I know I should be working on National Solo Album Month, but I'm two timing this month and working on more re-recordings as well. This is the first song for volume three. I wrote this in 2016 during my June album in a month project. I had…

When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins Autumn leaves have all D gone And the C geese are all G flying Cause it’s time to move D on When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins We’ll sit by the Em fire We’ll C talk about our dreams, our D hope…

A very soft cover of the Barenaked Ladies' hit, Brian Wilson. Their (excellent) tune is normally played with gusto. The live version on the Rock Spectacle album is dripping with energy, and that's usually how I like to play it. But today I thought…

Didn’t know what to call this one, so Jolly Hockeysticks it is!! Great to dust off the old Poly Synth and it all feels a bit 80’s cop /comedy/daytime chat show

Still on the fence whether he's coming or not. My money being spent on dumb bets lol

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.

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.

*Remixed for volume* Watching the clouds go by....

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…

Two tracks recorded with my bohlen-pierce travel guitar in cubasis on an ipad using Zoom UAC-2 interface and ammooon wireless set. Reverb is cubasis default.

Another track from my album Strange Beauty

Cassette tape loops, mixed and manipulated to digital.

I began having guitar tuition with the rather amazing Nathan King of Level 42 a few weeks ago and this is really the first song in which guitar is the main focus - It needs vocals but I'll add it to warbling list when I'm back in the UK

I recorded the Gibson straight with the SE Magneto condenser mic into the Scarlet and then vocal on seperate track you may hear the bloody dryer in the background if you listen carefully but this one had to be done there and then or i'd forget…

This was supposed to be the centerpiece of this year's National Solo Album Month, but instead it's a complete turd and I'll probably stop acknowledging it's existence nine minutes after I finish uploading it. It's just a dog. Rhythm guitars…

Took a few weeks to sort this one out, guess I got there in the end.

On the scale from crap to hit single, this one probably lands somewhere around B-side. I like the chorus, I like the bridge, I don't like the verse which sucks since I used it three times. Oh well. From a production inside-baseball standpoint…

This was the last song I came up with for this year's National Solo Album Month and I think I'm going out on a good note. Sure it uses the cliche of switching between major (G) and the relative minor (Eminor) a lot in the chorus, but it works…
