This is a recording my brother and I did together in about 2008. He played the piano and I’m on viola. He passed away on 05 December 2020. We all miss him terribly - I’m glad we took the chance to make some small recordings like this. He…

Oh brother Can you hear my words From that strange place Beyond this plane Or maybe, just maybe There’s nothing, there’s no one To hear my call My tears The knife of tomorrow Without you beside her She wilts, she falters She falls…

We spent 5 cold hours in a liferaft in Jervis Bay. It was... an experience. So I wrote a song about it, as I tend to do :P

I'm not actually sure what this song is called; in my head it has always been "Strawbie's Song" - Strawbie was my wonderful grandma (dad's mum) and this was her favourite hymn, so every once in a while mum sits down at the piano and I dig out…

This is a song by Geoff Bullock called I am Carried - this is one of my favourite ones to play on the viola as some of the harmonies are so low and lovely :D Enjoy.

I think this is my favourite Christmas Carol :) Most fun to play, anyway. Less repetitive and nicer harmonies than the others.

To be perfectly clear - THIS IS A COVER, I do not claim to have written this song. Death Cab For Cutie did. I just did it with ukulele / viola :)

So at the moment I am working in my local emergency department, and was recently verbally abused and threatened by a patient. At the time I was a little shocked, but not really offended. Later on, however, I thought to myself - 7 years of tertiary…

Viola and piano. I wrote this piece in two sittings. In the first I was in a strange, almost bad mood. When I returned to it about a week later, it was time for a key change. You'll hear. Have a listen. Hope you like it :)

Cover - I do not claim to have written this song. Another of my favourites; Somewhere over the rainbow. Enjoy :)

I think the lyrics are pretty self explanatory :) Just a Dream (Vlad & Me - 2012) I had a dream the other night It freaked the hell Outta me Though not for all the usual fears I was just afraid of you For you're my friend that's what you…

I love this piece - by Satie. I hope the classical buffs out there don't think I've butchered it too badly :)

Sometimes, don't you just feel so grateful to be alive? I wrote this song in just such a mood. Beautiful Place (Vlad & Me - 2012) The world is a beautiful place The world is a beautiful place The world is a beautiful place The world is a…

This was my first ever experiment with Garage-band on my mac. Layer after layer of voice and viola. It's kind of about how one tries to move forward after the death of a loved one. There's some indefinable point when, instead of crying every time…

This is a cover - I do not claim to have written this. Having said that - this also is one of my favourites; so haunting and pretty. Good on Gary Jules. And a great addition to the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Enjoy.

Best Coast - I love these guys. And particularly this song. I included a bit of cello in this one. (This is a cover, I do not claim to have written this song myself)

This was my first piece for the ukulele. I wrote it for a German friend who I first met in Perth; she would tell me all about the snow at home at Christmas-time, and it sounded lovely. This is the sound that came out after I spent an afternoon…

This was my 2nd song for the ukulele. I wrote it in a time where I wasn't quite happy (as you might hear from the tone of the song), and was struggling a little bit with some things that I felt I couldn't quite express. So here it all is, in metaphorical…

I've seen the band Alpine a couple times live - super fun! This is my favourite song of theirs, obviously a little bit different on viola.

This is one of my favourite songs - by Jon Brion. (This is only a cover.) I just really appreciate the lyrics: You've gotta hope That there's someone for you Strange as you are Who can cope With the things that you do Without trying…
