This is an ancient Christian hymn which I have put my own melody to. I chose the verses from different translations of the Latin based on how they fit the melody.

A manipulation of the raw data of a photograph of a soldier at a grave, originally chosen for tonal reasons. I haven't slept for days; some of that comes through. Play as loud as war.

This is from the Gospel of Luke.

Ave, Maria
From heaven flew Gabriel, angel of God
You were in awe and afraid
Hail, full of grace, he said, you have found favor
To you shall be born the Savior…

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

I wrote this song after reading the book, Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker. At the end of the story the main character recalls the first verse of a hymn. I looked it up on the internet and learned that it is a hymn by an Englishman, William Cowper…

Veejay and I wanted to do something special for our dad for Father's Day in 2012, so we took one of the songs that he wrote when he was much younger and covered it. In a way, we are recognizing our genetic musical heritage.

Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…

Inspired perhaps a little too obviously by one side of Pink Floyd's 'Animals' album, this track started out as filler and quickly sucked in much of my effort during the month of February. Good thing it turned out to be my 'just about favorite…

A song without longing
Echoes through the café
All the drunks, all the junkies
Sing as if they were praying
The overweight waitress
Dances, plays air guitar
You left me with nothing
But just a beer at the bar
On a cardboard beer coaster
You…

In 2001 my most recent band, Hoss Williams, recorded a four-song demo, and each of the four bandmembers contributed one song to it. This was mine. It's loosely about growing up in the country and being a teenager ripping around in clapped-out…

Bethan wanted to make a lullaby for her new grandson and asked me for to make a music track for her to sing to.
Tess added 2 extra riffs and pitched it down as well. She also did the mixing and the vocal arrangement.

Original song kind of in response the Pussycat Dolls song.
I'd like to dedicate this to Eddie Van Halen, for being such a massive inspiration to a generation. If you're reading this Eddie, thanks. And please don't sue me for stealing your riffs.

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

Another in my "music for drones" series.
This one started life as an "off cut" piano phrase imported into my Tukuramu Reaktor instrument and "played live" as I altered the pattern, grain length & density, filter cutoff, and delay feedback…

Yeah. I know French. Sure. Croissant voulez-vous.

We Get Old
We used to go out in the snow
When we felt the urge to go
With every passing season we get old
The tricks we used to play
In the snow where I would lay
Made a promise…

With the flick of a switch when the light ran away
And the last scraps of daylight abandoned
Instead of feeling secure inside the cozy retreat
There were noises just outside on the landing
When the shadows crept through the deepening gloom
A twinkle…
