3rd Song for RPM. Getting this done was filled with late night torture. You tried so hard You tried so hard But you’re not there You’re not there You’re not there You’re not there You made your way Oh you made your way But…

It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be! In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…

This is the first track from RPM 2024. See you in March with the rest of the album!

Punny title to hint at the sound origin; the sounds left on a reel of tape (or in this case, two different ones) after it has undergone a bulk-erase procedure - placing it on a device that creates a strong electromagnetic field that scrambles…

Shhh....

Another song I worked on for Bethan Mathis. She had come up with this funny song, and asked for some music to go along with it. I got a bit carried away, but I think it all works. Since Bethan has recently removed her account, she gave me permission…

Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do.... Cold Winter Moon Oh cold winter moon And the wind that blows Bring me a change For my weary soul Take away this longing That fills my heart Something is over…

Sassy Nation version! Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.

There was a time when We'd be scuttling, running hard Cops on tail And grins on faces There was a time when We'd be aching Bleeding slow All worth the time incarcerated They said we wouldn't go far Looks like they got it right then…

Sometimes I like to play a little jazz/bebop stuff.

With lovely Keith Landry. Unfortunately, the studio I had at the time was on its last legs and the recording is a terrible quality, but I've never been able to get the vocal to sound better. Probably because I'm now over the awful thing* I did…

Four different tracks of Roland SE-02 controlled via MIDI by a Casio DH-100. Choosing different voices on the Casio causes settings to change on the Roland, which were then tweaked a little. Submitted to Sound-In "Roleplay Improv" for 1-8/2/2024.
