Prophet 12 desk module and Minilogue XD somewhat ambient leaning

This was an attempt to tame the Lyra. I just set it to some nice tuning and ended up with the notes for the intro to Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 by accident, so I played with that motif

This one was started a couple of years ago – but it needed a substantial bit of rewriting to make it actually singable. It ended up about an elemental nature spirit looking after its minions. However the original inspiration was getting up in…

This is one I wrote a few years back but didn’t really get anywhere with. Its quite jolly. The starting point was the idea of rolling down a hill and hitting a flint, picking it up and keeping it. Lyrics Headlong down the hill, I hit a stone…

Flipside part #2

A bit of blues to test out some acoustic profiles i got for the kemper £7 well spent just me the Gibson and a telephone vioce plug in and a bit of fiddling ....Thanks for listening Like you never thought we could escape the wild wild wood…

Experiment, on the same tuning as the G scape track. There's no much more interest here except it shows more of what madness lies (very nearby) beneath the lyra's surface

Tuned the lyra to a G ionian scale and tried to make something actually harmonic, like, with chords and what not. There's some II-V-I, and IV-V-I there and all. And.. then there's the lyra, doing what it does best.

MISS HER I hardly know her But I miss her more each day...

(A song from a parent to a child) You get yourself a brand new lifetime I tried to give you a compass and a map Nothing in life feels so good as your learner’s permit Something that makes you so happy Maybe it shouldn’t be allowed You…

Well the Cadillac was there when I left..........

Spending sometime with my octave mandolin.

Written during lockdown in 2020. Cheesy commercial AM radio ballad.

Two lines of octave mandolin, line of modified mandocello and drums.

Telecaster thru SY-1 synth pedal

The Fires alight Operator number please I close my eyes every night and I dream I have a hold of you You take me in hand with your crooked wand And Make me feel so blue The night gets dark and starts to bleed it’s emotion over me My…

Another attempt at dungeon synth.

Straight outta Roland. The SE-02 to be precise. The result of a lot of knob-twiddling and switch-flipping. Two separate tracks spread 60%from centre each.

Now this is a really, really old one .....

I think a full year of writing and recording and re-recording might have burned me out a bit but I still have stuff I want to do and finishing the last few songs from teh fourth round of Quarantine Tunes is on the agenda (so is remixing volume…

Day 1 prompt Fearless - Prompt was "Sweet and low". I've really tried to please you You say all things are fine But why is i cant help feeling That really you’re not mine I can see by your look There's something just not said I wish…

Imagine running barefoot over a green bed of wet grass

Experimenting with polychords and harmony I found the fifth dimension thanks to VG99 capabilities.

It's raining hard and ... you need the sun, the waves and the sea.. and dancing on the beach

Things happens recursively in the loop of life

Raindrops are tears from the sky. Tears are raindrops from our minds.

Echoes, Echoes, Echoes. Waterfalls.

This is dedicated to my wonder yellow box , GP 10! A box with a lot of colors inside but yellow on the outside. All instruments played come from GP10

.. Well that sort of Blues got me but with a Funky twist
