With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! To brighter days ahead!!!!
My Old Bones Know Better…
The Quarantine Kiss
Ever since all this shit began
Ive been socially distant
As safe as I can
Aloof and alone
But I’m not lonely
When I stay at home
I’ve got you to hold me
But there’s something missing
Are we being too careful…
The original title was 'Mediocre Fajita' (long story)... It started out with the initial bass riff but I ran out of creativity and left it. Then over the course of Christmas 2020 I got COVID so most of the time I had neither the willingness or…
Love the exploratory feel in this - especially that dreamy mid section. Sorry you guys have been struck by the evil 19. Sending you all the gentle vibes - you have to do RPM again in a few weeks... ;)
I love what you did with this. Always fun to work with you. :) I should probably add that the lyrics were written by Brent Kinder. He produced a whole album of songs with just these lyrics.
A great little collaboration with Greg Connor and Colleen Dillon.
Merry Christmas to Everyone ......
And a silly little video :

Ooh, looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Liking how this melts in to a more mellow sound two thirds of the way through and then ends with a different feel entirely.
well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say!
In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…
Recorded with Classical Guitar, Irish Whistle and Fender Jazz Bass. I wrote this a few years ago and rerecorded it this week.

I've been listening to a lot of [hiroshi yoshimura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7aYjRl_6Zw).
This is played on my Wurlitzer. The other instruments are a prototype version of the additive synth I'm building where you can control the ADSR…
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…
This is only the second song I've ever written on the guitar - I'm playing acoustic and rhythm... and you can tell I'm a beginner 😆 Happily the rest of the instrumentation is a little more polished.
No sugar coating this... It's a very melancholy…
This was all written on the bass - I wanted to get an earthy 70s Rickenbacker bass vibe on this so naturally there's liberal splashes of Moog and Hammond Organ to accompany it.
It's kind of 'prog-lite' and again needs vocals. It's a working…

Little return to an old fave before I dive in to RPM albums! (Still a fave!)
Stirring stuff! She sounds delicate and authentic, and that military build towards the end is fantastic.
Campfire lullaby!
Oosh! :-)
