im not great at singing, and can rarely be bothered to do second takes so hopefully the imperfections make it endearing?

clouds

withering hope,
steps on cushioned petals
bound to fill pavement gutters,
scentless and soundless debris,
all that will come to be
- they'll lift in time -
scattered by summers breeze,
dancing shadows behind the orange curtain glow.

all that will come to be

scentless and soundless debris

bound to fill pavement gutters

dancing shadows behind the orange curtain glow

a cover of one of my favourite mogwai songs - this version is without drums
here's the version with: https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/r-u-still-in-2-it-cover?si=76b88cf0239a4078a80b6d3adc81443b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

r u still in 2 it (mogwai cover, no drums)

i almost wish

to another ending

wind bound (extended)

a simple cover of a Roy Montgomery song - well, the lyrics that is - theyre not the right chords or key (and even then the words not right haha, for some reason I heard it as ‘poem’ instead of ‘cold’ - but I like how it sounds anyway)

i was trying to learn the tab for red house painters 'grace cathedral park' and got distracted

heres the noisier demo version; https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/rec-20250124-18h01m44s-just-melacholy-rough/s-kry34MnTO5B?si=aeba44ae4c4347ae9a939c403860f850&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

just melancholy (roy montgomery cover)

mistress (rough red house painters cover)

Made from 2 layered improvised recordings:
guitar : https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/mist-engulf-me/s-QLkzXfjQ5NN?si=699331be2daa4e579faeb749fe1f2903&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
voice : https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/turn-to-me/s-pANCzKQscT9?si=48cee3cd5dab40b4bbde0f42c9c26e73&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

mist engulfed, turn to me

dark ascent

if all the words i wrote came true -
all the poems i wrote for you, 
i'd remove this strange attire,
masquerading false-desire

if i could lay them in a fire
and watch the flames climb ever higher,
flicker in the speckled night
punctuated lights in flight

the ash will glow
but cool to grey,
thoughts i long to drop
but cling to in confusion
knowing that im lost,
leaning on them like a branch
when roots cant keep my tired stance

do i whisper to the fire?
answer voices in the crackling pyre?

i’ll be warm here by the fire
in hope you’ll join me for a while
will i burn, or freeze in cold
as i long to turn to gold?

poems (of you)

non-layered version (just the voice memo from phone): https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/make-me-know-me/s-NelwbQO8asn?si=e51601b858644168a0c0254f20ecbe3c&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

i was singing but listening back it just sounds like humming, think its just the mic quality

these are not the words explicity as i usually write after:

and ill throw it away,
and ill throw it away,
see it flowing away
ive not grown into it
make this land reach me

im not whole yet
i still stow it away
is it trying to breach me?

im not holy
theres no whole to me
make me whole 
completely
show me how to reach this.

Ill not throw it away,
Ill not throw it away,
make me holy (teach me how to give)
please just hold me (teach me how to live)
please just hold me (ive so much to give)
please just know me (theres so much to live)

make me know me (teach me)

entombed

this is almost a month old, but hadnt got round to making it public. made from field recordings, synth, unplugged electric guitar - most of the sound comes from convolution reverbs using the field recordings as impulse responses (thats what is creating the harmonic resonance)

greenwich park

based on a voice memo ive put on here, and inspired by the red house painters song 'moments' (in particular the hard panned guitar parts)

(fallen tree instrumental demo)

fallen tree (voice memo)

made from sampled vocals and a field recording

when the clouds break through
every rose turns blue
curved to shapes of you
gently falls into

every violent scream 
from the winding stream
turns my lips to blue
trembing next to you

when the tide comes in
my heart bleeds within
the setting sun turns blue
glow surrounding you

blue sun

song for maria

murmured

my grey leaving live at murmured/blared

arranging stones into a circle

respite

this was included as a bonus track on the bandcamp release of 'sustained/fields', but figured its been a year now so I'll just upload it here

entwined (bonus track)

alternative mix of https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/entombed?in=binthorn/sets/signpost/s-1fZuB05r1ZB&si=92532931cdcc4caea3f3ddfe8c0eecd6&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

entombed (field)

ace of cups

ace of cups (lofi mix)

Im going to be moving some things around soon so tracks might disappear

i think ill probably keep the 'my grey leaving' ambient-shoegaze stuff here and move the other demos and random stuff (as bin/thorn) over to Nina as it has unlimited upload space, and has free streaming
