A new little ditty ......

These tracks (Easyeverything) were made while trying out some new gear; Moog Grandmother and Elektron Model Samples specifically. I tried to make the sort of Chillwave/Vaporwave I like to use as background music, while trying out arps and sequencers…

Picture an old tavern just up the way, and music spilling into the street. My first REM submission! Put in for April.

RPM 2022

RPM 2022

Sky is black as pitch now Moon as blood is glowing In this blood-soaked hellscape As you might expect there is a presence Out of the grave Out of the night Out of your mind One’s a mass of maggots One’s underwear’s showing All of…

Human depths are darker.

Undertow T Boudreau I heard a speaker of truth teaching our youth and telling all kinds of lies So i challenged his lessons asked all kinds of questions and slowly he started opening my mind Now i’m going down to the riverside Lord wont…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 18. I still have two more songs to mix but as of right now this is hands down my favorite of the batch (spoiler alert, I think I might be saying that about the two songs that are left as well). Usually when I…

They are already here.

I've lost my way - somewhere between the dusk and the crack of day.

I never saw this Nintendo cartridge before, and why are backwards-talking voices coming from it?

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022** Song number 12 Written Friday 18th February 2022 **** I had NOTHING. I decided to rest today with so much time left and only 3 to do. I had this title, but no... must... rest However, Madame La…

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022** Song number 11 Written Thursday 17th February 2022 **** Feels like I'm on the last lap now. Only 3 more needed. This one came from a suggestion from Mrs R this morning. I didn't quite fancy it, but…

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022** Song number 5 Written Thursday 10th February 2022 **** What can I say? Mrs R likes it. I knew she would. Scheduling-wise, songs per day, I've now caught up with having missed the first 5 days of…

Sunshine fill my soul Let the blues be the first to go Sunshine can’t complain If life shows us a little rain Chorus Sunshine through the window At first morning’s light All the stars fade away When sunshine gets so bright When sunshine…

String arrangement of the music from the XR NL fall 2021 Climate Rebellion video series. This is a slightly tweaked version of the background music used on the New Year’s video (https://vimeo.com/662578943).

Written for Novembers Record Every Month project. I was feeling frustrated about COP 26 in Glasgow and our joint failure to act on climate change, despite the visible effects around the world and here in my own city.

I got nothing. Insert some random post-apocalyptic sci-fi narrative here, involving Speak And Spells achieving sentience and taking over the world, only to be thwarted by the Amish. Alternatively, "Based On A True Story" something something.

Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.

well never go back to back come on yer!

There are too many battles to fight in life, sometimes it's best to just walk away. Written & recorded Aug 2021 as part of the RPM Challenge: Record Every Month Challenge Remixed: Sept 25, 2021

whatch out for the Boom Boom Beat.........

Reflective indigo groove with some summer strings & sensual sax. Written with John French https://edenshard.bandcamp.com/album/the-cobblepot-engine

Parameters are still in flux, so I couldn't exactly recreate it. Basically, there's no attack or delay on the fundamental, giving it a percussive attack. A logarithmic amount of delay and attack on the harmonics, so they swell in brightness…

Run n Gun chemical breaks

When you C reach the Em point When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G You C feel it Em inside When it F becomes so C clear There’s Am nothing that G you can C do F Hold on to G memories…

So the lyrics come from another age, but they sounded so relevant to the recent lockdown world, that I decided to stitch them into a completely different track. So, there ya go!

Get closer in search of life but not too close.

(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…
