A bit of experimenting with some new plug ins.

Alive

A very 80s fashion laid back synth track.

Hammer It Home

Cool and deep house with acidic overtones and robotic vocals.

Closely

This is my attempt at recreating the Goa Trance (psychedelic trance), sound from the early 90s, using modern equivalents to the synths of the time.

Haunted Island

Some glitchy, D&B style drums, bubbly bassline and whatever else I felt like putting on the track.

Bubble - Party

Put your feet up, sit back and relax! This is a slow, chillout track with pleasing piano riffs and some interesting vocal chants. Pairs well with a full bodied Merlot or a rich single malt.

Get Enough

A slow, dark,  progressive Synthwave track. All looped arpeggios.

Light Raven

A laid back, chilled out jazzy li'l number.

One Last Drink

One Rule For You

We can see from the news on our screens
That in some quarters life can be cheap
And if life can be horribly cheap
Well then what could life possibly mean?
And if life can be quickly cut short
Well then what could life really be worth?

But you can’t afford to draw from this the obvious conclusions
No you have to live within the mist of positive illusions

You’ve got to tell yourself
That there’s one rule for you and one for everybody else
You’ve got to tell yourself
It’ll come good for you if not for anybody else

If you’re claiming that providence rules
Because fate has been smiling on you
Your philosophy doesn’t explain
Why for others it deals only pain

Or you chose to trust the Lord above to answer all your prayers
But you can’t supply a reason why he never answers theirs

You’ve got to tell yourself
That there’s one rule for you and one for everybody else
You’ve got to tell yourself
That he’ll look out for you and dump on everybody else

It’s the only way we can get on
Seeing storylines where there are none
And the knowledge of coming decay
Is a thought we put off till that day

No you’re better off protected from reality’s intrusions
So you slip the tinted lenses on maintaining your illusions

You’ve got to kid yourself
That there’s one rule for you and one for everybody else
You must convince yourself
There’s a purpose for you if not for anybody else
