I decided to make a track in Bitwig using u-he diva, u-he repro, u-he zebra, u-he satin, u-he twangstrom, u-he everything really. And some samples/resampling of earlier work by me, with a generous helping of a very nice analog master sound from…

Who Is My Neighbour - A A J Russe Written sometime in 1992 Recorded 12th March 2022 The Shoebox Demos Vol 1 **** I wrote this 30 years ago when I was 29. There were a bunch of people killing other people. There were refugees. By the…

The basic track was constructed several years ago with Native Instruments FM8 with an M-Audio MIDI controller. More recently I added distorted guitar sounds and theremin samples using Ableton Live 10.

Created on bandlab app using the belibat triphop & renegade ray looper sound fx packs.

Done with my pal Omar Nasr about 15 years ago, I believe. File has been lost, so can't give you much more info than this...

Back in 1985 I was in a band at school - at that time I didn't play an instrument; I was the singer (!) This track was entitled 'Dreaming In Colour' (the music written by band members Giles Hancock and Tim Finch) and I thought it would be fun…

Originally recorded in 2016 as the first song of the Signals | Noise album, but I didn't include it when I made the album public. Now 6 years later I realize this song needs to take its proper place to start the album and set the stage. Sadly…
