bit of this, bit of that, bit of gradiose

Crowbar v2

just testing me new audio interface

i'll do a better one eventually: warm me voice up, bit of violin, maybe even do the guitar right :D

Fade To Grey (roof as fook test)

song init, rough take/ note

Of all the cold and dark that run away and hide
I seek inside the woods
Where flies that dance between the shades of trees at night
Never seem to land on you

How bizarre that you confuse your hopes with dreams at night
No one even ever knew
A guitar that gently weeps and hold you warm and tight
If only there was room for two

Of All The Cold And Dark

Messing about late at night whispering down the mic

Doodlevox

ever seen Gremlins 2?  :)

All I Saw

It's the lighting, it's the hiding away.
So surprising, that I find you today.
All I saw was, guts and awe cause
a frightening mistake.

It's the lightening, it's the storm in the way.
The surrender, the flag's whiter today
All I saw was, trust and more 'cause
I was happier that way

All I Saw Was

was worried about posting this theft and all - a song dear to me as i wrote the guitar part 19 years ago.

Whenever a musician hears it they haven't a clue what's being played except the bassline so i'm safe :)

i'm sure i had a better mix, will re-record on my own studio one day when i'm not pissed up on whiskey :) true fact: some of the backing vocals at the end are me saying, 'Hon-da Hon-da Hon-da' like the car

That Thing

The slink and the slide, oh the sound, oh my.
Is there echo, black soul sale/sail?
The last sound, wants tomorrow.
You're sitting in a crackpot world, oh

You've been sipping at the bottle, 
you've been sipping at yourself or someone else
You've been sitting on hope anyway

And I will be after all
And i'll turn cranks for them

Fortune tonight for your life

That Thing - i've run out of room on soundcloud bye bye (69 tracks - nice :) )

I don't know what to think of it - what do you think? please comment

        It just represents a story

Peppermathematics    (for T.Payne, L.Nicklin, C.Guida & Crispy)

This is the first track I made on music software other than MUSIC for PS1. About 8 years ago now. I've always been obsessed with repetition and notes that clash - that was the basis, but also a sandbox track for me to get used to the new software. I know some people on soundcloud look for unusual compositions and so I'm putting this out for them. To the rest of you I can only apologise :) 

Scribbling in the sandbox (a build with no drop) *Warning - listening maybe an ordeal for some*

When Kyle told me he would like to sing for a track I was delighted. This is a first rough edit after laying down his excellent vocals. 

Mazemath pepperemix (Vocals and lyrics by the sensational Kyle Egret)

Put drums on and things, not sure what Kyle will make of it :)  not a polished work, but you get the idea.

Mazemath pepperemix2 (vocals and lyrics by Kyle Egret)

friday night rough work, messed up guitar in many places and yes at the end you can hear a squeeky chair - that's how much editing I've done. 

I hope you like - rather cheery for me i think

Another Piano Story (a friday night doodle)

you know those times when you feel the writer of your black comedy life should start using some humour? :D

Satire Corer.  - for those recently met, inc. Paul Domaster & The Roz Bruce Infusion

single take, many mess ups, an example of how limited i am playing piano and most certainly at singing :)

sounds like my voice is breaking at points :o

Dis-Ingenue-ous

Finally I have had the chance to finish this – not the way I wanted it fully, but I think it suits and at least the basis of the end is there – hope you like the update

Big thanks to Tony Wilmore for use of equipment and whiskey

If Love

What happens when you drunkenly make a track using all first takes of things you never intended to use. Again, big up me main man Tony Wilmore for supplying recording equip, starting chord sequence, stupid amounts of wine, beer and whiskey and pizzas!!

Trippy Drunk Messabout

Crowbar

All doodles here so far; I sit down, I write for a few hours, a few minutes editing, I'm happy enough. :D
