Half of this was recorded on half a forklift pallete with a bunch of elastic bands and random bits of metal offcuts.

rhythms within rhythms, inappropriate combinations of fart synths and flamenco guitar.

not a final product, random loop, no master, insert disclaimer here.

I don't know what this is

We're making bread. This is breadmaking blues.

10 lizards enjoyed this performance. No lizards were harmed in the making of this blues.

First riff in a long long time.

Also recorded on an HTC One, production innit.

Breadbaking Blues

You Are Completely Wrong

Dedicated to Louise Patey in all manners of awesomness.

Vals (Homage to Antonio Lauro) - Vincent Lindsey-Clark perf. by Ben Mobbs

Or something, something I previously named "The Music Was Bond-Like" but maybe 3 people listened to it. About two years old now and it sticks..

Slow Reflective Passage Through Mental Space

2007. Dark days, 5am, headphones. Adolescent frustration. Musician's blood.

I Want To Make Music

I guess I'm pissed off or mentally drunk that I don't make much music these days.

Wires

Some kind of mashup of 60s organ music with a square wave dupstep oscillator and Sega Virtua Racing  /  Hotline Miami.

Organ Donation

Something mellow and reflective in G# in Lewes.

Ignore the false start.. this isn't srs business yo.

Gee Melow

Another cellular drone doodle with heavy whammy and a time signature I can't figure out at all.

Risks

Very rough recording of an idea I can't really play yet, recorded with the Soundcloud Android App (protip: that unfortunately crashed so I had to get the file off the SD card from the Soundcloud folder and append M4A file extension). Meaning, terrible audio quality.

Experimenting with "double drop D" tuning (both E strings / 1st and 6th tuned down to D), which I've never really opened myself up to before for technical reasons.

Something of an Underworld

Quick funky melodic off-beat comp with a driving bass.

A Quick Drive

Some minimal riffage and sweet snappy beats.

Going Through the Motions

This was originally released as part of a global game jam soundtrack for "PingSong" by Rob Sheridan and myself featuring various tunes with a dynamic visualiser that accelerated the classic Pong gameplay. For this reason a strong pulse was needed and the texture gets more frenetic to make the gameplay more difficult. Also it's a loop. http://globalgamejam.org/2017/games/pingsong

PingSong

Machine 80

An old MIDI comp with zero dynamics transformed with Moog synths and a Rhodes MK1 model. Latin/salsa and eastern influences.

It's Pretty Decent (Sailing the Latin River)

funk/disco bass possession with a fat chorus

Crack-O-Funk

Boss Theme

Jibber

Off the cuff recording of jamming along to Chordbot for Android. Recorded with Samalyse TapeMachine for Android with phone's inbuilt mic (HTC Desire S). Not bad quality really.

Jamming With Chordbot For Android at Farnham

This is a rough demo of a song I wrote and performed but have never recorded. Needs some track replacements, mixing and there's no mastering (not even EQ on the vocal). Also not sure about the washing machine...

It is dedicated to Stephen Robert Parker, a friend who tragically passed away in his room due to complications with diabetes, January 2010. He was only 18, was a passionate aspiring film maker, very loving and a general dude. He is always missed.

In Stephen's funeral dedications I promised I would remember him through song. This was written shortly after the funeral in an evening, and is generally about how mortality puts negativity and cynicism to rest once and for all. 

It's about time I recorded it. Please be gentle I know it's a ballad and all that..

I tried recording improvised harmonies for probably the first time and am working on my vocal. The bass track also needs re-recording as the jack on it is shot; I've picked up a bass about once in years.

RIP Stephen
