Lockdown 2020. This was a suggestion by our friend Paul Matthews (check out his page: https://alonetone.com/IlshamOrchestrate ) Paul performed the piano and programmed the drums, strings and guitar tracks. Billy picked up the bass for the…

This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard. Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…

Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show's current songwriting challenge, "write a song with two words in the title starting with P". The term 'pseudo' means 'false' or 'pretend.' Pseudo-psychology, therefore, refers to a psychological practice…

my return to innocense

An older track.... remixed in Notion 6.

A symphonic overture. The piece has a fast, rhythmically propulsive 'A' section, a contrasting meditative 'B' section, and a recap with some extensions. This piece was a finalist prize winner in the 2008 'Realize Music' contest, an international…

I wish I could come up with lyrics that make at least a little sense

Here's another new one Erwin B - bass Bingsolex - lead guitar KC - guitars, vocals, keys & mix ------------------------------------------------- I don't take no for an answer I want to know what is true Don't be a tightrope dancer…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me. It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…

So for the second in the Fusion Soundscape project, I envisaged a few characters meeting up in one of the lonely passageways in the Underground near midnight, and having a bit of a soulful jam....! Hopefully have captured a little of the bleakness…

Another in an endless string of recordings that would have been saved by a competent singer. Maybe. I like the individual pieces of this song, but I don't think I like the song as a whole. Okay... maybe I don't like the chorus at all. I don…

Well its such a fun thing to do so go out and turn up your radio . Ill be listening for you

The Good Old Days Greg V1 G Hot summer evening windows down D Nothing to do but drive around Am Turn up the song on the radio C Cruise around nice and slow Colleen V2 G Wind in my hair and my fav tune on D I sing the verse and…

A new one Hope you like it.... KC -------------------------- When the plans you made don't turn out right When the goals you set are out of sight Your bank account on an all time low When you ain't got a place to go Time to get stoned…

I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don't do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the…

OK, so after the Lockdown Orchestrations project, I have moved to a new series of pieces I am calling Fusion Soundscapes. What I am trying to do here is paint a picture using some sound effects, and with a mix of orchestral and electric/rock…

If you were to come over to my house and watch television you would think it was 1963.

nuclear bomb on nagasaki - to remember

(Remastered 22/10/2021) I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well... So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…

august 06th - hiroshima day

A bit different than what I usually come up with, but I thought it'd be interesting to experiment a bit
