This is a song i wrote about a robot that's in love with a microwave. It's heavily inspired by the likes of OMD.
I wrote and recorded this song at the end of 2019 for my songwriting module at college. It's been sitting on my mac ever since so i recently decided to freshen it up and put it out to the world. Still not overly happy with my vocals but they'll do.

Lyrics:
Love, will never be the same,
The electric passion that i feel will not occur again,
I look Deep into your golden eyes.
Time, is a curious thing,
Our heartbeats synced up like a clock just waiting to go ping.
Rotation of the earth begins with you.

I, have never felt this way,
My logic dictates that these feelings are leading me astray,
The circuits of my brain just feed me lies.
Cold, frozen to the touch,
But the heat you give to me will never ever be too much,
I see myself reflected in your face.

Love, will never be the same,
The electric passion that i feel will not occur again,
I look deep into your golden eyes.
Time, is a curious thing,
Our heartbeats synced up like a clock just waiting to go ping.
Rotation of the earth begins with you.

Electronic Passion

This is a cover of London Kid by Jean-Michel Jarre. He collaborated with Hank Marvin from The Shadows on guitar on this song which was the main inspiration for me to cover it as Hank Marvin is one of my guitar heroes.

London Kid (Jean-Michel Jarre Cover)

I've had this tune in my head for about a year so i've finaly got round to recording it, it's the first song like this i've written and it's still in early stages so i hope you like it.

Epico Magnifico (Demo Version)

I downloaded a demo for EZ Drummer 2 and thought i'd challenge myself to set up a structure of drum loops that i hadn't heard before and write a song with them so i set it up with a fairly simple structure (Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse etc) and i had this written in about half an hour. 
Forgive the playing in the solo, i'm not great with solos.

Stone Tower

This is a song that started with the bassline, i thought it was pretty cool so i recorded it then just started messing around with other instruments. It got to the point where i couldn't think of where the song should go so i just kept repeating the same riff over and over. 

The Ballad Of A Synthetic Gardener Demo.

A demo for a song i wrote in my free time, i wrote the solo when i was playing to a backing track and wanted to use it in a song so i wrote and recorded Overnight(working title).
It's not the best recording but it's just a demo for a song that i may or may not use at some point in the future for a project.

Overnight

Yet another Folk Metal demo, this time ive went for a more sea shanty style.
As usual the quality isnt great and at some points the guitar and bass rhythms clash but like always its just a demo so im not bothered. And also i didnt have access to an accordion or fiddle sound on the keyboard so its lacking a bit in the verses.

Sky Pirates

This is a cover of one of my all time favourite video game songs from one of my favourite video games, composed by one of my favourite composers. Click Clock Wood is one of the last levels in Banjo Kazzoie, a game by Rare that came out on the N64 and it was composed by Grant Kirkhope.

I had originally intended to use midi instruments to recreate more of the original voicings but as i added guitar tracks for reference i ended up keeping them in and basing the whole song on layered guitar tracks.

Grant Kirkhope's songwriting has shaped my love and interest in music more than most other bands, artists and composers i listen to and he continues to inspire me today.

I recorded this during my first year studying music in 2018/19 for a Sound Production project and have just recently remixed it to post online.
Bruiser is one of my favourite Misfits songs and although i'm not a strong singer i'm happy with how this turned out.

Bruiser (Misfits Cover)

Here's my cover of the Milk Bar theme from The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask by Koji Kondo.
I've always loved the music of Kondo and this is one of many great songs he's done for the Zelda series.

I wanted to keep it faithful to the original but change the instrumentation, i hope you enjoy!

Milk Bar Guitar Cover

I play Guitar, Bass and Synth. 
I play Guitar for the Horror Themed Character Metal Band Splintered Halo and i play Guitar and Synth for the Industrial Synth Metal band Heart of Hecate, both based in Glasgow, Scotland. 
I use Soundcloud to post covers, demos and original songs i've recorded. I play a variety of genres, primarily Rock and Metal but i dabble in a bit of everything so expect a nice variety in the songs i post.
