Organ, vocal, percussion and lots of effects

I Don't Wanna Live Alone

Once I recorded the music it felt like it needed dialogue rather than singing so I wrote a little story.

Around In Circles

Influenced by the work of Nick Drake and CSN, I wanted to create a minimal track with very limited instruments and FX. The track is an ode to experiences with relationships and how people can fall in love but due to the complications of life leave each other even though they're still in love.

Eyes Of A Million Stars

Gotta Stop Drinkin'

Perfect Harmony

Mixing genres here starting with a keyboard and developing the soundscape into acoustic guitars and vocals with live percussion. I really hear a Pink Floyd influence here and maybe some Primal Scream and Beta Band. I f you like it let me know appreciate all comments.

If only I knew sooner

Nice days work working with keyboards and drum sampler adding live bits and pieces to create a jolly Vision of Life

A Vision Of Life

Experimental Ambience Nothing fancy just started with cymbals and built it up gradually.

There's A Place Near The Woods

Loved the idea of blending de-tuned guitar with big echo delay vocals no actual lyrics just a vibe.

Sacred Hearts

Recorded at Seagate Studios Dundee, Scotland, UK 

Time to Go

Motownish, back beat schmoltz, with attempts at guitar, ha! ha! We had a 4 hour window and we produced this 2.30 min track in that slot.  Drums sounded massive being recorded in the hall.

One True Love
