So I've been messing around with this lovely impressionistic piano tune by Bill Evans... This is the result.

Tuning: CADGBE
Squier Classic Vibe Tele with Bare Knuckle Yardbirds into Guitar Rig 5 on a Fender Deluxe Reverb setting

"Peace Piece" (Bill Evans) guitar arrangement

Here is something I recorded a while back for college.  It's the jazz standard "My Ship" done in the style of Joe Pass and Ella Fitzgerald.  Recorded live together in the room, no overdubs.

Vox- Prune Karlen
Guitar-Andrew Beveridge
Recording-Andrew Beveridge/James Eddowes


My Ship (Kurt Weill)

Here's something I made on a cold winter afternoon/evening...   Its a kind of ambient electronic minimal thing... Enjoy!

Falling Through Clouds

This is an ambient/glitch/techno kind of thing.  The idea came from sampling things I had around me (lighter, handclaps, keys, breath etc.) and then messing them up Logic with processing, turning them into beats or otherwise.  The guitars were recorded using Guitar Rig 5  but most of the other processing was done with long plug-in chains that nearly made my computer crash several times!

I was influenced by a lot of the stuff on Jon Hopkins last album "Immunity" as well as by Brian Eno, Four Tet, Aphex Twin and others.  The track is named after a beer I was drinking when I finished mixing... No reason really!

Profanity Stout

This is an ambient, chilled out track I made last year.  It fits somewhere in between Four Tet and Mogwai probably if I had to say.  Programming and all instruments mixing and everything else done by me.  

I am really interested in the way that accidental and found sounds in recordings can be manipulated and destroyed until they resemble something entirely different.  In this case the accidental squeaking of my chair while recording the acoustic guitar was sampled, chopped up and turned into the main beat.  I feel in this way that electronic music can be made a bit more human which is nice. 

The spoken word in this was taken from Allan Watts, for no other reason than I thought it fit.  The field recordings at the beginning and end were taken around The Water of Leith, Edinburgh.  

For best results listen on decent headphones or speakers VERY late at night.

A culmination of a lot of pondering, memories and inspiration from the great band the irrepressible's. 

Domestic Disturbance

we recommend listening to this through headphones. This is our version of Smalltown boy by Bronski Beat. Becca loves this song and Andrew just went along with it ^^ 

Smalltown Boy

Got myself a new guitar a few weeks ago... Thought I'd record some blues with it.  The amp is a Mesa Boogie Express 5 25 set to crunch mode :)   

Gear:
Squier Classic Vibe Tele
-Mesa Express 5 25

Blues With Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster

This is a quick test of a new pedal I got a few months ago, it's a germanium oxfuzz made by Ken from the band Sons of Otis.

I'm running a USA strat with Bareknuckle Apaches into the pedal with the fuzz knob full and vol on 9 o clock.  This is then going into a Mesa Express 5 25 on the 25 watt "blues" setting... No reverb or compression applied in mixing.  Everything you hear is the amp, pedal and guitar.

Enjoy!!

Strat into mesa express 5:25 on the blues channel...

So What (Improvisation)

Here is a trip hop/ambient song I wrote and recorded tonight.  It's pretty different to anything else I've ever done before, please comment if you like it.

Bass Guitar, Programming and vocals are all me :)
