This is the first original piece I've recorded. In 2001 when I was living in Toronto I met a girl called Amy Jones. She was and remains just a friend, but I thought her name sounded great for being part of a song lyric! So the song isn't about…

Radiohead have been my favourite band for a long time and this is the first song of theirs I really loved. I regularly sing this one at karaoke nights. The recording is me in my bedroom with my keyboard, and is based on the acoustic version from…

Shockingly I first became aware of this track while watching the 2009 film Watchmen (I'm a bit rubbish like that!). It is of course a beautiful Simon and Garfunkel song and although I get the accompaniment slightly wrong I think I've done a pretty…

Every male artist under the sun has a version of this classic Cohen track it seems. I am no exception! This one I only uncovered recently with a bad vocal track. I removed the vocals and stitched on some new ones, but it's a placeholder only…

This is the first thing I ever recorded using Garageband. The echoey effect in the background is the computer's processor fan - I'm playing the guitary sound back through the speakers! It's a slightly slow version of I Will by Radiohead and I…

The piano on this track is from my late grandmother's house - it's the piano I had growing up but eventually my gran gave us her grand piano and took our old upright. I think my brother has it now. Anyway, it's a dull, serviceable old beast but…

So this was my attempt at being nostalgic. I grew up in the UK in the era of Britpop where soulful working class bands sang about not very much in Northern accents. The words are pretty much meaningless, the drum beat is repetitive, the piano…

Another Radiohead cover. One of the first things I spent a lot of time working on. It's a five-piece a capella version, and my hard work really shows in the underlying harmony parts which are very tight.
Sadly the melody part isn't quite up…

Been awhile since I've done some decent remixing, so I give you another NES classic. Castlevania. a game created for the NES by Konami back in 1986, with great music composed by Kinuyo Yamashita, was one of very few classics I managed to beat…

Written for my sister. A song about really not knowing what to and feeling lost. Wishing someone would give you the answer, but knowing deep down you wouldn't listen anyway.

This song was made in the month of June 2011, and is supposed to be a sort of frenetic fusion of styles.

I had writers block. So as I was sitting in my room... I saw a ceramic black chicken I painted at my grandma's house when I was four. So I wrote this song.

a song about lust...

It was in the breath we didn’t breathe, baby
In the hunger of your sigh, stirred

Trevor posted the song onto the Songcrafters forum. I loved the haunting feel of it and wanted to add an atmospheric keyboard part. Here's the outcome...

I abuse Jeff Lynn's (ELO) wonderful song.
I sing it a minor 3rd lower then originally recorded by ELO since I wanted to use my 12-string guitar and it is a lot easier to play tuned down to reduce the tension a bit.

Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
