Tempus fugit

Out of a somewhat sorry sounding musical milieu of half-started, half-baked and half-abandoned ingredients, this strange composition that you hear before you now, slowly yet determinedly, began to emerge and assume a structural form where, for a seemingly endless period during the early part of the production process, no such spark had seemed possible.

The notion of adopting a considerably accelerated tempo for this number had not been my intention from the outset - originally, this piece was expected to jog along at a steady 102 bpm - but then, out of nowhere, the idea of doubling the pace shuffled forward and suggested itself with a slightly self-conscious and apologetic shrug. After playing around with it for some time, I soon discovered that this had the potential to lock the entire, previous hotch-potch of uninspired themes into a much more cohesive musical whole, so I stuck with it and hey presto: the aforementioned structural form solidified.

So, there you have it, wonderful people: "His Very Words" was prepared, sliced, diced, boiled, cooked and baked during the late summer/early autumn of 2021, entirely in Ableton Live 11 and is served up here for your delectation and listening pleasure on this day, the 13th October 2021.

For this release, I'm delighted to welcome back on artwork duties the irrepressible collage exponent, Harl Vind. His incredible visual is entitled, "So Now I've Got No Mouth But I'm Still Screaming". I'm sure you'll concur that it's a fitting match for the music.

The guitar idea for this piece was originally recorded back in 2015.
It stayed on my hard drive until i stumbled across it again recently. 
I liked the chords as they brought back some memories and feelings of nostalgia......

'Rising From The Ashes Part I' is the first part of a trilogy inspired by the awakening of the men and women all over the world. And so is a tribute to "hope".......

Back on Soundcloud after some time away. Looking forward to getting some more music posted.

I like to name instruments. For me it imbues them with added life or personality. I don’t tend to go for girls names. I prefer obscure, silly or pretentious ones. I named this 12 string ‘Castrovalva’ after a Lego space cruiser I had for Christmas in the late seventies or early eighties. I named the space cruiser after an episode of Dr Who.
