"The dumb grey is here to stay, darker above, and below
 But all carefully sanitised
A chill traverses the air in the night
 suspended water chills the soil, can spring be far behind?
 To hell with it, to hell with it! 
They call it Nuclear Winter
 It’s just a colder shade of dreadful"

Nuclear Winter (Can Spring Be Far Behind?)

Riding The Wave

"We can dream of what tomorrow may bring,
but I'm with you today, my love,
We're in this moment for eternity, 
we're the drifters of the skies above

Rest now, I'm holding you, 
let go of your aches and pains,
Love is patient, 
it's always of this moment,
that will never change"

Love Is Patient

I was challanged to write a song about a May Bug (Cockchafer) flying into my hair during a nice evening stroll...

I kept getting distracted with different ideas, but ettled with this...

I've written this peice of music to accompany a part of a video wherein a train is coming out of a large, dark tunnel, and emerges in the snowy Scandinavian scenescape, a crisp breath of fresh air and sense of winter magic...

I made this track to fit a video of a rocket launch. Go from 40 seconds in and play both the track and the video...

My first attempt at composing an orchestral, film-score piece. Not yet mixed.

Invincible Summer

Your nauticle voyage begins with your boat rocking steadily with the breath-like swell of the ocean, as it drifts from the Irish coast. The Atlantic Ocean unravels her icy darkness around you until she reveals her nurturing centre - Stars reflecting, and shimmering across her body, inviting you to look up at the star speckled sky. You are filled with the sense of awe, and oneness. At one with the ocean, one with stars, and all that is...

Stars Of The North Atlantic

"A crow's preliminary jumps and bouncing before it suddenly takes flight"

The Crow

"Anaesthetised reality, your dose to get you going, to keep you going – don’t ask where you’re going. That’s when the abyss reveals itself. Someone it swallows, some spend the rest of their lives seeking obliviousness – everybody falls, sooner or later. Are you up for it? You just have to play the game..."

Future Trance

In the frosty hillside, my heart escaped the cold  
Left the winter blues behind, as I stood beside the pond 
Looking down to my seaside town
and far into the horizon
Said my thanks to the sea and the sky
I smiled with the setting sun  

See you in the summer time,
we'll walk again at last  
I'll take you to the hillside pond  
And explore the sunny paths 

Now that I am older
The years have come to pass 
But I still remember
When we walked the sunny paths

Looking down to my seaside town,
From the old familiar hillside 
The salty breeze from the southern seas
Let me know the spring is nigh
