I wanted to create a piece of music which would give the listener a feeling of being underwater 🫧🌊

The Blue Abyss

I thought I would challenge myself to come up with an orchestral piece, predominantly using strings and percussion, something which I've never done before. I wanted it to sound cinematic.

The Hunt

I'm predominantly a guitar player so I thought I would challenge myself to write a piece of music on the piano, something which I've never done before. 
I've always been a fan of calm piano music and this was the result of jamming around a D major chord. 

Falling

I wanted to create a dreamy sounding track using only two chords, this was the result. 

Wandering In A Dream

This started with myself playing a simple loop on the piano, which progressed into layering each instrument over the top. I wanted to create feel and emotion with each layer. 

Holding On

This is a piece of music that I wrote on the guitar sometime in 2017. I decided to record it again with the added cello and release it onto the world.
I recorded it using my Yamaha Revstar standard with P90 pickups, Orange Rockerverb amp model from my Line 6 HX Stomp and played around with the Valhalla Supermassive Plugin.

Lost Soul

This one came out of the ether!
I was experimenting with different sounds from the 808 style drum machine, to combining synth's, electric guitar, ambient cello, violin and percussion together to create this piece. I was struggling with what to name it but because it got progressively heavier towards the end, heavy rain felt apt.
Guitar used - Yamaha Revstar Standard loaded with P90 pickups, played through my Line 6 HX Stomp.

Heavy Rain

Part 1 of my "All Hope Is Lost" mini track series.
The world is broken and all hope is lost....

As the tears fall 
The end is realised
The knife embedded 
Darkness

Words penned by my friend Keith Dorman, his response after listening to the music.

All Hope Is Lost

Part 2 of my "All Hope Is Lost" mini track series.
The world is broken and all hope is lost but still the nomad wanders...

All is fallen
The lonely road
Levelled earth
It was never a secret
Open diffinitness

Words penned by my friend Keith Dorman, his response after listening to the music.

Bass guitar used - Fender Precision Bass 

Nomad

Merry Christmas 🎄❄️☃️⭐

It's my favourite time of year so I thought I would try and create a festive sounding piece of music! 

A Winter's Tale

Part 3 of my "All Hope Is Lost" mini track series.
The world is broken and all hope is lost but still the nomad wanders, into territories unknown he must escape...

Escape or Capture

This is just a short experimental piece recording my acoustic guitar.
I've never been happy with the sound of acoustic guitars plugged in direct. 
I sometimes record my ideas using the internal recorder on my phone, and this is what you're hearing.
I recorded the acoustic guitar on my phone then transferred the file into my DAW and EQ'd etc in my DAW. I'm quite happy with the sound.
The cover picture is my Faith Mercury acoustic guitar that I used. 

Fond Memories

Part 4 of my "All Hope Is Lost" mini track series.
The world is broken and all hope is lost but still the nomad wanders, into territories unknown he escaped but not without sin, now longing and searching for salvation...

Freezing The Inferno

1980's inspired nostalgia. 
Co produced with my wife, Olivia Grant, as she recommended for me to change the original lead guitar part so it is more melodic and not loads of notes played in your face. I think it worked for the better.
Hope you all enjoy listening 🎧
