John Fahey, We Would Be Building- guitar and violin cover by Alex Andres

A lovely factory preset entitled, Orion. The built in effects from Sinevibes sound lovely, like a bubbly spring reverb, though its in fact a high feedback delay.  No external effects used. Sequenced from Arturia Keystep Pro.

Dreadbox Typhon - ORION (Pluck Sequence)

Pueblo St - we’ll never kiss in the rain (outro)

a demo of a song i wrote two years ago and recorded 8/4/24 <3
lyrics:

crocodile, crocodile, crying on the seashore
cover your arms with a long sleeve t-shirt
you're so far away now but i need you darling
crocodile, crocodile, dancing with your silhouette
lit the other end of your cigarette
you find god, forgive him but you won't forget this 

i'm in the wind, i'm in the sun, i've always been my father's son
the water holds me the same way that he did
he's on the shore, i'm in the water, if i ever have a daughter
will this childhood ever be repeated?
i've so much love to give, it's here in case you need it

crocodile, crocodile i would give you everything
remember you don't owe anyone anything
i bless the virgo sun that i left you in
i hope it kept you warm, i know it never did

just promise to keep me in your memory
see the light that's shining in your reverie 
we used to be so young but now we'll never be, will we ever be? 
were we ever?

you're in the wind, you're in the sun
you've never been your father's son 
i hold and hurt you the same way that he did 
he's in my eyes, you're holding water 
pray you'll never have a daughter 
leave this childhood but you can't escape it 
i've so much love to give i know you'll never take it 

crocodile, crocodile, see you in a little while
i'll hold your shaking hand, i know you're still a child 
but i'll do anything just to see you smiling 
in the next life, i'll be graceful
i'll grow up and i'll stay clean and i'll stay quiet
build a house and live inside it, i won't drown or sanctify it
save the deer, forgive the headlights
find god and resurrect him 
but you're bleeding out in this life
i can save you in the next one

Lighthouse (Its Light For A While)

The End of Spring was a piece put together for an art exhibition in Dublin in April 2024.

The piece consists of reel to reel tape loops, field recordings and granular synthesis, from the archive or composed for the piece, to be played live at the gallery as a soundtrack to the space.

Longer evenings, new beginnings, warm unreliable memories and the end of spring.

This is a live take of the piece.
