Playing a pair of cracked cymbals with a soft vibes mallet. Different approaches each time (unaltered and mallet head, small metal tin lids to alter sound, playing using mallet handle). Only post alteration is some noise reduction.

I acquired some amazing 80s synth plug-ins for this one - the Prophet 5, ARP2600 and Yamaha DX-7 are all over this track. It started life as a 90 second instrumental for a video I'd produced to promote my business; my wife hated it so I wrote…

A bit of a 'kitchen sink' one... It's another one I play beginner's guitar on tentatively (the lead break & rhythm) The are no vocals (I'm amassing a large amount of songs needing vocals!) but it does feature some more epic 80s synths…

Double tracked cymbal with rubber mallet. I wasn't sure I liked how the first take went, so tried it again. Still couldn't decide which I preferred, so decided to overlap them. Each was recorded in two track mono, so panned them 30% either side…
