Parking in space [Haiku148]

Started messing around manually slowing a sample, Roof Light-style, and ended up with an homage to a disappeared people.

Thanks to JT for suggesting the genre name - "Dark easy". Brilliant.

The Selk'nam

The city at dusk is a place of promise. Every window, every doorway, every car, every cafe, every sign, every building site, every shout, every footstep, every thought offers a possibility. 

We can never hope to explore all these possibilities, which is a shame because although many of them will be prosaic, some of them will be beautiful. 

Stick this on and think about that for a bit.

The title is from O que me dói não é by Pessoa:

O que me dói não é 
O que há no coração 
Mas essas coisas lindas 
Que nunca existirão... 

(What hurts me is not
What is in the heart
But those beautiful things
That will never be...)

It's a Long Way Down (ft. Lockton)

After dessert Father rose from the table 
Walked out through the French windows 
And we never saw him again

Some years later a friend of the family
Reported seeing him in Paris
He was dancing to modern music
With his collar undone

Naturally we were devastated at the time
But now I am older
I have found a kind of gladness
I am glad that he was dancing

Colette Girard, Blois, 1913

The Tripping Forecast by Longwave

It's 1989 and you've taken a pill in a club; it gets too much & you wander into the chill out room & the DJ is playing a super mellow set of Radio 4 classics.

Longwave is mostly Rob Manuel. With thanks to David Ault & Chris Barker. Sample list on Google docs: https://bit.ly/Longwavesamples

If you want to download it - Soundcloud have limited downloads to 100 - boo - but we've uploaded it to the Internet Archive - so use that to make CDs or fill up one side of a C90 for your Walkman.

On the Trail of... Bob Marley. Plus old skool pubs, old skool drugs and an old school. (S4, Ep9)

Hi, I'm a South London-based composer, producer and (on a good day) musician. 

I like pianos and cellos, synthesizers and guitars, musical journeys, soundscapes, atmosphere, grooves and tunes. 

Generally speaking, the pieces posted here are a bit lighter than the style of my band, Jensen Code, so if you prefer your music a little rockier, click on the Jensen Code links below. 

Most of these tracks are available for download, but if you don't want the big WAV files then go to my Bandcamp (link below) where you can get them as mp3s. Some tracks now available on Spotify, too: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5AzgBovMOmTNmSPaEpTvpx

For all enquiries, including licensing and commissions, please email me: andy(at)deserter.co.uk

All the Jensen Code EPs are now available on Spotify:
