitted to replace:
in fact, the Captain will *serve* you your hand, parboiled with a side of parsnips, under the irie moon, if'n you 'aven't found something to eat, by then.
Yaargh.

Everything is in there but the kitchen sink I think. Used midi for GB synth sounds, choirs, bass, Kontakt strings and organ, piano,horns, sax lab for sax, godin…
"No Need"
Music and Lyrics by OsCKilO 2013
I had never seen a place so cold...
Glad I don't live there any more.
Happy that I like the simple life...
Bright lights.
Sun and Moon.
Any Star that lead away from you.
Now I move on, not moved…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!

Another in this Poem Me song sessions. Trying to suit the song to the person is difficult when you don't know them - for this one I have no excuses - my collaborator, Lady Jane!
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation
quiet down now, world
bring the lights down, world
we're going to paint a little
pitch black moment
hush those city lights
those neon lullabies
we're off and dreaming with our
eyes wide open…
A noodle that turned into a doodle which turned into a song....thats what you get when you watch David Attenborough's Africa on TV................
No Rain (Lyrics)
The earth was scorched as dry as stone
nothing anywhere wanted to grow
the Devil…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

After a long day at work, I wanted to do something…
A rough demo
Guest vocal - Sarah Marshall
Violins played by Kate Brennan
Suck and you'll see
A bitter aftertaste of us
It's all gone slightly sour
And past it's sell-by hour
Throw them all out
Make a wish and close your eyes
What have you to…
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
