Not bad. Not great. Nothing special, but kinda fun. Super simple. The verse and the chorus are the same riff in different keys. I'm surprised how badly the vocal lags. It's so far behind the beat you could fly a plane through the gap. I…

Songs with long, drawn out endings that don't quite relate to the rest of the song is kinda of a theme this month. This one fits that bill. It's nothing special. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's going on the NaSoAlMo album, but if I…

A Dream Theater cover recorded at home during Lockdown 2020. Piano intro composed & performed by Paul Matthews. All music performed and recorded by Paul Matthews. Vocals performed and recorded by Jai. Music & video produced by 13111y…

Blimey, I raided the achive ... this must be almost 20 years old or something like that, don't time fly .......

Oh go on then, have two from the achive .... got say, I think maybe we need a bit of this right now ........

National Solo Album Month continues with another ho-hum rock song with an overly drawn out ending. I almost like the chorus. Actually, I almost like the whole song. It's just kinda... there. The ending was supposed to be a one bar phrase repeated…

A song called losers lose, written in November 2020. Will history know what I was talking about? Probably. Hopefully. Sloppy, weak, plodding. I kinda like the chorus. I kinda like the break in the middle. I definitely like the harmonies…

Back in early Lockdown, my fellow band mates from the band Dangerous Things, Jai and Rod, suggested that we did a Lockdown Video, with a cover of this iconic Bon Jovi song....the vid is on You Tube, but here is the track, and one that I have added…

One of those pieces that seem to develop out of simple test recordings. An earlier iteration with less effects sounded a bit like movie bullet effects which inspired the title, that was expanded to fit the Surrealism theme of this week's (12-19…

Music for a video for sound-in Celtic harp vs feedback guitar. Go figure

Another Sound-In piece for 12-19/11/2020. This time, a recitation, three times, of a strange phrase my mother was wont to use on occasion, that I don't even know if she knew its origin. A brief search has shown that it may be from a parody of…

Same technical set-up as with Too Late; this time just random vocalisations. Also submitted to Sound In for 12-19/11/2020.

Thelonius Monk

audio from the virtual open mike last night. Improv in DADGAD tuning

three guitar tracks with sy-300 and samples with effects.

Mountain dulcimer response of jubilance in dark times.

4 track cassette tape loops of live dulcimer processed and manipulated in Pure Data. For Sound-In Cassette Event.

This was meant to be a sort of throw away thing to stick at the end of the album, but now that it's done I kinda dig it. I set up a drum loop and set up my delay pedal (a Wampler Faux Tape Echo 2.0) with a crap load of repeats and just started…
