I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…

I made this song in a day. The vague simplistic lyrics are about a struggle between want and must.

A better mix. I pumped up the trumpet, bass and guitar. It was just annoyingly low.
Thanks again to Benny for the trumpet parts.

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

This song is one that got left on the cutting room floor back in early 2005. It's fun to play, but the drums are almost too mechanical (they're real) for my taste. I thought I would finally let it out of the attic, even though it doesn't have…

I worked on this one off and on through '05 and '06. I did numerous demos of it (just me and an acoustic) before finally recording it proper. Originally I intended it as a slower, more ethereal (read:reverby) piece, but it just wasn't cutting…

Well, this one is b***s to the wall rock and roll, gfox style. ;P
I just wanted to do this basic loud chunka-chunka riff with the thumping kick-drum. However, the refrain (this song has no chorus) was something that I really liked singing. For…

I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!
The musical parts were recording using my Kurzweil SP3X…

A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

this music is a reflection of my darker side, i wrote it when i first became a vegan and took mind to animal rights. i guess everyone has anger somewhere in them.

The stars leaned down to whisper
and fell out of the sky.
And darkness streaked with wonder
now pours into my eyes.
And though the night is warm,
cold waters move to fill
dark pools in rocky shorelines.
The sea is black and still.
So now I stand…

Going through the various things I had kicking around before the RPM Challenge and before I upgraded to Live 8, I found this unfinished Live 7 thing...

A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.

Another track dug out of mothballs...
This one probably got stuck under the weight of all the effects... cpu overloads, sound drop outs, the works.
Rendering it took a long time but it seems to have come out ok.

Your emotions are aglow
I must find out
I've got to know
I never thought I could love again
It's been so long…

Obviously inspired by Steve Reich (in the afternoon). The song would have been longer, but a nasty hard disk failure took out the original wavs. An alternative title could be Techno-dog Eats Homework.
