What the hell's a djembe? No, me neither. So it gets an airing in the intro. Tried to hit a just-behind-the-beat edginess to fit in with the just-behind-comfortable intent of the song.
Titles are hard.

A bit of Frankenstein of a song, lyrics cobbled from old lyric fragments, with variations on bass and melody and piano motifs, like I couldn't make my mind up where it was heading. Something about it, so has made the cut!

The song's about betrayal: about mixing with the wrong crowd, who then drop you from a great height. It's a love song. Maybe I should find a twee skirmish instead of relying on that Muse.

The song started life as more sonic doodles using the Numanesque 1979 synth emulators -- so if you think it's 80s, you're a year out!
Was also working on transitions from verse to chorus (as I've listened to too many fawmers doing this rather…

TL;DR: more guitary than my preferred synthery. With production practice too.

Ditty with jangles, bass and celloish thing (all Halion) and plenty of triplets. [Drum sounds from Groove Agent; edited using the new Drum Pattern editor. New for Cubase that is ... but every other DAW has had for 20 years, I suspect.] Vocal synths…

I sold my upright piano earlier this year: it had been underused for a while and my head's been buried in the DAW for a long time. So played arpeggios into DAW instead. Then quantised them within a inch of their lives. More doodles with the Backbone…

This started out from some sound design doodlery. A couple of the synths I've been using have some non-standard routing options, so I've been getting better acquainted. They're not modular, though the Reason hosted stuff does have visible, virtual…

TL;DR: it's got percussion in it.
I had an idea for percussion-heavy song: that I found tough to articulate because it's not a usual thing for me. More practice required.
I dialled back the bpm as the percussion became (even more) a wall of…

I wear black
It reflects on my mood
Stirring, restless, unfulfilled

Thrown around town
Wind in your face
Picking up discards, push handcarts
In this town
Jump overboard
You're pushed overboard
There clearly is a difference: you're flotsam lost or jetsam cold

'Miserere' is a melancholic song about the absence of god that sounds like synth pop but with harmonies from a church choir.

So tenderly cleanse me though I don't believe
Through your dark deeds you cannot…

Feeling that something's looming
Why, I feel low sounds in my head that shouldn't be there
And when the storm it breaks
O'er the hill, 'bove the tree high
Crack and spark now to fade
Get inside
Leave home, keep dry
All around you is…

In my head
All the time
Relentless
Tieing me down
In my room
Now and forever on repeat
It won't leave me
I reject those who help me
I'm ashamed:
You think me weak
It's lasting then
Did I mention
It destroys me
All of the time…

Time was when I used to see you hiding
Your face so clear amongst the crowd
Time was I could sense you in the same room
As if you'd called my name out loud
Don't kid yourself, you've not got ESP
Your face so clear amongst the crowd
